This action was based upon an
investigation Of the communitys

tract distribution division OF OPM.
The principal industry at Mead

acquire the copper alloy material

tinue the manufacture OF slide fas-

been forced to lay off s4i men in

ten years.
That trip was worth lot as a
person would take quite chance
driving in there by himself.
There are only two roads into
Death Valley, the one we took and
another through Nevada. Lot OF
the other boys sure would have
liked to made the trip. Its moth
ing for the temperature to get UP
to $50 or 40 in there. 1t feels
just like an oven but your face
stays dry-its such a dry heat.
The funny part Of this desert
is that it may rain quite often. We
had quite a shower today, but an
hour or so later it's just as hot
and dusty as ever. AS many
snakes as there are out here, they
don't come out during the day
much. They come out at night
when its cooler.
We are leaving for Washington
the third of August as much as we
know now. I imagine the trip
will take us nearly a week one
way. I may get a chance to see
Sholz and Dold. Fort Lewis is
close to Tacoma.
