The day that mail from home is re-

jungles of Guadalcanal, now in COM
plete control of American forces, is
a red-letter occasion ahead of all 9TH

the boys feel about receiving letters,
and how they shared their Christmas

81 was surprised to receive a few
Ely Miners while here at this new 10

pundisclosed point, and possibly was in
on the thanking movement that carried
troops to the northwest tip of the is
land and brought about the capitula-
ton of the Japs) The papers sure
caught up with me fast. I felt like ]
was as home.
What made me feel good was to
see that the home folks are taking an
interest in us soldiers who are doing
our best, and it certainly gives us en-
couragenent to win this war. The boys
here are all interested in the home
paper and read it when they get an
opportunity, and I sure can say that
our little town and paper is well placed
on the map.
