ways, should persuade many Water burians of the usefulness of their contributions in the drive for funds currently being conducted by the local chapter.
 According to the Waterbury boy who sent the letter, the Red Cross provides toilet kits, smokes and stationery for the boys who are hos- pitalized, maintains letter writing and reading services for those too sick to do these things for them. selves. It also furnishes books and magazines, and entertainment to convalescents, and money and ad- vice to those boys who need them. All in all' he concludes "the Red Cross is doing good job here and everywhere. They deserve all the help that people can give them" The letter reads as follows:
 Fourth Evacuation Hospital,
 Fort 'DevenS, Massachusetts,
 November 21, 194l. My dear Mother:
 Received your letter in this mornings mail, and was greatly interested to hear about your Red Cross activities. It all sounds grand the way you write about 1t, and l am greatly pleased at the enthusiasm you show for that field. However here ata the fort we also have pretty darn good Red Cross organization. I'll tell you some of the things they do here.
 Being in the medical depart mer1t, and just recently being a patient in the hospital some thirty-five days have had ample opportunity to see them in action, and believe me they make the life a lot easier than 1t would be with out them.
 For fellows that are rushed from the field into the hospital, they have toilet kits, and all that is needed to keep up appearances. For those who are redlined in their pay the Red Cross furnishes stationery, smokes, and little odds and ends. They even mail letters for those who do not have the necessary stamps.
 They have a regular bed service for those who are too illsto leave their respective wards-they bring books, magazines, and all right to your bedside. Some fellows are unable to read or write, because of injuries to eyes or arms, as they have a letter writing service and also a reading service. Without these little things to break up the monotony the boys would go crazy as hospital is not considered fun and when 1t is an army hosp.- tai far from home, well you can imagine just what it is like.
 For the convaleScent patients they have entertainment every night. Some program is on sched- ule all the time and they do bring a lot of joy. There is us. ually a mixture of local, amateur and professional talent. Chess. checkers, ping-pong and a good many other games are encouraged by the Red Cross, who furnish the necessary equipment.
 Every soldier benefits from the Red Cross at one time or another. If fellow needs money for trans portation in an emergency he al- ways knows where to go. If he wants friend to discuss 8 prob lem with he knows where to find one. If he needs help in any way he has only to ask and he has someone who will go to bat for him. All in all the Red Cross is doing a good job here and every where, they deserve all the help that people can give them"
