WAITSFIELD
Town Far Exceeded It's Quota in Wa
Stamp Sale.

SLdup oolc.
! The war savings stamp sale in Waits.
| field was one of great satisfaction to
those who we're in charge. Waitsfeld's
quota was Sl4,lS0. Her pledges in the
June campaign amounted to $4,000, Her
final sales were $2l 900, as nearly as can
be calculated at this writing This does
not include the sales to residents OF
Fayston, although many such were made
and also to other non-residents. Some
few did not purchase as they pledged
but they are few and conspicuous, where
as there were those who purchased more
than they pledged to the extent that our
total sales are source of pride.

for every man in the A. f. +. to write to
his dad, you see I'm on the job. ] haven I
heard from any of you folks lately, but
hope you all are well. Do you hear
from Bill often? 1t has been two months
since have seen or heard from him, but
think he is all right. am leaving this
place to-day for somewhere in France, as
we term it, think the last time wrote
you ! was in the hospital and you will
be surprised to learn that is where | am
now, but / have been through hell and
water and they threw shells at me by
the thousand but here | am feeling quite
well, and expect to see you all by Easter
or perhaps before then. | hope you re-
ceived the postcard sent, and tell Mar
garet / have sent her a handkerchief
souvenir from France and / would like
to send more things but the restrictions
are against it, so viii bring a few SOU
venirs to all when come home, OH

hospital and sleep on a feather bed. Why

ways good and we get lots of feed or
chow as we regulars call it. There are

chance | have had to write you for years,
hat hal Not so bad as that, but you
don't know how many days there are in
a month over here. The weather here is
not cold yet, and it is very sunny and
mild to-day. ! imagine it is getting
frosty over there. Well, dad, ] am so
glad / could write you and hope to hear
from you soon.
