A Service Feature for Service Men

From orc Charles E. Hunter,
ACOCTS, Squadron "O", Dor
chester Hotel, Miami Beach,
Florida. To his mother, Mrs.
Ethel Hunter, III POtrerO Ave-,
NOgaleS, Arizona.
I imagine that you are wondering
what I am doing here in Miami.
1 finished at Albuquerque on the
10th and was sent here to Air Corps
Administration Officers School to
learn air corps ground organization.
1t is a seven week course involving
such things as supply, personnel
. etc.
I am in the Public Relations
School, and because I can speak
Spanish will probably be sent to
South America when I complete the
course.
This was an excellent break for
nc to get OF come here as I will
learn a lot about army organiza-
lion, make good contacts, and have
a chance to rise i'll rank much more
rapidly than flying officers can.
A test was given at albuquerque
to determine who should be sent.

From Sgt. M. S. Valdez, Co. "a, ="
158th Infantry, Fort Clayton,
Canal Zone. To Craig Pottinger,
NOgaleS International.

I have just finished reading The
international and read the Post
Exchange" I might state now that
most of us fellows down here in
Panama read The International
every time we get hold Of one-it
is pretty hard to get one now. but
Lou Price used to get one every
once in while, which was given to
him by Honky Cornwall.
The old Co. "a which Nogales
used to know has dwindled down to
a mere 40 men from Nogales The
rest were either discharged last
September or have been transferred
to other units here in Panama.
BY what I read in the paper, it
seems that the ;''Fiesta de las
Flores" was big success. Just
now Eddie Marian was remembering
how he was in Nogales for the last
fiesta, and the swell time he had
"cerveza, hotana, y guitarros.'
Perhaps you Nogalians would be
interested to know what we do in
our spare time. First you've got to
have sCme dough, mix it up with
clean clothes, and then if you are
lucky to catch "chiva" (bus, not
a goat) you are all set.
We go down to Panama City,
which as you know is the cross roads
of the world.
We make the rounds to sc1ne
night clubs, see a floor show and
you are ready to come home.
Most of the girls down here are a
little on the dark side. but some Of
the fellows say that by the time you
are ready. to go home they are
blondes. Naturally, I have never
been in that condition so can't
vouch for that story.
Last month we were stationed on
! the Atlantic side, and there is where
we ran across Honky Cornwall and
his wife Marstel It was swell meet
ing somebody from home down here.
Lou Price and I went to their home
many times and put on Q, real good
gab session remembering Nogales
and the people
Because OF the fact that it is quite
warm down here We have done plen-
ty of swimming and all of us are
getting mighty dark
Well, Mr. Pottinger, in closing my
letter please give my regards to all
ny friends, especially my former
be ;, Mr.. Phillips; also to Don
Smith and Clara Phillips, and to
you ell my best wishes and good
luck" "Hasta la vista
Sincerely
SGT, NOSE VALDEZ.
P.S.-We would like to hear from
our friends, especially from the
fairer sex, as a letter is something
important to the boys in the service.

They were inside now, a part of
the warmth and music and clamor
and delicious odorS from the chat

mirror, in a secluded %alcove, to
smooth her hair. E~errazano went
to August brakes side. Larry, still
looking childishly sulky, joined

TO marry her anyway"
Annette felt her heart humping in
her throat. Although she herself
wondered why Larry had married
her, she didn't want others to be
puzzled Especially not Walt. And
She had to know what explanation
Larry was going to give. Even if 1t
hurt.
Don I you remember" he asked
his friend, when We were kids on
the wrong side of the tracks?'
That's a crazy question. Of
course l do I'M still there. But
what has that to do
I'VE Yer picking up coal" Larry
persisted, when a train with a

and a girl looked out the window.

a note of comprehension crept
into Walters voice, Eyes, l do

We're dirty-nosed brats, but even at
that age we elected her the most
beautiful girl i'll the world
Larry reminded, Yes, and you
said when you grew up you We're
going to marry a girl who looked
just like her"
You said the same thing
Yes, and ! did it. She hasn't any
money and certainly no private car.
But Walt. she is it, l knew that
when l saw her in my dressing
room mirror. You just didn't have
your eyes open, pal, Probably

She wouldn't have had me-
Walter said glumly.
You didn't try-thank God!'
The doctor took another slant,

black dinner dress, was ladling her
connections onto silver = banded

Verrazano and n of the musi-

against the satin-padded headboard
