LETTER

to the EDITOR

Dear Sir: I don’t know just how to start a letter like this. I have been in the Army since September 16, 1960. I have read two papers from Greencastle. I guess the people of Greencastle don’t care how the GIs are doing in Viet Nam. I am with the Bde that made the big push against the Viet Cong. My mother lives in Greencastle and I lived there for 17 years. Some of my buddies and myself thought we would send Christmas cards to the home town papers because there are too many people in Greencastle and the other towns in Indiana. So I'll close for now. Thank you and all the people of Indiana. Truly yours, Sp/4 Hinkle and Buddies (SP/4 Herbert G. Hinkle HHC 3rd B de 1st Cav. Div. APO San Francisco, Calif. 96490)

The fires were part of at least 130 reported Monday in a wide area in the South Carolina lowlands stretching from Savannah, Ga., to 200 miles north of Florence. The fires fed on dry pulpwood—mostly young pines — and were whipped along by a strong wind. Forestry’ officials said losses could run into mil-

lions of dollars.

The fires were still burning at dawn today but winds had died down and firemen said the
