great trouble.
They have been assigned to quar-
tiers, and some of the boys had a hard
time sleeping in the hammocks. They
got along alright, however, despite
the fact that several of the boys fell
out. The majority spent the night in
solid comfort and at "two bells the
Jimmy-legs was found to be still on
the job" They send their best re-
CARDS to all their friends and state
that they will keep The Pioneer post

cruise, especially after they get under
way. They will visit Chicago for five
days during the Pageant of Progress
and the boys arc looking forward to
that visit. Carlton Crothers has been
selected as the news reporter for the
unit, according to the message re-
ceived today.

and confectionery store was broken
open, and the safe, which was in the
front room, was wheeled back into
the poolroom, where the burglars
broke it open.

the store of Void & Olson, close to
the Christianson store, and took a
number of watches and some papers.
