HAYS “HELLO” TO OLD FRIENDS

In writing The Democrat to change the street address of his paper, former Township Trustee Harvey W. Wood, Jr., who is now employed in the A. A. Simons Knife Works at Dayton, 0., says: "Am saying ’Hello!’ to everyone in Rensselaer and vicinity. We are well and working every day except Saturday afternoons and Sundays. Plenty of work here but living is high. War work here is over except some parts or branches of the tanks and the planes. The McCook field is used’quite a bit for flying and testing planes. The Wilbur Wright field is nearly deserted, except for storage, and not much doing at the Dayton-Wright field. Uncle Sam has 25,000 boxes of 3pound shells stored at the place I work. Glad to see that Jasper county boys are nearly all home now. My time was short —in one day and out the next. We are always glad to get The Democrat to keep up with the news of Jasper county.”
