——— ■ —— From Cpl. Willard Conn, (i ion-in-law of Mr. and Miiii. Jacob Bucher) who is somewhere in Sorth Africa: Dated April. 28, IS 43: Dear Editor: I hardly knew vhat to think when I started gating the Syracuse paper, which was only about a week ag®. .1 w int to • thank you for making it pc ss ible for me to get it. I enjoy if 5 ery much and read every word. I will try to tell you a little about this place. I am somewhere in N< rth Africa, and it isn’t it all wh;,t I thought it would be. .Every'vl ere are beautiful trees, flowers ind gardens, with the mountains in the background which mak»s : a very pretty picture. The >u tidings are modern hid all b lilt along the same arch ectual lilies. The roads are practically as g ood as those at home and they have modern electric busses, altho igh not as large as ours in the ci ties at home. The countrysite is covered with vineyards and o ra ige groves and every foot of la n< t is put to use. The people are, i ery friendly. We have a bea it ful Red Cross building down tijwn that is full of. Alliec soldier s the whole day. They also show free movies for us every day. I m ust close now. Thanks again for the paper. Keep the home fires rning, and chins up. We’ll <ll be home before you kn <:>w it.- -4 >plWillard B. Conn. PS. doing a swell job. i From Pfc. Wayne L.

cuse. To The Journal and all my friends back home, “Hello.” Write to me and I will find time to answer. My address is: AAS No. 5, Class 5, Co. B, Room 422, Jonesbuso, Arkansas. From Pvt. Lester E. Niles: Dear folks: I haven’t written to you for a long time so thought I would drop you a few lines. I am getting along just fine here in Mississippi, but it is really hot. We haven’t had any rain for some time now. We sure had plenty of rain when I first came here, in fact it was too much for me. How is the weather in good old Syracuse now—l sure hope it is nice. J have been getting the paper every week and believe me I am glad to get it, so I want to thank you once again for sending it to me. When I read the paper, it makes me feel like I am back home again. The first thing I read is the news from the boys in service, and I think every soldier from home does the same. Today is Mother’s Day and I know every soldier would like 'to be home on this day, the same as 1. but 1 know all of our mothers are thinking of us, even if we cant be | with them. I know for rayself, and for others, that when I come home it will be a great day for us and our mothers. I think 11l be home about June Ist. so 1 11 see all of you then. —Co. L. 393 Inf., U.S. army, APO 449, Camp Van Dorn, Miss. We received a souvenir here at The Journal office of San Antonio, Tex., a picture folder, from Pvt. Marion N. Sawyer, who is at Camp ! Bowie, Tex. Thanks, Maion- —we hope you get to visit the city a few times. Have you mothers sent in your boy’s birthday' date yet? Better hurry—there are several reasons why we want them. Two Syracuse soldiers were at

Fort Riley, Kan., when the tornado hit there last Saturday. There wCre about 200 injured, and much property damage. Capt. Fred Clark and Pvt. George Mitchell both have reported they were not injured. John Robert Kern, U.S.N., has I finished his basic training at the Great Lakes training station, and on May 18th, (his birthday) his address was unknown. Perhaps we can find some belated cards to send him. Mr. C. C. Bachman received a I letter recently from his son, Stf. Sgt. Charles Bachman (who is on a Pacific army air base) that he had been through an attack of malaria fever but was o.k. again. He also related an interesting incident. He said he recently was sorting mail, when a mis-sent bundle was laid aside. He very casually glanced through it and saw two letters addressed to Lt. Laucks Xanders, who is somewhere in Australia. Charles said it certainly gave him a strange feeling. Perhaps Laucks wondered why those two letters were so long in reaching him. Stanley Ray Grimes, grandson of Mrs. Jasper Grimes, of R. R. 2, was inducted into the Navy recently. Forrest J. Mock, a former Syracusian, who has resided recently at Detroit, was inducted into the army last week from a Detroit board. Corp. Edwin Huber, stationed at Alliance, Neb., returned ther, Tuesday after a two-weeks furlough with Mrs. Huber and baby. Pvt. and Mrs. Sam Ferris, of Danville, Ky., spent five days here as their guests. Pvt. Ferris is an ambulance driver connected with the Darnell General Hospital in Kentucky, and he and Corp. Huber were buddies when Huber was in Kentucky for training. Corp. Marion Darr, of Indiantown Gap, Pa., spent last weekend here with Mrs. Darr, the former Elaine Coy. Pvt. George Harvey has a birthraj today, May 21. He is out on maneuvers at present, and his address is not known, so he will receive birthday cards later on. Pvt. Verio Dewey Laughlin. who is overseas in North Africa, has a birthday June 8. We can’t publish his address, but can give it to any friends who want to send a card. Mail should be sent at once, in order to get there by June Bth. Pvt. Nelson M. Felts, 898 Ch. Co., Air Operations (M & H), Daniel Field, Augusta, Ga., sends the following to his mother, for > Mother’s Day. No doubt it ex-| presses thoughts of every man in service. Dear Mom: I started out to say, “I send my love on Mother's | Day.” But then, I thought, one ■ day can’t hold the things I really ! should have told you long ago, but never did. I guess I was a thoughtless kid before I left, but now 1 know into what ever spot I go, your love will always follow me. Your cheerful smile will always be in front of me to urge me on, and say, of course you’ll make it Nelson! Just like you always used to do w r hen I was worried, scared or blue. Like when I thought I wouldn’t pass my final test in history class. Or when I tried to make the team. Or woke up scared from a bad dream. I’ve had some bad dreams lately too,

but then I’ve always thought of you and things come back in line again. Well, Mom, I guess I don’t know when I’ll see you but I want to say,. I’ll think of you on Mothers’ Day. Pvt. David LeCount was home recently on a 10-day furlough. Capt. Kingsley Pfingst was home the past week on a 5-day leave. Tt. Sgt. Keith Cripe, of Eglfn Field, Fla., and Mrs. Cripe, were here recently on a visit. Sgt. Cripe is, we believe, the first Syracuse boy to enlist in the army in this present war. He will soon complete- a three-year enlistme. t. He has been stationed at Eglin Field during all that period. Pvt. Warren Benson, 445 Eng. Dep. Co., Camp Claiborne, La., will celebrate his birthday ou May 26th. Pvt. Lewis Garrison has returned to civilian life here with an honorable discharge because of his age. He has been stationed at Ft. Knox, Ky., on M. P. duty since his induction 8 months ago. We received a card recently from Sgt. R. F. VanderWater, a former Syracuse boy, saying he enjoys The Journal very much. He has been located at Camp Maxey, Texas, but has been moved now to Co. B, 92nd Sig. Bn., APO 403, Annex, Shreveport, La. Lowell Sharp, U. S. Coast Guard, located at Alameda, Calif., sends us a card, showing a U.S.O. service club. He says: “Getting along swell. This is a service man’s haven. Put in a good word for the U.S.O. Really a great organization. Folks here really treat us swell.” CpL George Butt, at Camp Patrick Henry, Ya., met his brother. Otis Clyde Butt, U.S.N., who was at Norfolk, Va., last week, for a few hours visit. The boys had not seen one another since a year ago last January, and this visit was greatly enjoyed. Pvt. Jacob Burtsfield, Jr., of Camp Beale, Calif., spent a weeks furlough here with his parents and wife and new baby' at Nappanee. Besides their som Mr. and Mrs. Burtsfield, Sr., have ten nephews in U. S. service. Quite a patriotic family. Sgt. Roy Miller, Jr., of Fort Lewis, Wash., is here now on furlough to visit his mother, Mrs. Hazel Miller; Mrs. Joe Smith received a photostatic Mothers’ Day greeting from Pvt. Rufus Kilmer, who is supposedly in Hawaiian islandds. The message arrived a little bit late, but the thought that he remembered her, really cheered Mrs. Smith. Her son, Harry D. Smith, at March Field, Calif., is now a private first class. D. J. Smith brought us in a change of address for his son, Deloss, who is now at Camp Edwards, Mass. Pvt. Smith is now in the hospital with trouble with his knee. Relatives have received word that Pvt. Dallas Strieby has arrived safely somewhere in Australia. Lt. V. V. Hammer, army chaplain, has been gone now several weeks, leaving from an Eastern port. Lt. and Mrs. Thomas Xanders, of Fort Benning, Ga., arrived on Wednesday to spend a few days with Mr. and Mrs. Geo. L. „ Xan-

ders, and Mrs. Xanders parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Ulery oi Goshen. Lt. Xanders has com peted an advanced training course at Ft. Benning. Sgt. Frederick Traster, Cam;? Hulen, Texas, celebrated a birthday May 18. Send him a b lateil greeting. His address is: Btry. A, 552nd C.A.8.N., Camp liulen, Texas. U. S.

J) The Woman’s Missionary Society of the U. B. church held their annual mother and daughte* papty at the church Wednesday evening. The affair was held in the basement of the church. The ables were laid for 42 members and guests. Spring flowers maoe the table and room look like a flower garden. Favors were tiny b isketis in lavendar and white (the society’s colors) v?lth a growing j urple petunia in them. After all wei e seated, the song, “Faith ol Our Mothers,” was sung in unison, followed by a prayer.
