Private Boldine, in G 6, AFRTC,
writes that "the armored division is
the next highest in the army. The
highest is the air corps. The weather
here is very hot and sticky. Give me
good old Minnesota best state in
the Union. I sure hate to think of the
weather Well have here in July and

"Our basic training is about over, and
I can honestly say that they succeed
ed in making soldiers out of us.
Last week we succeeded in having
a brother reunion.
Rudy came from a hospital in West
Virginia to visit Vic and me. It was
wonderful to see him again after sit
ting on edge so long. He told us how
he got wounded and some of his ex-
periences. Gle was wounded in North
Africa late last year, the first of four
ElyiteS wounded there. This is the
first word coming to The Miner that
he was back in this country. If john
ME or Vic will send in brother Rudy's
present address, he will once again re-
ceive his paper)
John concluded his letter by stay
ing, "I'm still the same guy who wants
to hear from some of those pretty Ely
girls"
Pvt. v. j. Perushek, who is in CO. F,
43rd Armd. Rgt., II Armd. Div, APO
262, at Camp Campbell, has just been
transferred there from an infantry
unit, and he says that st hope this
outfit can make me just as happy as
the one left. WAS GLAD TO READ
ABOUT THE SUCCESSFUL SECOND
WAR LOAN DRIVE. Hope that the
people of the Ely area, as well as the
rest of the U. S., keep up the good
work. My desire now is that the
armed forces continue the fine show
ing on the field and march on to an
early victory"

Word also comes from Pvt. T. c..
Leroy at Camp Campbell that "Pri-
vate Kaplan is back from the hos
pital and all the boys are shipshape
and none the worse for the rough
basic training they just completed.
We all agree on one thing: Keep the
paper coming"
Writing from his new station, Camp
Shelby, Miss, Pvt. VIM. H. Gilman,
Ry. Sch. Br. No. T. c., says:
"This is very large camp, and I'm
not sure as yet of the correct number
of men here. It's well over 100000, I
believe. Only a small part of it is
concerned with the railway unit I am
in. Most of our officers and instruc-
tors were taken directly out of civil
ian business, so they are all old hands
at this branch of the transportation
corps.

New Orleans. It was a rather short
toughening up period, but it really did
