The church truly has grra, rca-
son to rejoice in the successful ycar

of the church.

the church.

Letter from Al Meyer
Dear NIotller:-


We arrived here yesterday after
busy ever since. making camp.
Haven't had chance te write and
We aren t thru yet.
This certainly is fine camp
here. There are about 10000 Sol
diers here and they are still com
ing in every day. We are nicely
situated in the Scamp. We are
about a block from the postofficr
and Y. NJ. {. A., where am
writing. Here they have all kinds
of reading matter. Il piano. Wet :
rola and all those things.
The camp is built just like a city
with streets and everything such as
sewers for drainage.
We sleep in tents. Eight in a
tent. but our dining room or rather
mess hall is Il building and arrang-
ed nicely. We have an almost
modern toilet and fine shower
baths. The best part of it is that
each company has their own things
and you don IT have to go where ev'
eryone else does. Everything is left
clean and sanitary. 1t certainly
is fine camp. The boys who
were at the border say this is ).
paradise towards what they had in
Texas.
Charlotte is town of about
10000 population and certainly is
nice city. We are about two
miles from the city and all you
have to do is hail a jitney and the
trip costs you twenty-five cents.
We can't leave camp until five
o clock in the afternoon and have
to be back at ten in the evening.
] am not sure but | think We are
at liberty to leave camp any time
on Wednesday, Saturdays and Sun
days.
We have fine climate here. The
day get pretty warm but the even
ings are nice and cool. However.
if one gets i'll the shade in the day
time there is generally always Il
cool breeze even if the sun is hot.

cause we didn't have straw ticks
and enough blankets and evidently
it got pretty chilly.
The soil is red, sandy clay,
they make brick out Of it and all
along the way there were lot Of
brick factories in this state.
We certainly had wonderful
trip. One never to. be forgotten.
The scenery here is beautiful Go

In the food conservation for our nation

one exception of sugar, every product
necessary TO feed our fighting friends

dairy protlucts-is raised on our farms.
If we just try. it will not be difficult
to conserve and send larger quantities
of these foods to Europe. We produce
what they need. In other words. if
