Emma Maschera:
Did you read the story in the
Outlook about my brother Arthur
and what he had been through, anC
what he said about the Seabees ?
What he said about them surely
made me proud. I guess he has
bCCll LliOhEn nullC IL Dlbs L IaNCii
heard from him for a long time,
but the folks had a letter.
You could send me some station
cry and razor blades; those are
about the only things | could use
that | do not have.
| have had two 48-hour liberties
and | enjoyed them both. The first
was a week ago Sunday. Roy, two
other men and | went to Santa
Monica. In the afternoon We we're
at the USO where we checked our
coats and had coffee and sand
witches. Then we went walking. In
the evening we attended a dance
and | surely had a swell time. They
had a swing shift dance and we
danced until 6 o'clock. Then we
went to a hotel lobby and slept
until about 1920.
In the afternoon We went down
to the beach and swan in the ocean
about three hours. Next we came
up town, ate and went to Holly
wood.
On the second liberty we went to
Hollywood and stayed all night at
the home of Mrs. Bert Lehi, the
famous Hollywood coincidence who
is the mother of all the Sea Bees.
We went to several broadcasts at
the Columbia and the N. B. c., and
heard yours For Fun" l hope
you were listening; it was good.
Then we saw "People Are Funny"
| have another 48-hour liberty
up this Saturday and Sun
day. People are swell to us out
If we want to 90 anywhere
all we have to do is stand out on
the road and someone picks us up.
The only trouble is that the gas is
scarce.
The Laurel Outlook surely helps
out a lot. | enjoy it so much, for
it keeps me up on the news. | think
