ments every evening, after their days military assignments were ended. Captain Martin says 1t is really the first one the soldiers have had as they left Camp Blanding, Florida, just before the chapel was completely built.
 He goes on to say that an officers club has been established where he is stationed and where he and the boys can get cold beer, although the ale is poor brand. At their last base they were fortunate enough to get shipment of Aus tralian beer which Captain Martin claimed was so good 1t spoiled the boys. American beer cannot even begin to compare with 1t, he adds.
 Tt must be nice in Connecticut now that all the trees and flowers are giving out with their blossoms, he adds. Down here where we are the foliage is always green and there is no noticeable change when we en- ter a new season. One morning last week the temperature hit 8 low of 68 and we darn near froze. I don't know how I'll be able to go through a New England winter when this thing is over"
