on the Job. have Just returned
from a seven days trip. Was clear

trips we have TO pay our own ex-
penses and are reimbursed when we
return. Well here In where the
punk" part comes In. There were
three OF us boys and we went broke.
and with the little change we all
had we bought six cans OF beans
and one can OF jam at n U. 8. army
store. and we got our bread along the
road. We had TO make 500 miles
In two days. 30 we didn't take time
TO stop at camps 10 eat. but beat II.
The cars were small so we couldn't
make much speed and had no time
to loose. We slept in the cars as
we drove early and late and ate
bread and beans. Nevertheless We
had n dandy trip. Also got to see
some Of the nre works and hear the
bic Berthas bark. We stood on the
point OF hill and looked across the
land Of the Huns for quite a while
II was my first trip up so close. 30
that added few thrills TO the trip.

some sons to be proud OF. II sure
