to the morale building work of the Ely
post, Veterans of Foreign Wars.
Saari writes:
81 hereby acknowledge receipt of
The Ely Miner, the local paper which
is doing such a wonderful job in
boosting the morale of all the Ely
boys in service. It is never-failing in
its arrival, wherever we may be.
Weekly we look forward to the day
when we can relax ourselves COM
pletely at ease and absorb all items
with that far away look in our eye.
"Yes, the Veterans of Foreign Wars
are doing a tremendous backstage job
for all the local boys in the service.
Their close relation and written
communications with the men know
are more than appreciated by ALL So,
in behalf of myself and the other
boys located on Sheppard Field, we
extend to you-our heartfelt thanks"
And here's another from Pvt. Leslie
w. Hill, Camp Robinson, Ark:
Gas you (the VIVID former de-
fenlers of our country know, we really

Ark, sends words of appreciation to
the VIEW for enabling him to keep in

vanced School to begin training in

"Thus far, I've seen lot OF Won

"This is what was overheard the

cruits arrived for drill the first thing
after breakfast chow:
LIST Sergeant: (gruffly) Dress,
Right Dress.
Recruit: How can I dress right
on 81 bucks a month";
again thanking all you people for
sending us your paper. I appreciate
the time and work you are all putting
into this great thing for all Of our
buddies"
