Librarian " rites
rom Germany

In a recent letter to her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. John Erickson of
Kennewick, Helen Erickson des-
cribes her Christmas observance
at Wetzlar, Germany. Miss Erick-
son is civilian worker in an Ar
my library there.
"Christmas Eve turned out very
nicely after ALL" she writes. "Many
of the officers ate Christmas din
|ner with their companies SO we had
our dinner on Christmas Eve in
stead. Afterwards I went to a
party at the Aid Station with one
of the doctors.
about 1880 we got in the am
bulance and went to the Cathedral
for midnight mass which was just
for the military. I've always
wanted to 60 to a midnight Mass
but never had before so I enjoyed
it a lot, especially in such sur
roundings. The choir was very
good. The priest celebrating the
Mass was an American and the
others, including the choir, were
German. The c. O., Col. Shaugh-
XACSSyS SC4 vCN SAAS AAACSS eAAANA kAAS GA
tar boys were all soldiers.
"As there was no heat in the ca
theral we got pretty cold before 1t
was over and so we went to the
American Red Cross to warm up.
Everyone else did too, including
the Colonel and the priest. 1t was
$3.50 before got to bed.
Christmas Day I didn't do much
of anything. Had dinner at the
service company, very elaborate
affair, and wrote letters"
Miss Erickson included in her
letter an article clipped from the
Dragon, Seventh Army publication,
which described the library setup
and featured her picture. She is
in charge of a regimental mobile
library containing 700 volumes.
