ed an interest in obtaining Christ

mittee, urged pupils who are will
ing to relieve the critical labor
shortage confronting merchants to
devote a part Of their vacation to-
ward rendering this valuable COM
munity service. Without the help
of the High school Students" said.

Dear Nom:
Just a few lines to let you know
that everything is o. K.
For the first time since 1 have
been out here, I am allowed to tell
you something of our operations
which we have been on. So hold
on to your chair because the fol-
lowing may be shock to you.
We were part of the force who
took part in the invasion of Leyte.
in the Central Philippines. We had
the luck to come out alright. We
were in Leyte Bay at the time of
the biggest Naval Battle of the Pa
cific war land probably of all
time) was being fought. From
where I was, we could see the gun
fire, and 1 know that we gave those
dirty Japs a licking they will not
forget.
During these operations we were
under several air attacks and
came through all of them o. X.
One day we experienced five air
raids which lasted from one to
three hours each.
Yes, it was big time, and I am
certainly happy that I was in on
the biggest thing to happen in this
