Easter with no Easter lilies. I wonder if the weather has permitted them this year. Today's weather is typical April weather at home, it has rained continuously since around 9:30 that’s when I woke up and it was raining then. This is my Sunday off and as usual I have accomplished very little. I realize I should have gone to church services, but I just didn't have enough ambition [ to get up that early. Perhaps next year I can go with you. If you have trouble following this writing just blame it on the boys who have all the tables occupied. I am in my bunk and using my pillow for a desk. I’ll be alright if I can just stay awake. Saw "Pop" Moran this morning and he may be back with us I Within the next few d iys. He hud ’ a cup o feoffee with us and was very cheerful as always. He certainly enjoys this Navy life, but ho w he can is beyond me. Got another letter from you Fl'iday, your mail has been coming through very „od the past week. From what you say Jerry is getting to be quite a little man. It will be good for him to spend his vacation with you, and he should bo able to help you a great deal. Seems I was doing several things when I was his age. Does h; like to fish? Guess he w uldn’t be a Masten if he didn't, Ha! Big ships don't scare me! I’ll tak' my chances on any of them just to get home. There is nothng about water to be afrad of, espccally now. It s just as safe as a Iran trp. I don't want anyone to do something just to make things easy f r me. I’ll get by without too much help. Anyway, it isn't good to get things too easy. I’m planning on taking a trip to Danville when I get home and get all my courses straightened out. I have never gotten my credits, I'm not getting any younger and don’t to waste too much tine In getting started. Glad Russell Buis came through safe, he surely has had his share .1 doubt if the boys in Europe wculd want to trade places with him, they had to fight from one foxhole to another and their joins were measured in yards. The news continues t sound vrrv good, but, still the fight continues. Guoms this will be all for now, take good care of yourself and please don't worry about me. Your Son,

FABULOUS HOARD of German gold and money cached in a 2,100-foot salt mine at Merkers, Germany, was viewed by these two American officers, Lt. Col. William L. Russell, left, of Chevy Chase, Md.. 90th Division military government officer, and Maj. Frank Brock of New York, member of the Third Army. More than 100 tons of gold bullion, currencies of many nations and stacks of priceless art works were captured when two talkative German women spilled the secret to military police. Reichsbank officials on the spot said the bullion represented "all tnc gold in Germany." Included in the treasure was an estimated $2,000,000 in American cur;nney. (International)

INFANTRYMEN CROUCH IN RUINS OF JUELICH

SPEEDY CONSTRUCTION MEANS SPEEDY ADVANCE

ONE OF THE BIGGEST REASONS for the rapid advance into Germany is the lightning-speed construction of pontoon bridges by the U. S. engineers. From little streams to the great Rhine, the might of Yank troops depends on the bridges set up for them by the in-front-of-the•• , front ,, engineers. Here, a rising, swift-moving river adds to the complications of building under fire on the Sure river in Germany, but the GI construction crew extends their pneumatic span and traffic rolls on In chase of the *'‘ az * 8, (International) - -=S-9 WAVES Solve Jig-Saw Puzzle to Aid Navy's Fighting Men
