OF the world. I've been in the navy

work at home. You are doing swell.
AS Robert Strobel, jamestown,
n. D., March 20:
l wish to extend a hearty thanks
for the Outlook; it is very sincere
ly appreciated.
For the past four months l have
been attending jamestown College
as an aviation student. We are get
ting the equivalent of a two-year
college education, and in addition
to that we're getting several hours
of dual flying instruction. Although
many of US are classified as navi-
gators and bombardiers, we'll do
just as much flying as the boys
classified as pilots. Since most of
us have almost completed our 10
hours of flying, we will be leaving
soon for Santa Ana, Calf, to await
assignment to other advanced
schools.
Thanks again to all those who
make it possible for us to receive
the home paper.
Lieut.. Dorothy l.. Russell, South
west Pacific, March 3, by V-mail:
My grandmother, Mrs. Dan Arm
strong of Laurel, made it possible
for me to receive the Laurel Out
look, for which | am very thankful.
News from ones home is highly
appreciated where we now are.
Your column, Letters from Our
is especially interesting, for
so many of the writer's are my
former classmates. Don't you think
you should title it Letters from
Our Boys and Girls" l am sure
there must be many of our girls
in the service who would be glad
to add their letters to your column.
Please say hello to all my Laurel
friends, and especially remember me
to my former teachers.
(The editors have seriously con-
sidered for some time the changing
of the title, as suggested by Lieu
tenant Russell. However, the col
Iectiveness of the word boys has
come to be regarded in the present
as including the girls too, who
are invited to write.)

nail to Mrs. Frank Jacobs:
1t seems | owe you a letter or

he news, and know you have, you
possess a good idea of where | am

therefore, l am sure you will be-

hat letter writing had been all but
impossible. / can't seem to get the
nance to write to Mother and Dad

Your last two letters contained
OTIS of news, and as usual were
cry welcome. 1t seems the Outlook
as a bit of trouble catching me,
nd when it does it is months old.
Tell Jean l will answer her very
ice letter just as soon as cOndi-
ions permit. l hope she isn't peev-

voided.

We finally have been told we may
count some of our past expert
ices.
San Francisco was the jumping
