Where Do They Go From
Here?

The Herald goes ont each week
to many soldiers and sailors ad-
dressed "Care the Post Master,
New York" or some other sea-
port. With the constant move
ment and shifting of the men,
we wonder if these papers final
ly catch up with those for whom
they are intended. There are
many, many people back in the
old county who would be pleas
ed to hear something from old
friends in the armed forces. We
would be glad to have all these
soldiers and sailors drop the
Herald a letter for publication to
let friends back home know how
they are doing. Sit down and
write when you read this so that
all your friends may hear from
you.
