used to be that the boards would
not know until the end of the year
whether they would have enough
money. Under the new plan, each
will know at the beginning of the
year just how much is in hand to

not an extra agency of the Presby-

9Cth Division are getting ready to

After nearly four months in billets
in dreamy Rhineland villages the
Texas and Oklahoma National Army
men see the end of their stay on
this side Of the water approaching
rapidly. By the end of June, or
early in July at the latest, nearly all
who do not intend to remain in the
service expect to be in civilian cloth
ing on the streets of their home city
and eating pancakes and apple pie
such as only mother can make in
their own home dining rooms.
In the meantime they are making
the best Of the opportunities offered
during their stay in Germany. With
the exception of short drill periods
to keep them fit at all times, the

post schools established in every
town in the Goth Division area,
where troops are bileted. Here all
sorts of courses are taught, the only
limit being the desires of the men
and the teaching personnel availa-

almost every station, are those in

Chickasha men have also been
able to take advantage OF the 90th
Division highschool, located at Ira

Oh the Moselle river where more
subjects are taught than in the av-
erage city highschool in the United
State. Here it is possible to take
up almost any study that the soldier
desires.
The stay of the Chckasha men in
Germany has been more pleasant
because money has been plentiful.
The soldiers ave paid in francs.
When these are changed to marks
at the prevailing rate Of exchange
the soldier receives exactly two for
one And the coWfortable feature
of this is that the mark, while it has
gone down in rate OF exchange has
gone up and not down in its pur-
