Letters to
the Editor
SERVICE MAN SAYS PAPER
is ONE OF FINEST GIFTS
To the Editor:

49,
To the Editor:
1 received my first issue of The
Courier a few days ago. In my
opinion it is one of the best Christ
mas gifts a man in the service can
get. the home town paper. 1 might
say this to those mothers and wives
who are wondering what to send TO
their sons and huSbandS-Send them
a subscription to the local paper.
1t will really be appreciated.
I don't know how conditions are
at home now. but just a few
months ago when 1 vas home peo-
pie seemed to take the war rather
lightly. I've changed my opinion
since coming here. Here in the east
people are really all out for the
wal effort. Everyone is doing some
sort of war job.
We have been provided with a
number of service clubs and recre
alton centerS all maintained by
public donation. Perhaps not very
many people realize just what it
means to us to have these clubs
to spend u free time in. 1t really
does mean a whole lot.
No matter what rumors may get
around, the schools provided by the
armed forces are the best that are
to be had. They're tough, yes, but
we're a tough nation, as our enc
mics + rapidly finding out.
We're all on our toes working and
waiting until We can get a crack
at the Japs or Germans.
Our life in the service is made
easier in knowing that everyone
at home is giving his utmost to
help win this war. We men in uni
form will do part. You do yours.
Keep buying bonds and stamps and
before you know it we'll all be home
Keep EN- flying!
Sincerely
Private Leroy E. Dunster.

The casualties of the First Army

Considering the scale of Our
attack and the tenacity of the
enemy'S defenses they have not
been too heavy he said. THE battle

can say that with no large towns

are bleak.
