We have it straight from Smith, who
was talking to Jones, whose horse was
told by the majors horse land tho ma
j)r's horse ought to lInowD that the
cavalry is enjoying its second excursion
and that they will soon be back. But
we hesitate to give any opinion ourselves
except this: that we have come to have a
big place in cur hearts for the men of the
cid First PENNSYLVANIA Cavalry and we
send with them in whatever branch of the
service they may again be called our sin
cere best. wishes for their success and ad-
vancement We feel that they have done
as much for the work in our building as
we have tried to do for them and their
cooperation in all of our endeavors to
make life worth living we have greatly
appreciated.
This last week changes have occurred
ssn the makeup of our staff Mr.. Sim
mons of Magnolia, Miss, comes to us as
building secretary. while Mr.. Smith, who
called to Building No. rs to promote the
educational and social departments. We
are left without a religious work director
and a physical director. but we trust
that we shall be able to keep things GO
ing in better shape than ever despite the
handicap.
We were well pleased with the concert
given on Monday night by the 10th In
fantry Band They showed their inter
est in the work of the association by
playing long and well. Marsh Of Head
quarters Company, made it all the more
pleasant by his solos from time to time.
The interest in the current events talks
which are given each Monday night by
Secretary Hcitkamp is increasing The
on the Italian and Western fronts de-
mand that our men make themselves
quainted with what is going on and by
coming to these talks a sufficient bit of
information may be had to enable one to
understand the movements of the ma
tons and their armies.
The "best entertainment CT the year"
was rendered by Mrs. Carroll on Tues

perfect
Thanksgiving Day, with the rain COM

roof, proved to be a most pleasant one
after all. The regimental service was at

In the evening the cavalry band rem
dered fine concert. At 7:45 we had the
pleasure of introducing Hon. Samuel L.
Olive, president of the Senate and lieu
tenant governor. In a very witty and
appropriate address of some thirty-fiVe
minutes he so stirred the large number
of men present that an ovation of hand-
clapping and other expressions of delight
followed After listening to the band
concert for few minutes and expressing
his thanks to them and complimenting
them upon their playing, he told the boys
that "they were a better bunch of boys
that they would be-" at which more APP

One of the best things about our movie
shows is the way the fellows sing the
songs that are flashed on the screen be-

others have been contributed, but all are
sung with a willard some 'pep" Sat

crowd that we tried the experiment of
running a second show.
Our week closed with the Sunday serv-
ices; the one in the morning being con-
Quoted by Mr.. Zebley; and in the evening
by Mr. Dobson. Both were inspiring and
the intense interest of the men at both
times proves that a change in the speaker
and a short snappy address straight from
the shoulder makes for the most sue
