which allows us to make one pur-
chase every two weeks. The food is
pretty good. but sometimes monoto-
nous. If you can't buy SPAN there,
the reason is that every soldier eats
it at least once day.
We lead a pretty monotonous life
here. Up every morning at o'clock,
breakfast and police of quarters,
then to work. With time out for
lunch, we work until 6 o'clock at
night. Then supper and clean up.
If YOU have the energy left. you can
get a pass to 60 into town. about
half or three quarters of an hour.
You must be back in camp by 9
pm. and there is very little to do
in town except drink bad wine or
beer.
There Is blackout after dark, ex-
cept for necessary installations.
Vehicles use shielded headlamps,
and driving Is q nuisance. At this
time OF year II Is still light at 8
o'clock, I have been doing a great
deal OF studying in the evening after
