Reached the Editors Desk or Ears
This Week.

We are in receipt of copy of Vol.
1 No. 1 of "The Wright Idea,"
bright, snappy little four-page news
paper, published weekly by the per-
sonnel of Wilbur Wright Aviation
Field, Fairfield, Ohio. Lieut.. James
H. Carr is the editor, and our own
Mr.. C. M. Sims, at present Y. M. G.
A. secretary at Wright Field, is one of
the associate editors. We note on
glancing through the paper that Mr..
Sims is very much on the job in the
musical line, and we apprehend that
he is thoroughly enjoying himself
when he is leading that chorus of g.
900 of Americas finest and best. 1t.
Col. Thomas Duncan A. S. S. c., for
merly field executive officer at Kelly
Field, Texas, has recently been ap-
pointed commanding officer of this
field
To Camp Hancock
Claud Marks finished his eight
weeks course with the training de-
tachment at Toledo University and
with II other members of his class
started Saturday morning for Camp
Hancock, Ga. Claud's intensive train
ing has fitted him for expert and
speedy repair work on auto trucks.
How long the boys will be held at
Camp Hancock is of course not known.
Other men from this vicinity have
gone to this same camp, so Claud will
likely see some familiar faces away
down South in Dixie.
Safe Across
Word is being received by friends
and relatives of the safe arrival over
seas of many of our boys. Among
those who are now known to be with
the Stars and Stripes across the seas
are Orville Delong, Charles Garman,
Paul Barkman; and in fact it is gen.
orally known that the 147th, former
ly at Camp Sheridan, Montgomery,
Ala, are now in France. The 147th
includes all of what was formerly the
Sixth Ohio National Guards.
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Bissonnette
have sent US copy of the first, letter
from Robert, which wespublish here

Somewhere, June, 1918.
Dear Mother, Dad and All:

Expeditionary Forces mail is cen
sored now and l can't tell you where
! I am, how l got here, or where I
am going.

i It will be relief to many who are
anxious about the boys "Overtheren
to know where their soldiers are, and
J, now that the restrictions are removed
! the boys will be permitted to tell
where they are located. "Fritzie'
has found out to his sorrow where
our American lads are; he is quite
: likely to find them at home every
time he calls, and each time he will
; find few more than he found the
last time, and all of them very much
on the job. Pretty soon they viii
/ begin to return Fritzie's calls anc
they will not neglect to leave theil
: cards when they do; and Still latel
< on there is likely to be a big socia
I event, sort of family reunion; but
4 while "Hans" and "Fritz" may be in
S vited, Kaiser Bill and the rest of hi,
band of Brave? y baby killers won
: be present.
e Boston Kimerer is at Nevers
o France; Clement Standish at Lemoge
n the same country. One by one the.
t will let us know their location, ant
y tell US how they like it.
