necessary to eat from mess kits
except during maneuvers.
I know that you all are very in
terested in the health of your loved
ones. Every day at 7:30 a. m. the
army has what is called sick call.
At this time each man that has
anything wrong with him reports
to his LIST Sgt, and then Is taken
over to the Regimental Dispensary
where our own doctors look over
the man and either mark him for
duty or send him to the hospital.
I want to make it plain that be-
cause a man is sent to the hospital
it does not mean that he is deathly
sick. 1t means that the doctor
feels that they can be taken care
of there and be back to duty SOON
err than trying to let them get well
by themselves in their tents. In
the army you are sent to the hos
pital with the slightest cold or sick
ness while in private life one Is
very sick before he goes to the
hospital. We will notify any of
you parents of the critical sickness
of any of your boys. That is one
of the duties of the Commanding
Officer, and you can rest assured
that Col. Carter will do this very
thing.
All men go to their churches or
to church at the camp. Both Cath
Ollie and Protestant services are
held. Chaplains of both churches
are on duty at all times. Their
duty also calls on them to provide
entertainment for the boys.
Shows and dances are provided
for the men. Trips to the ocean
and other points of interest are
provided for the men every week
end. These trips are under the
supervision of officers, and in this
way you can rest assured that they
will see a lot of the country.
In closing let me ask you to write
to your boys. They are not home
sick, but they do like letters from
their Dads and Mothers and sweet
hearts. Also little presents are al
ways appreciated by the boys.
The 217th is doing the best job
that we know how, and if you wish
to know anything about Camp
Ham, am sure that you can con-
tact any of the officers of the 217th
and they will send you the infor-
nation that you desire.
