iM A. Page Eight THE CLINTON CHRONICLE, CLINTON, S. C Thursday, March 25, 1943 Members and Retiring Officers of Goldville Chapter, Order Eastern Star No. 154 A "SEABEE" WRITES From J. fi. Cranford, of this ■ city, now^in the Seabeas service, stationed at the Naval Construction Training center, Camp Endicott, Davisville, Rhode Island, THE CHRONICLE has received the following appreciated letter. Editor, The Chronicle: I have read many of the very in teresting letters published in The Chronicle from my buddies all over the world. The folks at home will- never know what' a gift from heaven is until they are away from home and receive The Chronicle. I believe this will be the first let ter you have received from a “Sea- bee.” Maybe you and millions of oth ers have never heard of the “Sea- bees,” but when this war is over the flag of the “Seabees” will fly high. We miss our loved ones at home, and with the aid of those at home we will all be together and continue liv ing in a free country under the “Stars and Stripes.” Again, I, wish to tell you that I, like the boys overseas, welcome The Chronicle with all my heart and look forward to it every week. I wish you would print just one note for me, which is intended for all the Clinton men in service every where: “3oys, I’m here ready and waiting to join you, and I send to you all my best wishes for good luck and happi ness always. I’m looking forward to our meeting at the ‘Trolley House’ to discuss our victories.” Good luck and best wishes, J. B. CRANFORD, S 2-C.

But now these same long distance telephone lines are needed more and more to help produce the imple ments of war and move them to the fighting fronts. New lines cannot be built to fully meet the increasing volume of calls because the raw materials needed are being made into weapons of war. Unnecessary long dis tance calls may slow up vi tal war calls. That's espe cially true of 'long haul" calls, for the greater the distance you talk, the great er the threat to war service. You can do much to help speed victory by making only necessary long distance calls and by being brief in all telephone conversations.
