SGT. DONALD ALSPAUGH WRITES FROM ENGLAND Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Alspaugh havt received the following letter fron their son, Sgt. Donald W. Alspaugh who is now in England: Dear Mama, Papa and all. Will drop you a line tonight, hoping it finds you all in the best oi health. I am fine and doing O. K I got about a half dozen letters yes terday and was sure glad to get them. I guess by now that you have got ten one of my letters. I have beei writing V-mail. I hope you don’t mind getting those. I’ll try to write a long letter at least once a week You will all have to share it. Now, I will try to tell you something about what I have seen and as much as possible of the trip and out proceedings. Wo left Ft. Jackson and went to Camp Kilmer, New Jersey. There we got the A. P. O. number and th it was when they started censoring our mail. The food there was delicious and the air was wonderful. Between the two things. I ate like a pig and gained about five pounds. We had all of the necessary touch ups tl i n and then came the ship. This consisted of getting rid of all things that would not be necessary. Everyone was wondering what to di with this and that and what the fellow in xt to him was taking. Thor we sent all the unnecessary articles home. You would never have known that this group of boys were going over seas. The morale was high and n 1 one seemed as though he had P worry in the world. We hardly knew when we started to move, but after so long they let u come up on deck. Of course everyone was up there and it was pretty crowded. I never did stop to realize that the ocean was so very big, but when you see nothing hut water for days it makes you sit up and take notice of its capacity. One interesting thing was watching the other ships in the convoy, the way they dipped in the water and the water went on the forecastle so high. Then, of course, you have the usual amount of fellows getting sick. I guess I was lucky. After dark when we were on deck we could see small shining crystallike things in the water. Some said it was the salt, others said it was . ome kind of phosphorus. I don’t
know, but nevertheless it was pretty, but it finally got old. We were allowed two bars of candy a day and that was the most important part of the whole trip. (Just like mail call is now.) We saw one whale and that was about twenty minutes of excitement and three or four days of ghastly stories. Finally, we saw land and to me that was the most welcome thing I think I’ve ever seen, because I had begun to get tired of that ship. Well. I guess I’d better close for now. I’ll take up from here later on in another letter and tell you about landing time and up to the present. Be sure and keep writing. Lots of love to all, Donald Wayne.
But there are many priceless treasures ihat we might have but which we never troubled to claim: Rejoice with me for I have found the piece which I had lost.—Luke 15:9.

Army Will Use Brass For Shells
WASHINGTON. April 13. (UP) The army is discontinuing use of steel for making artillery cartridge cases and is going back to brass in a move expected to boost production by about 30 per cent and save $100 - 000.000 in 1944, the War Department revealed today. Maj. Gen. Levin H. Campbell head of the ordnance department, explained that the army originally stopped ising brass because of a shortage of ingredients for the alloy. While 'severe manufacturing difficulties were anticipated’’ in use of steel, he taid, “the interest and cooperation and determination of the technicians And production men or American inlustry proved the venture a suecess.’’ But about the first of this year, i.e laid, the arms supply program reached the point where a vast reluction was made possible in production of small arms ammunition, thereby releasing vast amounts of brass for artillery cartridge cases. The change back to brass, he said, will boost production and save money because brass requires fewer manufacturing operations and yields lower scrap losses. Pacific Ace Lost
