things so uniform when on parade,
but it isn't hard when you know
how.

the command (order arms), five
thousand bring their guns from
their shoulders at exactly the same
time, and in the same manner, and
place the butts of them on the
ground Then the flag starts COM

command arms, our guns are snap

with the barrel upward. in a token
of surrender. The officers all salute
the flag until it reaches the ground
and while the bugle plays the re-
treat. 1t is really a sight worth see
ing. Then we march back to our
barracks and eat "chow." We are
through until five o'clock the next
morning.
Yesterday we had drill with gas
masks. We were issued masks and
learned how to use them, which is
very simple. Then they said they
wanted to demonstrate how efficient
the mask was. We put them on and
were taken into room filled with
tear gas, which is harmless, except

Mrs. Miller and l continue to be
roamers and for the present time.
ask you to send the paper care
Standard Oil Company of New Jer-
sey, Charlotte, N. C. Ray, l believe
when l talked with you in your Of.
flee last summer, l told you we had
spent the previous winter in Flor
ida with the thought in mind that
we would visit number of places,
choose the one we liked best and
make it a permanent winter home.
During the past years, our dreams
of Florida and Florida climate dur
ing the winter months were com
parable with late May and June in
Morgan county. 1t may be that We
now have feeling of disappoint-
ment but you know what the old
lady said when she kissed her COW,
SO we have decided to go back to
North Carolina.
However, / do not want to leave
the impression that Florida is not z
nice place to live during the winter
months and especially for people in
the nOTIucIu SldleS, Dut JuoS AZ -
from the past two winters. there is
not enough difference between Flor
ida and eastern North Carolina eli
mate to justify the change.
| believe | told you that Bill
Penrose of Pennsville way had
wished on me the job as chairman
of program committee for the En-
bree reunion which is held each
year on the first Thursday in Aug
ust and if, and when you see Bill,
please say to him that l have not
forgotten my promise and he can
count on me.
BY the way, if you happen to see
Fred King or Joel Bingham you
might say to them that | had the
picture of the wood shed at the OLD
Quaker church enlarged Do not
be disappointed if they do not say
much but they know plenty.-Sln-
cerely yours, Frank B. Miller.
In his younger days Mr. Miller
taught school in this county, later
entering the employ of the Standard
Oil company and was promoted sew
eral times, until when he retired he
was holding one Of the top positions
in North Carolina, of that concern.
He is a brother of Mrs. Riley Price
