1t just gives me an idea where and
what the other Laurel boys are do
ing. AS you see by my address l
am over here in the Philippine
islands. l have been overseas five
months after leaving Fort Ord,
Calf. The trip over sure was in

81 days and l can assure you | was
more than glad to put my feet on
land again. We were in New
Guinea for five days and then head
ed for the Philippines. The Phil
ippines are wonderful place. 1t
is just like some valleys in Califor-
mia. 1t is really hot over here. l
have been in combat for three
months and l can say it is no
picnic. | was promoted to Private
First Class in May and received the
Combat Infantry badge after %
days at the front lines. I also re-
ceived one Campaign Star and the
Philippine Liberation Ribbon. At the
present time l am in a garrison
camp outside of Manila. We can
get passes to Manila every day and
really enjoy my tour around Manila |
as it is a very pretty city even
though it has been bombed to pieces. /
There are some swell shows and |
1ances at night. The night clubs
are open to all servicemen. The

our camp and they put on free
shows every night. Also have ice
cold coco-cola, candy and gum. We
just can't have a better living. The
U. S. o. puts on stage shows and
the one | saw was Kay Kyser and
four beautiful girls from Hollywood.
They were really grand. Those
girls made us howl for two full
hours. They were the first real
American girls l have seen in four
months. Then about a month ago
we saw the famous "Mad Russian"
in person. A week ago we had the
pleasure of meeting Paul V. Nc
Mutt. He just came from the
States and asked all about the Phil
ippines.
l suppose Pm rather lucky to
have some old buddies here in my
outfit. S/Sgt. Tom Sparks is medi-
cal corpsman in the same Batillion
as l. We are always together. Then
there's an old buddy that l trained
with back at Camp Robinson, Ark.
He is Daniel Bait from Sheppard,
Mont. He and l are also never
more than 20 feet apart at all
times.
The people over here in the is
lands are mostly Filipinos and they |
are really swell and honest. The
girls come around and wash all of |
our clothes, sell bananas and pine
apple. We enjoy the fruit. We
have dances at our Red Cross di-
vision and those girls can really
swing a soldier around.

I'm sorry l have waited so long

guess it is better late than never.
L was sure surprised to get the

A person can find out where lot
of his friends are And talking
about that, got quite a surprise
last night. They called over the
inter-phone that there was a phone
call over at the orderly room. I
just took off and landed there in
about two jumps. 1t turned out to
be Robert Tharalson. He told me
where he was and also that George
Fox was down here with him. We
are going to get together tonight
and really have a talking time of it.
l don't like Texas. Friday night
when we were at guard it was 1O4
at 8 o'clock, and that wasn't our
hottest day by quite bit. After
being used to the nice cool mountain
breezes of good old Absarokee, it
is just too hot to suit me.
1t seems as / have about run out
of things to write, and in closing
l want to thank you again for send
ing me the Outlook. l really ap-
preciate it.
T/Sgt. Bernard R. Bailey, Minter

Fort Meade Cancels
Extended FurIouqhs;;
Speeds Discharges

Fort Meade, which was forced to
give 45-day furloughs instead OF dis
charges to thousands of men re-
turning from overseas because it
couldn't handle the load, now is
calling the soldiers back for dis
charge before the end of the fur
loughs.
The announcement from Fort
Meade last night that it was recall
ing the men at the rate of 200 a
day ends month of confusion in
which hundredSof men weren't sure
whether they were supposed to re-
port back to camp or stay home and
had to rely on statements the post
asked to be published in the news
papers.
The recall affects $500 men from
Washington, Maryland, Virginia
and West Virginia, all of whom will
be discharged when they return to
Meade. The first group is due back
next Thursday.
kilograms to, the men on fur
Tough give them five days to get
back to camp, 1t was emphasized
that they are to return on the date
noted in the telegram and to bring
the wire with them when they re-
port.
To clear away some of the con-
fusion that kept soldiers calling
the newspapers for information,
Maj. Robert Bachman, command
ing officer of Meade's Reception
Station No. 8, announced that in
the future no soldier on furlough
from the station should consider his
furlough as being either extended
or shortened unless he receives
direct notification by mail or tele-
gram.
Brig. Gen. Charles G. Helmick,
commanding general of the per-
sonnel center, said the original
granting of furloughs to these men
was not normal routine but was IAN
emergency measure adopted last
month only because the food of
veterans returning from overseas
was far greater than could be han
died at Fort Meade"
He said he did not expect ouch
furloughs will be necessary again
because the capacity of the separa-
tion center Is expanding daily.
