AM sorry for Jobie Foster, for I hear
her bestest is going to sail for France
In August with Eugene Simonin when he
returns, to do ambulance service work,
too. Jobie's engagement to Douglas S.
Bright was announced about a month
ago, and I'm sure the separation and the
dangers which will be encountered before
his return must give her a pretty bad
heartache.
However, who can tell, perhaps they
will hurry the date Of the wedding, though
that does not help much unless she could
go with him.
Eugene Simonin, you remember, re.
ceived his ambulance from his parents
for Christmas gift, and has been over
in France for many months working like
a Trojan TO help the sick and wounded.
He came home about a month ago on
furlough, and so returns in five or six
weeks.
