A dozen lucky Boy Scouts are
working at Walter Reed Hospital
helping soldiers, minus legs, to get
out into the sunshine.
They are working hard at it. alert
and willing in response to every call
for service from the cots or wheel
chairs.
And they are having a good time
doing it.
Maj. Gen. S. u Marietta. COM
mandant, is enthusiastic about the
,Iay the idea is working out and
thinks it will spread to Army general
hospitals in other communities.
1t all started when Eugene Reilly,
Is. 4527 Ninth street NV, was in the
hospital couple of weeks ago to see
wounded GI, friend of his fam
lily. On the way out a soldier asked
him if he would push his wheel
chair. The youngster obliged will
/ ingly. A member of Troop 49, st.
Paul's Church, Rock Creek Parish,
he then asked himself why couldn't
the Boy Scouts do this.
He went to see Gen. Marietta.
Then he saw Mrs. James S. Y. WINS,
1901 Gallatin street NV, wife of a
lawyer, who was assistant deputy
air raid warden of Arkansas area
No. 3 in the neighborhood of the
hospital Mrs. WINS works with the
boys Of the neighborhood, and she
thought the soldier aide" idea ex-
cellent. She had 10 boy messengers
in the air raid organization and
when the Civilian Defense Corps
was disbanded she kept them active
in paper drives, etc.
Mrs. WINS trained the boys In
wheel-chair chauffeuring in her
basement recreation room A wheel
chair, she said, is tricky thing Its
front wheels can turn suddenly and
it will dump its occupant on the
pavement if not properly handled
And there were a lot of don'ts to
be observed Don't ever push a
standing chair without warning the
occupant because he may have his
fingers between the spokes. The
Scouts learn to adopt a rigid rou-
tine Of personal hygiene-washing
their hands and cleaning finger
nails before going ION duty"
The IL soldier aides" have cards
in the time rack with the regualr
employees at Walter Reed Hospital
and check in and out. They put in
about three hours day and in
tend to work seven days a week
through the summer and continue
after school in the fall.
They wear the arm band of an
honorary Scout organization, WAL

because of the sights they have
seen. The most unfortunate part
of it all, is that many of our brave
soldiers will never have this op-
portunity. God rest their souls in
peace. and may all the rest of US
fight to keep it. l hope that con-

that United States will be forced

We're indeed fortunate to come
through so well. 1 suppose you
will now rate a furlough home, al
lowing some of the more recent ar
rivals to take over as the Army of
Occupation. Well, son, you Boys
surely deserve a trip back to the
States just as soon as adequate
transportation can be arranged.
That seems to be the great prob
lem right at this time. The Unit
ed States is pushing the Pacific
war with renewed vigor, and that
means moving lots of men and ma
terials; just like we did before We
were actually ready to give the
Germans the final squeeze that
spelled their defeat.
Camp lures must be quite
nice place, from the manner in
which you have described it, Louis.
Naturally, I would not have any
idea of the number of troops that
are camped there with you, but it
would be fine if you fellows could
rate a bunk in one of the four
hotels you mentioned. Or is that
asking too much under the circum-
stances?
Now that you may be in a posi-
tion to find a bit more time on
your hands, and your surroundings
more suited to letter writing, drop
us line now and then my friend,
so that we may know how things
are going for you. Well always

will be pretty smooth from here on

It's been mighty nice hearing
from you, Albert. I want you to
feel right at home when writing to
this column. This is the place fol-
servicemen from this area to
sound off, and those who do not
make good use of it for that pur-
pose can't say they have not been
invited.
I'm glad that you enjoyed your
recent furlough home, Sailor. OF
course, little rural community
does not have the variety of
amusements to offer that you have
down at Norfolk; however, the
difference is what so many fellows
like and after all it is home. No
matter where you go, and no mat
ter how many interesting sights
you may see, home will always
hold a certain meaning that is
hard to put into words. And the
further you travel, the greater the
desire to place your feet under
your own table.
You and I are in the same boat,
Albert. Your twin broter Alfred
has not written in since he was
stationed over at Bainbridge, Mary
land. The last change of address
I had for him was under the date
of March 22nd, 1945. I'll be pleas
ed to know what moves he has
made when he does get in touch
with me.

Dear Dribbles:
1t has been quite sometime since
I last wrote you, so thought l
would drop you line to let you
know how things are going over
here.
AS you already know, all is over
over here. Everything seems
peaceful once again. I sure did
not expect it to happen quite SO
quickly as it did, but the sooner
the better for all of us.
After we started down the
mountains and into the Pc Valley,
we sure took off. We used every
kind of transportation available.
Some of us were loaded upon
trucks, some on tanks, and we
even used some of the German
trucks that we found which would
still run.
Our outfit was very lucky all
the way through. We did not have
a casualty.
Our Company is now stationed
in the little town Of Camp lures,
in the northern part of Italy. We
are about fifty miles east of Bren-
ner Pass. 1t is beautiful country
here. The town of Camp lures
itself is 1857 feet above sea level,
but the mountains surrounding us
are much higher Down in the
valley the grass is lush and green,
whereas, the mountains above are
all snow-capped.
This town did a big tourists
trade before the war. There are
four big hotels located at this
point, yet the town itself is small
er than Smyrna.
Well, I guess that's about all
the news 1 can tell you about this
place, so will sign off.

wounds received in action on the
European battle front. And for
wounded soldier, it would seem that
Russell is getting around pretty

it did not seem to need medical at

Dear Dribbles:
1t has been sometime since l
last wrote to you, and in the mean
while lot has happened. I was
MT in combat very long before I
was wounded just slightly. After
two weeks in the hospital, I went
back to the front, and have been
there ever since.
Since arriving here l have been
in a number of cities whose names
have figured in recent news re-
ports. Right now we are getting
a little rest in the foothills of the
most beautiful mountains in the
world
To the folks back home, it may
seem rather odd that we would be
having snow here early in the
month of May, but such is the
case. Last night it showed again,
to the depth of about six inches.
Some of the boys and myself tried
our luck on skis. Those 1 choose
proved to be too small, and we
ended up or sfr psr-y r y S!i- sliding

You're sure 100 per cent correct
soldier when you state that it has
been a long time since we have
heard from you directly. How
ever, we're very glad to know that
your wound was only slight and
that you are back with your outfit
once more.
Several weeks ago, word was re-
ceived from an outside source that
you had been wounded in action,
therefore we were anxious to know
how seriously Apparently, all is
well that ends well-this apply
ing to your own case.
Now that the European phase of
the war is over, as far as the ac-
tual fighting is concerned, let us
hope that your good luck will hold
from here on out. And, since
much of the censorship has now
been lifted on letters from the
European Theatre of War, We'll be
looking for more mail from you,
giving us bit more information
about yourself.
Ernest, your reference to the
most beautiful mountains in the
world apparently refers to the
Alps. Well, soldier, you may be
correct in your opinion that the
Alps are tops when it comes to
scenery value. However, before
getting set in your ideas, why not
take look at your own Rockies
back home. They too have much
beauty, and are indeed representa-
tive of America with their rugged
peaks denoting strength and pow
er. You know Ernest, many of us
have the best in the world right at
our feet, but because it is so near,
we do not realize it. This is also
true with many real blessings in
life. They are located right in our
own back yard, whereas we go on
loug journeys searching for them.
Well, my friend, after all, that is
life BY the time you have OBJ
tanned enough knowledge to live
correctly, you find you do not have
much time left to enjoy the fruits
of this knowledge. Before the
war, thousands of American tour
lists went to Europe every year to
see the sights. Now the whole
thing is in reverse. Thousands OF
