Bernard Slogan Says He Hopes
Seaman 'Sinky' Prosen
Lives Up to Name.

You servicemen who envy the othe

Waco, Texas, has changed station:
eight times and has been in as many
different types of service. Here's what
he says:
my conclusion is that no one
has a bed of roses. The morale is
good i'm every branch of the service"
Slogan writes:
81 am writing to give you my eighth
change of station since I joined the
army My training has been quite
extensive in the different branches OF
service.
I'm the infantry on the line

the motor squad, and machine gum
ner During this time I took part in
the Washington and Huter Ligget
maneuvers.
when war broke out I was put out
on the Pacific Coast Patrol. From
there I was transferred to the 4th
Army and Western Defense Com
mand where I learned quite a bit
about Army Administration. Five
months of this proved to be too bor-
ing, so I applied for flying cadet
training. In the meantime the new
glider training program came up with
an opportunity for me to get in with
out waiting, so I went in for it.
ST graduated from the basic school
week ago in Goodland, Kansas, and
am now at the Advanced School here
in Waco. 1t turned out to be a very
interesting course and I'm glad to be
in this outfit.
"I've learned one important thing.
I believe every branch of service has
its good points as well as some rough
ones In the infantry the foot soldiers
envy the artillery to a certain extent,
because they believe they ride all of
the time. The artillery may envy the
air corps because they seem to have
cleaner work. And so it goes. My
conclusions are that no one has a
bed of roses and that the morale of
all of the soldiers is just as good in
each branch of the service and we
all complain just as much. We all
realize we have certain mission to
perform and each branch must CO.

soldiers.

All vehicle operators in the country

traitor Leon Henderson to intensity
their efforts to save tires by driving
less and driving carefully. Such act

the dwindling supply of rubber for

per cent longer is project studied
by the consumer division of the Office
of Price Administration.
The division says that the national
bureau of standards finds that add
ing three to five per cent more oil
to sole leather will give his shoes the

wear normally caused by dampness or
wet leather is considerably reduced
when the larger amount of oil is used.

Do you need some cash? Would you
like to pay off old bills as part OF
your wartime financial program? This
advertisement tells about a simple plan
which is helping many men and women
with their present day money problems.
Suppose you need 500 for an emer-

the money in a simple transaction.
Then you may repay on regular
monthly payment plan. At the end
of a definite time you are entirely In

comes a personal debt paying program.
The cost of this service is reason
able. Suppose you borrow 500 and
repay in six monthly instruments OF

cost of your loan is just Sl0.88. A $50

This service has been specially de-

they hate to ask friends to sign notes.

Such things as repair, maintenance,
