On passing though the newly
dredged bayou and canal and arriv-
ing at the eastern end of the work,
the view of the little lake through
the woods at Lake Bridge so attract
ed the visitors that it was decided
to make a park and picnic ground
at this point. Fishing is to be had
in the lake. A club house of rustic
architecture will be built here as a
meeting place for the people of the
neighboring parishes, and for the
convenience of tourists passing over
the great southern highway.
The new link will connect on the
west, with the Avoca road into Nor
gan City, and on the East with the
Bayou Black road to Houma, and on
to New Orleans. The Bayou Black
project is expected to be under way
within short time now, as the po-
lice jury of Terrebonne is expected
to formally create the road district
including this link at its meeting
this week and this done, bonds will
be issued and the work started, as
quickly as possible.
The decision of Federal and State
highway engineers to route the
Southern National Highway directly
through Houma has given great i'm
petus to the good roads movement in
this section, at the present time, and
several highway projects have been
started of late, which, when complet-
ed, will place Terrebonne among the
leaders of southern parishes in the
matter of good, twelve-month high
ways.--N. O. States.

June by U. S. Base Hospital No. 10
In August by U. s. Base Hospita
No. 115. In September by U. S.
Base Hspital No. 76. Also in Angus,
hospitals trains No 43 dropped il
| and were assigned to No. 10. Cas-
uals dropped in all aong, l beine
one.
To illustrate Of the center one Of
the buildings used as a hospital, the
Building Base 115 alone is large,
than the Bollevu Hospital, New
! York City, the largest civil hospital
in America.
The center laboratory is the finest
and best equipped laboratory in the
American Expedition Forces, under
the direction of Capt. Maitland and
his staff, excellent work is being ac.
complished in this fled.
There are other Organizations at
tached to the Vichy Hospital center
which chould be mentioned, they are
the bakery, laundry, disinfectant
plant and the American Red Cross.
Two bakeries are at present ope-
rating three ovens in a modern and
sanitary shop with maximum ca
pacity Of 5000 loaves daily.
Two Fresh steam laundries along
with two of our own are doing all
laundry work.
A modern disenfecting and steri-
lizing plant is in constant operation.
All patients, clothing, blankets, and
matresse are sent here. This goes
tough on "Cooties."
The Red Cross well need not say
anything about that for there is
enough said when you say "Red
Cross" everybody already knows
what they are doing.
Well I will have to knock off for
this time, and roll back Of duty. Will
write you later about my place of
duty the "Ceneter Laboratory" some
place.
If you ever get a chance let lit
tie breeze Of the happenings of Nor
gan City blow gently over this way.
