MIR. BUTLER
Many Thanks!

On last Tuesday | received word
that | had been assigned as Club
Director to pen the new uSO
work IN Omaha, Nebraska. Be
cause of the short period of time
which | have had to make the
change and because | did not have
sufficient time to talk to my
my many friends to thank them
personally for their cooperation
in the development Of the Ninth
Street USO Club, | take this
means therefore of expressing my
thanks. | can safely say there is
no more loyal group Of citizens,
no more cooperative group of
individuals than can be found in
Little Rock. Whatever has been
done in the way Of program at
the Ninth Street USO Club has
been through your cooperation
and it Is through this cooperation
which YOU have given in the past
and which | know you will con-
tinue to give in the future. which
/. will enable Ninth Street US0
Club to climb to greater heights.
With this thought in mind, |
wish again to say thank you and
pray that Gods richest blessings
shall rest upon you and yours
during the Holiday Season and
throughout the New Year.
Again many thanks.
John r. Butler.

Dear Sir;
I should like to take this oppor-
tunity to thank you and these OF
your staff for the adequate and
efficient manner in which your pub
lication has kept me informed dur
ing the three years I have been in
the army During this time, and
especially while I was in the Officer
Candidate School, my father has
been sending me The International
and it has served as a comforting
and satisfactory link with home
At present I am at Fort Benning,
Georgia, awaiting assignment, and
I thought I could take this oppor-
tunity to put on paper the gratitude
I have felt for your newspaper work
since 1 have entered the armed
forces,
Sincerely yours.

Dear Sir:
I've planned on writing before
but this is the first opportunity
really have had. I have been trav
cling and moving around SO much
that it has been impossible until
now.
When I first arrived at Fort Mac
Arthur I really had no idea what
wanted to get into. 1t seems as
though sthey planned little ahead
Of me and decided almost before I
had a say so. They classified me
as a potential cadet and LIDO mean
potential because of the number of
tests I had to take and the training
required before I get to claSsifica-
ton.
We took the regular army tests at
the fort and from them they deter
mined that all physically and men
tally qualified would be put together
until they had enough for one ship
ment. After staying there for a
little over two weeks Eve already
thought we were forgotten mem
they shipped us to Buckley Field.
incidentally, this is the first ship
ment of potential cadets sent here
Everything here was in a mess and
they had the few troubles encoun-
tered whenever they change over
from regular school to a reception
pool We finally received all the
required tests, both mental and
physical, and now can safely say
that after four more weeks of basic
training (Which I had over a year
ago. I'll be sent to college and thus
move on to the far away goal as a
cadet. I think I'll be going to the
classification center at about the
same time as Craig, Jr.
This is one of the best, if not the
best field, 1 have ever been in. We
have here all the comforts of civil
ian life, which I didn't quite get
used to while I was at home. Our
Enlisted Mems Service Club is about
as large as the high school gym and
has library larger and better

equipped than the one at home. I'm
net trying to belittle the one there,
lust using it as a comparison.
We have dances, shows, etc,
every night of the week. They have
a guest house where friends or rela-
tives can spend three days at a
time free of charge, which makes
it convenient for the soldiers, as
living conditions in Denver are as
had as in other large cities.
I received The International for
the first time this week and I'll as
sure you I even read the adver-
tisements and legal notices twice.
They tell me that there is Villa
bov from Nogales here, but I
haven't been able to locate him. 1
met one Soto boy here and he told
me he was from there. The best
surprise I have received was the
other day I was walking toward the
ORDERLY room when I heard some
bodv call my name. I turned, and
here was a guy that had been with
me through the glider program. we
had been in the same squadron and
the same barracks all the way
through. He had just arrived here
for the same training hope to re-
ceive.
This is all have to say for the
present. I'll write occasionally to
let you know how I progress.

Mr.. Craig Pottinger,
Dean Sir:
Writing you these few lines to say
hello through you to my brothers
and buddies in the service and last
but not least to my friends who are
still in Nogales.
I am Antonio, number three CT
the five Villanuevas in the service.
I am certainly proud of my mother
and brothers. Two of my brothers
are now overseas; Raul who is in
England with the Air Force and
Alonzo who is in New Guinea with
Company So.
Last night while reading the No
gales International I came across
the, letter written by Corporal Ed
die Martinez of Nogales. I am
sorry to say don't remember him,
but the other undersigned men I
am proud to say were in Co. g..
long before the war. served over
five years in Co. g 49, - before joining
the Regular Army in 1910. I always
knew that the Nogales company
was tops as compared with the
other National Guard companies OF
the nation before the war and now
I'll be willing to bet that the No
gales boys can hold their own
against the best company the Ger
mans or Japs can throw at us and
it wouldn't surprise me one bit IL
our men cleaned them up. I know
that sure would hate to be Ger
man or worst a Jap and have to
fight against the Nogalians. Writ
ing about the Nogales boys brings
back memories of the swell pre-war
days and hope that soon we shall
all be back again to continue where
we left off.
Maybe some of my buddies might
want to know as to my whereabouts.
