THE PEAVEY WISHES
EVERY MAN GOOD LUCK
After Six Months of Service this
Last Issue Commpletes
Volume

With this issue the Peavey com.
pletes its task as news bearer for the
men Of the Yaquina Bay District. Over
q period covering more than ak
months 1t has gone out into the woods
camps and tried to keep them in
close touch with each other and with
the Newport headquarters. The first
paper in the Spruce Production Divi-
sion, it is also the last to quit. /
The Peavey extends its sincere
thanks for the aid which the many /
correspondents in the different squad :,
rons have given in the weekly Job of
getting out the paper" Getting news
from the men has been a hard propo- !
sition and every little bit helped. Scat
tered all over Lincoln County, 1t had |
constant difficulty in getting in touch |
with the outlying squadrons and the
efforts which its many assistants gave F,
was invaluable.
If the Peavey has in any way helped
to make the work of Yaquina Bay
District more efficient or the men
happier and more conteated. It has
filled its purpose.

while doing our bit in the mighty con
fiict for Democracy. =

greatly appreciated by all while hi,

To Lieutenant Emil Z. Hurja, re
Gently editor OF Wing-Beams, the sci
vice, weekly of the Puget Sound Dil
trict, The Peavey owes its existanc,
The idea Of a paper was conceive

saw the light OF day. 1t was the frs
publication issued by any branch {

The sincere thanks of the editC
are extended to all officers OF the Di
trict for their whole.hearted cooper
ton at all times, TO the men for the
financial support as well as man
excellent contributions to the column
OF the paper; and TO Mr.. F. n. Ha
den Of Toledo whose kindly essistant
and vast store OF patience, made
possible to publish the paper on sch
dule time each week.
The men of the Yaquina Bay ID
trict wish to thank all the many frien

ant times they have enjoyed hcr
Newport and Toledo have both shoy
the Spruce Production men the typic
coast hospitality. And the SUNNI
