Scott Kirkham Writes Parents

Mr. and Mrs. Wm. N. Kirkham, 19 Highland Street, have received the follow.ng letter from their son, T-Sgt. K. Scottie Kirkham. Okinawa (Island May 23, 1945 Dear Folks, It's raining again so hard wo can't work much so 1 11 try to get a short letter written. It rained about all day yesterday and night before last so the mud is plenty bad. When the weather is like this there is very little f ghting our tanks can d,o but those poor Inf. toys sure eaten

hell.

I'm sending you the sheet of paper I received from the C. G. I’ve not received the medal as yet but that will oome later when this campaign is over and they have time to put on some kind of ceremony. I don't think I deserve the award though for we were just doing our part of the fighting and it was the four boys in my crew that helped me keep them going. I'll admit we all worked hard and had excellent results. We only changed about 130 spark plugs and two men woi j ng on a tank can change a set in about 2 hours if everything goes well but I've seen times when we would run into some trouble and it would take up U four hours to just change the plugs. The first day of fighting one of the tanks broke a valve rocker and I :ouldn't find a replacement on the Island and then that r ght another cne came in with a broken gas line and fouled

fixed temporary to keep the vehicles going unt.l we have the time to do it right. One of the tank members gave me hell the other night because when he

came in with some engine trouble | sey, are the parents of a

j after 9 days fighting and we had it fixed in a couple hours and I told him he was ready to go out aga.n the next morning that it looked like I was just trying to get him Humped off. Said that when something did go wrong and he could have a day off to rest a little if I didn’t fix it so quick. And in a way wherr you t.iinK about ,t he was right for if we didn’t repair them they wouldn't have to go out yet if everyone was like that we never

would get home.

Mrs. Edith Owens

"I feel it is my Christian duty i to tell others suffering as I did of the grand relief Retonga brought me,” happily declares Mrs. Edith Owens, well known resident of Route 7, Box 342-A, Atlanta, Ga. Mrs. Owens is known for her sterling character throughout her section. Discussing Retonga she gratefully continued: “For about two years I don't believe I felt good a single day. My strength seemed gone, I felt like my nerves would go all to pieces and my weight was down to 94 pounds. My appetite was poor and no matter how much I forced myself to eat it did not check the downward trend in my weight. Food just seemed to sour in my stomach and do me no good. I was too nervous and restless to get a good nights sleep and I felt tired all the time. I had to use laxatives every day. “Retonga gave me such grand relief that I have regained 16 pounds and feel so much stronger that I do all my housework easily. I feel like a different person. Retonga is the grandest nedicine I ever saw.” Retonga is intended to relieve iistress due to Vitamin B-l deficiency, constipation, insuffici?nt flow of digestive juices in the itomach, and loss of appetite. Accept no substitute. Retonga may be obtained at R. P. Mullins Drug Store.—Adv.
