We Need Your Help, Readers!
We are anxious to send the Mill
Whistle to as many of our boys in ser
vice as we can reach. With the con
tinuous shifting from camp to camp
we’ve lost trace of several boys.
Too, we have a. notice from Uncle
Sam stating that no mail could be sent
outside the limits of continental United
States if it shows the location of a
military unit, so we can’t send any
more mail to the boys outside of the
U. S. whose address gives the name and
number (as well as location) of his unit.
So we are appealing to you, his par
ents, relatives, friends. If you know
the correct address of any of the boys
listed below please send it to us. It
will mean a penny card and a minute
of your time and may mean a lot to
him. Better yet, send us his address
whether his name is on this list or not
and we will check it against the one
we have on file. Last know address
appears opposite the name.

Don’t turn them over. Not too much
