Nam alt the present time. I’ve been here 10 months and I would like to express my views on the war over here. I read a lot of home town newspapers but I have yet to read the “real facts” on what its like over here. Maybe this letter will give a different opinion of the war. I have seen probably more death and injury than the average American back in the states. Believe me, it isn’t a pleasant sight. But that’s one thing the soldier doesn’t try to think* about. About (the only time you think about death is When one of your buddies gets Waxed (killed), then you Stop to think iit could have been you buit it wasn’t this time.

WISE

Bult death lurks around every corner^and you must be on your guard at all times. I fear the buddy next to me afraid he’ll slip up on his job such as miss handling a claymore mine, having his weapon discharge accidentally. I could go on but I believe you get the idea. The most- important think a soldier should knioiw is his specific job inside oult. If he doesn’t, he’s running a very likely chance of injuring himself and some of his buddies. The one factor over here that didn’t prevail in other wars is you don’t know who you are fighting. The merchant in town could be the guy throwing morItors in your base camp that ndghit. That's Why the GI suspects every-

one and trusts no one. The food over here isn’t the best. So far I lost 35 pounds and believe me I can’t afford to lose it. They call me Slim now. You are on duty 24 hours a day, not knowing When they might say, “Grab your weapon, we’re being hit.” The heat is something you never gelt used to and the mosquitoes are always • there to make your nights hardly sleepalble. I found the people over here live one day to the next. They don’t care if they live under communism or a democratic society. Most of them don’t know itlhe difference either. The U. S. Army is here, but I believe we would pull out in a m'iinuite if we wouldn’t lose face with our allies. So the question >is “Is the United States making •too big a sacrifice just to keep (their number one position in the eyes of their allies?” I read in newspapers where a GI was interviewed and he says how great a job the United States are doing over here and that there’s a job to be done and we’re here to do it and so on. The reasons he Says this is that our society today forces him to answer this way. By this, he’s expected to answer like this so he does. An example of this, one day a buddy of mine, one of the worst complain ers of Army chow I believe there is, was asked by (‘.he commanding general, “How he liked the chow?” To mine, and

TOWN & COUNTRY FURNITURE 1401 E. Market (Rt. 6) Nappanee Ph. 7734171

everyone elses surprise he answered, “It’s tihe best you can expect, I guess.” Now if I or one of his buddies would ask him the same question, he would talk your ear off on how bad it is. Tlhe same thing happens Whan a GI is interviewed by newspapermen, he says what he’s expected to say and the true facts are not brought out. The same thing happens when a Gl writes home to his folks or girl. He doesn’t tell them the true facts, reason being, he doesn’t want them to worry. So therefore no one in the United States actually knows what it’s like over here. Now for my own personal opinion on the war in Viet Nam, I believed the United States has payed enough lives over here, that now it is “our” war too. Too many Americans have given tiheir lives in this hell hole to caflil it quits. We stopped the spread of communism in Korea, now we must stop it in Viet Nam. It’s better to stop communism here than, to coin a phase, “In our own back yard.” I am enclosing a letter from Army Digest. This man expressed what I feel most men in Viet Name believe. When our sargeant read this letter to our platoon I felt with men like this on our side, how can we lose. Sincerely Yours, PFC. Denzil L. Miller HHC 3/21 INF. BAT. APO San Francisco 96256

LETTERS EDITOR ADVANCE-NEWS Dear Sir: It is time that the people of the Wa-Nee district review some facts concerning the school situation! All the children of this district should have the right to a fine mot necessarily the “cheap e-sit) education no matter if they wLih to study agriculture, woodworking, mechanics, secretarial studies, or college prep courses. This is the education which will enable these young people to successfully compete in today’s society, and it can only be provided by a school which is large enough to provide adequate staff and facilities. The plan to achieve this goal has been developed by a board which was elected by the majority, which has listened to everyone including the uninformed, and which carefully weighed the demands-pf jhe presenyas well as the needs for tfie futhre. In ibhe face of unjustified smears personal sacrifice, tremendous pressure from a small minority who are willing to sacrifice their own children’s education for their own pride and a few dollars, and useless delaying tactics which must have already added several hundred thousands of dollars to the cost (which every taxpayer will have to pay) in the face of all of this, the men of the school board are going about their thankless task of guiding the educational program for all. It is high time we support this program, that we back up these men, and that we pult aside our selfish wants for the good of the children. Name Withheld QUALITY CONTROL PROGRAM Quality control in milk production begins with clean milking utensils, points out Sam Gregory, Purdue University extension dairyman. Unclean utensils are a source of contamination of milk with bacteria. Milk quality as judged from bacteria counts or hours in a methylene blue test will remain low as long as the milk comes in contact with dirty utensils. After each milking period, these steps should be taken to insure clean utensils: Rinse them with cool water; Wash in hot waiter with a low sudsing dairy cleanser, using a stiff bristle brush; Store them inverted to drain and dry, and prior to using them again rinse the utensils in a chlorine solution. Teat cup liners should be washed and stored in a lye water solution between milking periods. Two sets of liners used on alternate weeks help extend 'their useful life. Following a week’s use, the liners should be boiled for 15 minutes in a lye water solution. Milk Should be cooled, Gregory adds, to 40 degrees F or less immediately after milking. Beauty is often skin dope.
