McCorley, of Base Hospital 33, now stationed in Ehgland: “"when we left the ship and march-' ed through town to our first camp we had a regular demonstration. There were no bands or fireworks—because it was all unofficial—but it seems that word was passed that the Americans were coming and the whole town turn ed out. The women and kids cheered and sang and cried—some ran along and caught the men’s hands, and some .gave them cigarettes and cakes. It was really very touching and there is no dou'bt that they are glad to see us.” Speaking of intensive farming, the letter continues: “EVery foot is cul tivated—not ten foot strips of weeds and brush each side of the fences, as we see at home. The whole country looks like a carefully managed truck farm, the houses—even those back in the country, are all neat and clean looking—and each house has at least a small bit of lawn and a flower .gar den.” 4t * « There is a report that when the next month’s pay checks come in each officer is going to deduct twenty-five dollars and buy war saving stamps.
