GIVE THEM A LIFT
(Boston Post)

(Boston Post)
 The story of how a sailor collapsed in a snowdrift in Norwood after attempting to hike from Boston to Providence is Q somewhat grim re- hinder that these service men trying to reach their homes for Christmas in many cases are going to need a bit of @ lift to accomplish their desire.
 Don't forget, you drivers, that Yuletide weather is frequently s"v- ere and the way home in wartime is frequently made difficult by the lack of transportation. Don't let service men freeze on our roads; give them a lift. Some mother will thank you fer 1t.

Dear Mr.. Reed,

Dear Mr.. Reed,
The life of soldier down under.
Dirty equipment punishment
Well Mr.. Reed do you want
job cotton picking? Just join the
army. Well every time one of
us boys gets jagged for dirty
equipment, no difference who it
is, whether it's a sergeant, corporal
or private or anybody else a
picking cotton we 60 on Sunday
afternoons. I haven't been there
yet, but expect to be soon.
Standing at my guard post this
afternoon, could see lots of cot
ton pickers. Even our captain
was out in that cotton field a.
picking just like private. We
had a major inspection yesterday
and did we all ever get gigged?
One fellow got gigged for drink
ing the water out of his canteen
before inspection was over, an
other because they found a speck
of dirt with a magnifying glass
on his shoes, that's the way it
went, one after another until we
get that cotton picked, and then
they will find some other kind of
- list detail.
Soldiers laundry
A soldiers laundry is quite a
problem, but I solved my laundry
problem myself. I've done all
my own laundry since I've been
in the army and this is how it
works. I got some odds and ends
of old boards and two-by-fours, a
couple of pieces of rusty pipe and
elbows and an 8-gallon can and a
2O-gallon used oil drum. Well
some of you think I must turn out
some awful looking laundry. Well
that's where I fool you all. The
old boards and two-by-fours are
used for tower and also made
propeller out of it to be driven
by the wind for power for my

Soldiers understand hardships-
Dear overworked people at home:
It is nice to hear from you af-
ter such a long period of time, but
it is unpleasant to learn of your
changed condition of living, which
/ can readily understand from the
change of my own conditions.
It is too bad that you are linn
tied in the use of your automobile.
/ know how it is to walk through
miles and miles of swamp and
jungle. So / understand.
It is too bad to have your
choice of food limited. / have ex-
perienced this, too, except there is
no choice here. So / understand.
It is too baw that Willie has to
work so many hours day at the
defense plant. / have to work
night as well as day at our de-
tense plant. So I understand.
1t is too bad that Willie has to
such little time for amusements,
/ am deprived of amusements, too,
SO understand.
It is too bad that you have to
wait in the rain for transorta-
ton. I have to wait in the rain
on post and my transportation
and destination is uncertain, too,

them asked me out to dinner, and
to see real Arab home. He said
the house was about 500 years
old and really Arabic. He told me
he would show me every bit of
the house and also / could see his
six wives. I don't know just how
much of a compliment that is,
because it is forbidden to see a
Mohammedan woman. He offered
something to me that he wouldn't
allow his neighbor, because the
women are very seldom, if ever,
seen. They all asked me to come
back in ten days when the Karen
is over. Chat is the month of
September; they do not eat, drink,
smoke or anything during day
light0 After Karen they have
three night of feasting and the
women also come out in public
with their hands, feet and ankles
painted a bright red. I don't
know the story behind the red
paint. They barbecue sheep, goats,
beef, and young camels and have
everything there is to eat ex-
cept pork which they never eat.
Boy! sure would love to be there.
Of an evening we would 60
through town. The first night !
was a little afraid to bump my
way through hundreds of Arabs.
They are very mean looking peo-
pie. They are very silent. Talk
but little, and their eyes look
right on through you. But the
next night I pushed right on thru
them with perfect confidence.
That doesn't hold true with the
camels though, if you don't know
them you sure don't want to
push one around. A mules kick
is just a love pat beside what a
camel can do. They can also cut
your head three quarters of the
way off at one bite and they say
they are so quick you can't dodge
out of their way. / could have
rented one to ride for half day
for 80 cents but l didn't have

washer, the rusty pipe and elbows
for drive shaft, broom handle
for plunger handle and the one
gallon can for the plunger itself,
the 20-gallon oil drum for the
wash tub. 1t really brings these
CT clothes out clean, of course we
buy our own Rinse white soap,
and few bottles of blueing to
help those white under things out,
but we put out a whittier laundry
than what I've seen hanging out
on some of the lines in my own
ssRinso White. At present three
other boys have stolen my patent
and have made themselves ma

first soldiers clothes this after
noon, and did he ever have bar
racks bay full!

Entertainment 81
We have a couple of shows a
week, once in a while some of the
natives come out to dance with
the boys, but we just as soon they
wouldn't come out. The U.S.O,
puts on some shows but it's always
some cheap affair.
Sports
We play softball once in while,
also some volley ball and horse
shoes, also infantry drill.
PIX or our own little store
This is soldiers lifesaver store
run by one of our own men. When
the chow is bad we buy cookies,
beer, candy, peanuts, also shin
ing equipment. and a few other
soldier needs. It comes in mighty
handy.
Sleeping quarters
Sleeping quarters are alright, as
a soldier doesn't care where he
sleeps. All we get to do is to
crawl under a net to keep the
singing bugs off of you, then we
turn on a flash light and make a
complete search inside of the net
to see if any night bugs crawled
in bed when we crawled in. If
no bugs are found we proceed
to sleep providing the jam session
has quieted down. Well 1 got
one eye closed and the other two
thirds closed when in comes the
corporal Of the guard and says
in very quiet voice it's time to
60 on guard. The corporal of the
guard knows better than to make
a lot of noise waking us up, be-
cause if he does he will go out a
lot faster than he came in. It's
great life, but you always got
to be on the alert to figure way
out of this and that detail.

long as the dirt was from honest
labor I might enter the Mosque
and as long as a stayed on the
carpets I might leave my shoes

school where they teach the kids
to read. There are about 200 of
them in the same room all sitting
cross legged on the floor and
every one of them reading part
of the Koran at the top of their
voice. Well there is nothing I
ever heard that can equal the
noise they make. Also at this
place there is large number Of
Arab women who have no means
of support. They are of all ages
and all single. If a person wants
an Arab wife, the village is will
ing to furnish you one free of
any charge and do the ceremony
too, if you are a Mohammedan.
As a usual thing, you have to buy
an Arab wife. And you never see
her until after the wedding. You
, have to pay her parents for the
trouble of raising her. Here it
is little different, because the
Arabs have taken over some of
the French ways. can't say that
French ways are better. The
French are the most immoral ami
mails on earth. And the real Arab
is very moral and very religious.

Be Quick To Treat
Bronchitis

Chronic bronchitis may develop If
your cough, chest cold, or acute bron-
chitis is not treated and you cannot
afford to take a chance with any medi-
cine less potent than Creomulsion
which goes right to the seat of the
trouble to help loosen and expel germ
laden phlegn and aid nature to
Soothe and heal raw, tender, inf1amed
bronchial mucous membranes.
Creomulsion blends beechwood
creosote by special process with other
time tested medicines for coughs.
It contains no narcotics.
No matter how many medicines
you have tried, tell your druggist to
sell you a bottle of Creomulsion with
the understanding you must like the
way it quickly allays the cough, per-
mitting rest and sleep, or you are to
have your money back. (Adv.)
