I wish I had helped out more at home so I could claim somebody was dependent on me without laughing. I have checked and double checked to see if I couldn’t dig up some evidence of what a help I was to you and pop but I did not have no luck to speak of. * * » All I could get down on paper was these three cases: 1. —Once about three years ago when pop was sick ten days I took care of the furnace and chipped in about $4 to help pay family expenses. (This is subject to error. It may have been $4.50, but I kept no pa pers.) 2. —In 1938 or 1939 I forget witch when he was on a auto trip we had a blowout and I did not let you and dad get out and change the tire. I did it myself. 3.—Last year the radio went on the fritz just wh^n you and dad want ed to hear some favorite program and I fixed it for you. Also I went to the delicatessen store for you a couple of times when dad was two tired. • • • I do not think this is enuff to get the army to send me home as a dependency case, so if you can think of anything let me know and you better make out a affedavits and have it sworn by a notarery public as the officers is very suspicious. • • • The paper says some units will lose 30 per cent of their men through releases but if all the boys in my unit who are trying to get out are successful mine will lose at least 99' per cent. Otto Bixby’s folks have dug up evidence that he is over 28 years old and that they put him down as 26 because they lived two years in Brooklyn witch don’t count. • • • Otto also says his family is suf fering without him as his mother can’t carry up coal and wood three flights like -he used to. He also says his sis ter has arthuritus and can’t mow the lawn, wash the flivver and do all the washing and ironing. Al together his being away from home leaves the family in a awful fix he says. • • • Another boy in my cutfit says he is needed right away at home as two new saloons have opened up near his house and his old man is less a help than ever. I am still trying to get out on the ground I am a hardship case and two new things happened by way of evidence this week. First I had two front teeth pulled the same day that we had steak for dinner. If that ain’t a hardship I don’t know what is. Next I am innoculated so many times that to look at me you would think woodpeckers had been work ing all over me. And Nellie Peter sen ain’t wrote me in over a hole week all of witch makes me feel more like a hardship case than ever. • • • Of coarse if I was married I could get out of the army in the Christ mas releases and I am now con vinced that early marriage is a good thing for every boy. Not thaf I wood be such a heel as to get married to dodge the draft, but I just wish I had got married to a nice girl four or five years ago when I had some fine chances. If I had my life to live over again I wood get married by the time I was 18 and no later. • • • If I was anywhere near 28 I might stand a show of getting out, but un less you made a mistake in the berth certifficates there is no hope that way. Could you check up all over again &nd be sure. I always used to hate to think of being as old as 28 or 30 but after a year in a army no age seems so swell, in fact with the world as cockeyed like it is today I would have no com plaint if I was 50. Will this will have to be all for now and do not worry as T am beef ing just because it feels good and life in a army is not so bad when you get used to it. Love, Oscar. P. S.—I hear Mildred Donaldson has moved back into our neighbor hood. Do you know her address? • « * ONE RESULT Though “War Is Hell” one thing I see: It has taught us geography. —Edna G. Groskin. • • • Due to priorities, drug stores will have to cut by 15 to 25 per cent many of the items they now carry, it is predicted. Well, that’s okay with us. We’re tired of dropping into an apothecary shop for a pill and coming out with a roll of linoleum, a percolator, a wrist watch and a new painting for the hall bedroom.
