LETTERS FROM THE BOYS


 ening in on some of the letters we receive from some of the boys and girls who are getting "The Messenger" and who have been kind enough to send us their re- action and news about themselves. Here are a few excerpts:
 From Coast Guardsman Her bert Stiles in Texas: "I received ''The Messenger" which I had been told was coming. I want you to know that I appreciated it very much. I am most thankful to you and all the people of our town for your efforts in order that we boys might know what is happening at home and also enjoy few laughs. Many of the boys here read the issue and enjoyed it the same as I did" (And here is some encour- agement for our local Victory Gardneres): "We are centalnly having warm weather down here. Our garden is in full bloom and we are eating a meal day from it."
 Joseph Dubisky says: "I want to express my sincere thanks and ap- preciation to all those who made it possible for us to receive "The Messenger. I think that all those in the service feel the same way and are eagerly awaiting the next issue"
 Private Gladys Goodrich writes from U.S.N.T.S. at Hunter Col lege in New York: "You made this my red letter day. You have no idea how much news from home can mean when you're away"
 Marian c. Jackson of the WACS is at Fort Devens. She wants to be sure to get "The Messenger" each month. "This is a grand organiza- tion to be in,' she writes, "and I hope in the future many more girls from our town will join."
 From Camp Hood, Texas, Cor poral Charles F. Politis says of S'The Messenger: ''I showed it to several of my buddies from Bloom field and from towns in States far away from Connecticut. They all wished that their home towns had such a paper. I am taking this op- portunity to thank the people of Bloomfield"
 From somewhere out in the Pacific Sergeant Frank Dubinsky sends a newsy letter: "All the peo- pie spoken of Gin The Messenger) are known. With little imagina- tion one can just sit down and read and think he has met an old friend and he is relating things that have gone on which have missed, being out of the States for a year and a half.
 ''This might be interesting for you to know, that two Bloomfield boys are in the same outfit, Arthur Gagnon and myself.
 "The conditions are practically the same as when we first landed I don't mean that we are fight ing or anything like that now.
