I have in Laurel. My thanks to all
who make it possible for us boys
overseas to receive the Laurel Out

San Diego, Calf, Jan. "a:
7 wish first TO thank the Outlook
staff for their promptness in get
ting my name on the list of papers
e. =a~,1,ae n ,rl 10 H. fo11y-
who so generously back this pro-
ject. l realize now what the paper
must mean to the boys overseas, for
ii means so much to me-still in the
States but far from home and
friends.
I am now completing my fifth
week of marine training. 1t seems
impossible that a civilian can be
converted into a marine in such a
short time. We don't step out for
coffee at 10 and beer at 5, and
it's a little rough at times but a
healthy and wholesome feeling. We
are kept busy at all times. I am
new on the rifle range and will fire
for record in about 10 days.
There is little time for letter
writing, so I wish to take this OPP
peTtunity to sincerely thank the
felix's who have so intellectually
helped Mrs. Scott keep the wheels
Turning at the plant.
Hello to all the boys everywhere.

I assure you your gesture is highly
successful. With reminders of the
complete about backing from the
people at home we cannot help but

is fine with you and that in the not
far distant future we may all meet
