Dear Folks:
Camp Fremont Is the most ideally
located cantonment In the world: we
admit that much. One reason for our
bold assertion Is the fact that the
camp is I'm California, the paramount
state In the Union for climate and a
few other things, including Native
Sons. Of which, by the way, we have
g few. We believe Camp Fremont fan
6urpasses all the other camps on the
Pacific shores, Of which there are two,
by virtue of its ideal location in the
central portion of the Bear State.
While the eastern environments were
lost In snowdfifts this winter and the
inhabitants thereof suffered from the
effects of Cold Feet, and while our
Aei9hbors to the north were waller

Spring Fever is the only malady which
seriously affects Fremontites, and so
our chaplains are kept busy and not
