Fred Writes—
Mr. O. F. Armfield,
Dear Sir:
I received quite a few newspapers
a few days ago from Salt Lake and
Walla Walla, Washington.
Although they were back issues
really enjoyed them.
I don’t know how long we’ll be
here, but I’m sure that it won’t be
long.
I’m flying on a “fortress” and real
ly like it.
Regards to the folks back home.
Regards,
L. F. Paysinger.

What To Send Overseas
The New York headquarters of the
USO recently held a survey among
the visitors to the club as to what
service men would like to get for
Christmas. Soldiers, sailors and ma
rines when questioned. Most of them
answered in the spirit of service to
thier millions of buddies, appraising
from camp experience and contacts
what would be most practical and
acceptable gifts from home.
If you haven’t sent that Christmas
box yet, and are still undercided what
to send, maybe this list will help you
in your selection. Don’t forget that
you must mail Christmas packages
by the 1st of November to be received
overseas by Christmas.
In the Army, the majority would
like to recieve cigarets, Water-proof
wristwatch, portable radio, regulation
shirts and wallet, Navy- Waterproof
wrist watch, portable radio, wallet,
photo in unbreakable frames, cig
arets and overnight bags.
Time after time, the plea is for
small, nonbulky items that can be
carried about and easily packed. So
certainly it’s SMALL GIFTS unless
the man is permanently stationed in
this country.
The majority of the Navy men
would like to get a quick-working
razor blade sharpener. The army also
agrees with the Navy on this item
The survay showed that a number
of Navy men would ateo like to get
religious articles. The Bible and New
Testament are most wanted.
Other things that they like are:
cigaret lighters, pen and pencil sets,
stationary, books, magazines, pipe to
bacco, good regulation socks, water
proof money belt, campact kit of
bathtowels, small sewing kit com
pletely fitted, warm slippers, good
pocket knife, polished metal unbreak
able mirror and subscription to home
paper. Naturally the cakes that mo
ther bakes lead the prepared list.
Keepup those packages of good eats.

THE KID HAS GONE TO THE
COLORS
The Kid has gone to the Colors
And we don’t know what to say:
The Kid we have loved and cuddled
Stepped out for the flag today.
We thought him a child, a baby,
With never a care at all,
But his country called him man-size
And the Kid has heard the call.
He paused to watch the recruiting,
Where, fired by the fife and drum,
He bowed his head to Old Glory
And thought it whispered: “Come!”
The Kid, not being a slacker,
Stood forth with patroit joy
To add his name to the roster—
And God, we’re proud of the boy!
The Kid has gone to the colors;
It seems but a little while
Since he drilled a school boy army
In a truly martial style.
But now he’s a man, a soldier.
And we lend him listening ear,
For his heart is a heart all loyal.
Unscourged by the curse of fear.
His dad, when he told him, shuddered.
His mother (God bless ber) criedj
Yet, blessed with a mother nature.
She wept with a mother pride.
But he whose shoulders straightened
Was grandad—for memory ran
To years’ when he too, a youngster,
Was changed by the flag to a man!
—William Herschell

ROSEMONT CEMETERY
It is very gratifying to see how
many lots have been cleaned during
the last week. Some, however, have
failed to do anything. This gives the
cemetery a raged apearance. It re
quires very little work to clear the
weeds from a lot and yet it adds so
much to the general appearance of
the whole cemetery as well as to the
lot itself. Just a few minutes given
to this work today and tomorrow
would help wonderfully.
Walk through the cemetery some
time during the next few days and
see if you are satisfied with the con
dition of your lot.
