enemy that will look good to the

dress teachers meeting at Ma

where she will make her home.
It was with sorrow we learned OF
the death of our friend, Cyd McIn-
turf, Penn township.
AS we write this we have our
socks packed ready for the take
off for Sandusky. 1t has been so
long since we travelled afar alone,
that we suppose we acted nervous,
anyway Ruby decided she would
come as far as South GAINESVILLE
with us Saturday night Leaving
the Port at TAO p. M, we came by
rail to Fair Oaks. Conductor Os-
borne was very nice lighting us up
the path onto the pike, where we
missed the bus, so we walked to the
home of our daughter, Mrs. T. N.
Shook. and family Before we got
there we decided somebody had put
a rock in one of the aforementioned
socks. In the early morn we caught
the South GAINESVILLE bus to the
terminal Leaving there at 9 for
change at Jacksontown, then on to
Newark, where we tried to locate
Vince Lawrence. Perhaps he was at
church, anyway we did not find
him. The agent said he knew the
gentleman and would deliver a
message Monday From Newark we
had a through bus arriving at San
dusky at p m We found the
Milligans O. k. On the trip we
travelled over much new land to us.
| We found but little corn husked
! Fields that had been properly work
! ed are good. We noticed quite a
bit of state highway work going on.
| Of course there can be no politics
! connected. 1t seemed the nearer
we got to Sandusky the better the
! buildings and the better the farms
are kept. Made us think of Harley
and Bess Mercer, and the way they
keep their property at Stockport
The buses did a big business from
! Newark on We found many sol
diers here Sunday where we arriv-
ed, having come in from Camp Per-
ry, "a miles away. Monday a. m

We found the grounds are five miles
square. We had no trouble to gel
in, our son-in-law Harold Milligar
was along with badge. Everyone was
very nice to us. At the personnel
office we filled out an application
which is your pedigree, biography
and so on They seemed to be able
to tell we had been born by the
looks of us. In the physical test
you are weighed, measured, Xray
ed (heart and lungs) test of urine
asked about parents, if dead, cause
of death. age and SO on. Bring
your social security card. We found
our blood pressure was up a mite.
Perhaps it was caused by the
change to the larger city. While
we won't tell you anything that will
help Hitler in coming issues, we
hope to be able to tell of the won
ders of the plant and of the city
!. This is one city that won't have tc
move buildings back to accommo-
date the increased traffic. If you
want a job come up. They hire
every week day.
1t seems that everybody is mad
at somebody. Even our good friend

firm that he loves the Japs and
! Germans.
