only for weekends. In the several
cities that I stopped, found the
citizens as whole were very friendly
to our boys and most willing to do all
they could to entertain them. At Fort
Francis E. Warren where my son. Bill,
is stationed, the USO had taken over
a large three story building which was
under the management of an exper-
fenced man. Here facilities of various
kinds were offered to our boys, such as
a cafe, dancing, games, pool, reading,
writing room. All of this was free
with exception of the cafe and pool
rooms. AS girl-hostess for the boys
on the dance night, novel plan was
introduced. They had some two hun
dred and fifty young ladies from the
city registered there who acted as
hostesses or girl friends for the boys.
Each one of these girls had to be
recommended by two prominent per-
sons in town before she could be adj
mitted. No drinking was permitted.
"The beautiful city of Walla Walla,
Washington, where my son, Bob, was
located made a very special effort to
entertain our soldier boys. At New
Years there were more invitations ex-
tended to the boys for entertainment
than was needed. Every place went
there I was told how much they en-
joyed our soldier boys and how willing
they were to do things for them.
"As for religious services, there are
the army chaplains, both Protestant
and Catholic. In each camp they
have built chapels, which are really
beautiful, well equipped, even to Ham,
mond organs. In this particular case,
could not see where the army encour-

Department of Conservation inves-
LEGATIONS to determine whether raw
fur dealers have kept records as re-
quired in new state law today have
resulted in more than so convictions,
it was announced by E. r. Stark

The law requires that all raw fur
dealers keep accurate records of all
furs bought or sold by them, from
whom purchased and to whom sold,
