Lloyd ClifforcT Writes Parents
W ItITKS PAKK.NTS A F T E It TKANSKKK FROM FORT HENNING, GEORGIA
Mr. and Mrs. .1. T. Clifford, Grrencastle, R. 3, roerntly received the fol* lowing letter from their son, Private 1 Joy11 Clifford. His address is Battery B, 2nd Bn., Fort Eustis, Va.: Dear folks, I received your package today and was sure glad to get it, everything hit the spot. Nick Obens, one of the boys in our tent, went to Richmond over the week end. His brother from Cleveland, O., came and Obens, our corporal, Corporal Cesmar, myself and three other boys all went in Nick’s brother’s car. we had some time. We slept in the armory for 35 cents. We all went to a dance for men in sendee at a grand place; they had an orchestra and everything. Sunday morning we all had breakfast together and then went walking. We saw the State House and Washington’s Monument. We took some pictures and then went back downtown. We were standing on a street corner and some fellows drove up in a big new car and asked us to go to church with them. We went along and it was out on the west side. After the service they took us to their church house and gave us a swell dinner. Three pieces of fried chicken, just like your fry it, Mom. For dessert we had cake and ice cream. There were forty of us at the dinner table. 16 hoys in service and 24 church members. After all of that one of the young fellows drove us all over Richmond. It’s a beautiful place. We saw a lot of historic places, Thomas Jefferson’s old home and the place where Patrick Henry uttered those famous wr.’-ds. ’’Give me lioerty or give me death." I think it was a church. He let us out downtown and we went to another dance for men in service but we didn’t stay there long. We were walking along the street and an old gentleman stopped us and asked us to go with him. We took off again and ended up in another church. They had mothers and gills there to entertain us. They gave us
our supper, but tve didn’t have much time there. We had to start fighting for a bus at 6:30 to go back to the fort. Got in at 10:00, we had until 11:00. Boy that old southern hospitality is still in progress. If we ever get to go again we will know where to go. They are keeping us on the go now. I’ve still got my cold. It’s hot here in the daytime and cold at night. The leaves and all of the flowers are out at Richmond. We need an iron pretty bad. Tell Aunt Bess I will write her again as soon as possible. When you write again tell dad to write something or tell you what to write. Tell Melvin to write and I’ll answer. He can read this if you want him to. Be sure and write about everything, the farming, chickens, cows, dog, cat, everything. Tell Mrs. Reeves, I said hello, also Francis Love. Write once a week Sis has been writing regularly. Love, Jim.

NEW WARTIME SCHEDULES
The transportation needs of America-at-war have made it necessary to change Greyhound schedules beginning tomorrow. This new service has been arranged in full cooperation with the Office of Defense Transportation. Today the important thing is to make every bus work full time-keeping vittl traffic on the move. To achieve this purpose. Greyhound is introducing many changes — diverting buses to more essential routes—reducing driving speeds — eliminating Expresses and Limiteds and many “second sections” — unifying service with other bus companies in some cases—conserving tires and vital materials in every way. Be sure to ask about the new schedule* before you tske a trip. We hope you will not be inconvenienced, crowded or delayed. But if you are, please be lenient —the war effort come* first , with Greyhound as it does with you. / STEVENS DRUG STORE •Id E. Washington St met Phono 101 GREYHOUND UN£S
