Dear Folks at Home
This has been a long, hot day for
me. Got up at six o'clock, had "chow"
at seven, and muster was held at
eight. Several of the boys had on
dirty clothes, so the entire company
was ordered to report at camp Paul
Jones for detail work. If just one
has on dirty clothes the entire COM
pany has to do penalty for it.
As luck would have it the command
er had received orders to report some
where and so we did not have to go.

Uncle Burt or Aunt Alice would be in.
At nine o'clock the Catholics were
called for their religious service. The
Knights Of Columbus have a large
tent near the y. NJ. c. A, very nicely
fitted out for the amusement Of the
boys who go there. Everyone is well
come but there are not so many go
there as to the \. NJ. c. a. The latter
is surely a dandy place. The first
night we were here the commander
would not let us 90 down there be-
cause some of the boys had on dirty
clothes.
The next night nearly an of us
went there to a concert given by
three fair maidens of the city of Wau-

Time Well Spent

In the Camp Pike Notes sent out
by Erwin Funk last week the following
paragraph appeared. and should be the
cause of considerable qualification to
the mothers who have sons in military
training camps:
Don't get the notion in your head
that time spent in the army camp. either
at Camp Pike or any other camp. Is time
wasted. Here is the way one soldier
sees it: These have been the best two
months of my life. Doing job right
is becoming second nature to US in
camp. We must keep our kits and
utensils Just so or we hear from our
officers Cleanliness ia compulsory.
Peace will return millions of men with
whom sanitary living is a passion.

clean thinking will surely stick with
