Hello Folks:

Hello Folks:
Bein' that Sal is packed and about
on her way to visit her hubby, Sgt.
William F. Whiteside of Boca Ra-
ton Field, Fla, you'll understand
why her column is short and sweet
this week. Between packing and
tryin' to learn how to cook at the
same time, you can bet I've been
one busy person. During my vaca-
ton, 1 have asked a number of
prominent Twin Citians to pinch
hit for me. I'm sure you'll enjoy the
different columns which they will
write. Thought you might enjoy
reading an interesting letter re-
ceived from Pvt. Frank Harris.
Letter of the Week
Dear Sal:
1 want to wish you all the luck
and happiness in the world on your
recent marriage. 1 may be a little
late with my little greetings. But
they say it's better late than never.
l am stationed in Van Dorm, Miss.
I am at Fort Benning now going to
school. Since I have been stationed
in this part of the country I have
met only one other person from the
Twin Cities. A former st. Paulite,
she really is doing her part in
building up the morale of our boys
away from home. She deserves a
medal for the boys here really like
her. She and a few other girls came
here from Birmingham, Ala, and
put on a dance and show. She sang
"In My Solitude" which really
brought big hand from the boys
which brought on encores. So I will
suggest we give three big cheers
for Miss Cynthia Hit. Tell all the
folks back home that we boys scat
tered throughout this world are
doing our best to put quick end to
this war. So keep the chins up and
keep punching and we will be back
on the sidewalks of the Twin Cities
with our loved ones again.
Pvt. Frank M. Harris
