| LOOK WHO'S HERE We are glad
| to welcome the 81 new men that have
! come TO US from Texas They look like
| fine fellows and they are already no
strangers. Sergt David H Oliver is
quiet sort OF fellow but we have been
able by the hardest work to get small
bit of information out OF him.
| on the 18th of June about 1850 men
! who had enlisted for that purpose, en-
| tered school at the State Normal College
| 70 study such lines Of work as they were
| best fitted to do in helping Uncle Sam
| in this big job he has taken over OF
canning the kaiser and making the world
| a better place for all of US to live. This
particular group took up the work of
/ making themselves expert auto mechan-
| les. On August 18th the course closed
| and the and the men were sent into this
| camps for the first time to see real camp
! lie and to begin the work for which
1 they had been preparing. Some Of them
| went TO Camp Funston, some to Upton,
| ana some to Pike, but our 81 friends were
| sent to Camp Wheeler in Macon. many
| miles from their old home state After
| three days there they entrained again for
| this camp and here they are.
! We are proud to have such fine,
| friendly outstanding set of fellows here
with us, and from the looks OF them, we
| can easily believe 1t when they say that
| they arc eager to get to work at tber
| line here oranywhere else but especially
would they like to drive their trucks into
| Berlin after Bin and his safety-frst sons.
