items from your home town mean
to you until you get your home
town paper. 1t keeps you in touch
with your friends.
Briefly. / am here as an aviation
student at Hastings College. Hast
ings. Nebraska. incidentally, this
is the college and home town of
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Taylor, prin-
cipal of G. u. II. 81 Ny flight

military drill as daily physical
training. We start on flying, Mon
day.
"At present there are about 20
fellows from Arizona here at the
school. Many are from the Uni
versity OF Arizona.
I'VE find this a different climate
from Arizona, which we miss very
much-trees, green grass, two
story houses, a lot of rain and, no
desert-are different, but we still
can enjoy ourselves. OF course all
of us are anxious to get our train
ing over and get into the fight. We
have friends to avenge.
"In closing, | would like to wish
all my friends happiness. If they
buy the bonds we will fly the
planes. We find that so percent Of
the Arizona boys here take $18.75
out of each $50 pay check to buy
bonds"
