The work of the demolitionist is
of prime importance in the modern
warfare which is waged by the hard
hitting paratrooper. They study
and practice demolition methods of
setting and disarming BOBBY traps,
destroying bridges, and blowing up
industrial plants, dams, and all
means of communications. In addi-
ton, they practice with the flame
thrower and the army's famed
"bazooka."
In combat, a fully equipped de-
molitionist jumps with we'll over

| have been receiving the Laurel
Outlook very regularly. l can't tell
you how much l appreciate it. My
company has made a move recently,
we are now in Rotenberg, Germany.
There is a gym very near, also the
"A. r. c." We have a party in the
company mess hall once a week. 1t
really would be nice if the people
spoke English. 1t has been raining
here almost constantly. Most of
the grain crop was ruined this fall.
1t will soon be time for taps.
Here's hoping the boys and girls
of Laurel have a happy, and enjoy
able Thanksgiving.
