Because good posture is simply

It's rather far back on your. skull.
AS you sit, walk or move about, be
conscious of trying to reach the
ceiling or the sky with Just this
back portion of your head. Auto
matically. your shoulders will drop
down and back into natural,
easy position. Your head, at the
same time, will move into a
straight line with the rest of your

Right now, would like to hear
from Reuben w. Deakyne. I con-
slider him one Of the best friends
I have in Smyrna, and I am glad

Well, you certainly are getting
around young fellow. The old say
ing of Join the Navy and see the
world through a port hole" surely
does not apply to you with all
those flying hours to your credit.
One would almost think you were
carrying the Navy mail in person
for delivery to Our Boys out your
way.
Some how or other, the word
civilization which you use in your
letter seems to indicate the Philip
pine Islands as having been one of
your ports of call. Course you
don't have to admit it, but I'm sort
of going to think that way until
I'm Strengthened out better.
Things around town are just
about the same as they were when
you showed off. A few more of
the fellows have entered the Ser
vice, and some others have been
released. This sort of thing hap
pens right along. 1t will continue
until the war in the Pacific is won.
There is no question about it that
the u. S. A. is in this struggle un-
til final victory is ours. All the
folks sem to feel the same way
about it. There will be no let
down anywhere.
1 know it must be rather much
of q job for you to write letters
that naturally cannot carry much
news on account of military secur-
ity. Well, to tell you the truth
Nelson, we really do not expect to
learn more than is good for every
body to hear. The main thing is
to keep the letters coming, giving
us all your most recent changes of
address, and telling us that you
are o. K. The very fact that you
are in good health, and getting
along alright, means a lot to every
one back home. No stuff, sailor.
The very best of luck to you, my
old friend, and here's hoping that
your next move will be to a spot
that affords more of the civilized
atmosphere in your daily diet. Be
seeing you fellow.

there ever was one. I sure do like
this duty. It's the kind that will

it will break you. So far, I'm do
ing o. K.
This ship has six Jap planes to
her credit already. These men can
really shoot, and I'm not kidding.
I will certainly feel safe as long
as they keep up the good work.
1t is expected that we will be
back in the States soon, since our

that they will prove exciting.

It's been mighty nice hearing
from you again, Tommy" It is
especially good to know that
everything is going o. K. with you
and that grand little destroyer you
are serving on. Without a ques-
ton of doubt, all ships in the Pa
cific war are doing their share and
making fine records for themselv-
es. None the least the destroyers
that screen all feet operations.
These screening ships are the first
to feel the egects of the Jap plane
attacks. 1t is true, that a number
of the suicide jobs do attempt to
crack down on the carriers, but
many falter in their objectives and
single out the smaller ships, appar-
emily feeling that they may meet
with much better success.
No one knows the exact reason,
but for the present it appears az
though the skies over Japan are
rather well cleared of planes. 1t
might be that they are saving
what remains of their air force to
await a landing on the mainland.
Who knows? 1t was very much
the same story in the closing days
of the European war. History
might again repeat itself.
Well, Tommy" your ship has
indeed done very well with six Jap
planes to her credit. And, it is
fairly clear from the way you
wrote, that this is not expected to
be the final score.
We all hope with you that you'll
have the opportunity for a trip
back to the States and a leave
home, Tommy" Even though the
days may pass quickly for you

ers of this column will read this
report with interest, and I trust,
at the same time, will realize the
tasks which cnfront the Boys in
the Infantry who are later award
ed the Combat Infantryman Badge
for their performance and devotion
to duty, Unquestionably, the work
assigned to the 250th Infantry dur
ing the Battle for Germany was of
far reaching proportions. When
completed, it was a job well done,
no one can possibly deny this. I
am sure that I can safely speak

that Staff Sergeant Steele has
come through the European phase
of the war with safety, after
achieving so much to accomplish
its end.
And to Captain Robert D. Upp,
we again wish to thank him for his
friendly consideration and unself-
ish praise for those who served un-
der him throughout the campaign.
With such leadership, it encourag-
es men to accomplish what might
be termed the impossible. Cap
tain Upp's letter home, relating
the fine points of the men in his
outfit, might well be followed by
more Company Commanders if
they only would see fit to follow
his example. We think it a mighty
fine example of a brave man fit to
lead troops in battle, and just as
willing to give the men of the
rank and file credit once the OBJ
jective has been secured.
