Don't let anybody tell you that smoK-
ing Is hard on soldiers morals. The
folks that talk foolish Ike that never
were soldiers"
This Is a quotation from a card sent
soldier. Sergeant NJ, C. Borland Of Com
many X, 1e3d Infantry He has a good
word for the fund, which he utters
blunty:
1.-THE Sun Tobacco Fund has been the
soldiers best friend and everybody over
here knows H."
Private II. &. Brinker of Machine
Road Construction knows what Null
tum in parvo" means. for he manages
10 put a lot Of expression in the follow
ing post card written after July goth:
Good American smokes! Bully SUN!
The Atlantic doesn't seem as big as
usual after receiving your parcel"
In the latest soldiers mail received to
date there are many gems of gratitude,
and this Is surprising when one con-
siders that the writer's were. many OF
them. in the thick OF the battles Of
chateau Thierry. Seringes. and all the
engagements before the cath OF July in
which American soldiers did just what
we said they'd do" put the Heinies on
the run and after a heated action and
a long chase 1t Is not precisely the time
to stop and pick words.
II has occurred to the fund that line
or two taken from such post cards will
be interesting. These lines, forming
sort OF crude epic Of battle, would be
thrilling II all of US who read them
could know that the soldier authors
penned or penciled their thanks to The
SvN donors as they we're stopping to
take breath.

they wore supplied with SUN smokes you
would reNlize and feel repaid for your
