The graduation class bestowed
the gifts on the soldiers out of ap-

ment of them and for the help

of the school.

SPOTTING
The M.P.s

The detachment is clicking along
in the usual efficient manner de-
spite the addition of some new SOL
dierS, who are not as familiar with
the routine as some of the old tim
ers. The II weeks training period
which We are beginning should
bring them right up to par with the
best in the detachment.
Lit. r. Davis recently of the 92nd
Division is doing a fine job as v. D.
Control Officer for the detachment.
In connection with his other duties
he is putting forth every effort with
the help of the NCOs to keep V.D.
out of the detachment.
Dig this: The detachment mem
bers like having 1t. Davis conduct
the classes 1t seems whatever the
topic, it is covered in such a right
to the point manner that it is not
difficult for even the slowest think
ers to digest. The way see it, once
the specified period for classes has
passed the soldiers become restless
and lose interest.
The M.PS were honored by two
visits from the post commander last
week. 1 am sure that the talks by
Col. Hardy and Maj. Reasonover
had the desired effect.
Pfc. Herbert Johnson furloughing
in Mobile, Ala, is really knocking
himself out, if the letter received
from Mobile. means anything. After
18 months continued Army service
he a lot of knocking out due him.
Pfc Perry Ward was so glad to see
and find his lady love waiting for
him that he took the big plunge
Much happiness to you and the
wife, Perry. Sgt. Hunt, the cooks
and KP.s are strictly on the ball,
or had you noticed how they keep
that excellent rating resulting from
the inspections of the mess hall? I
feel safe in writing that the detach-
ment has one of the finest and
