The drivers , not only drive the ambulances but they are trained to furnish emergency first aid to the patients in their care. They also service and take care of their ambulances.

Some of the service wives write letters to the USO as much as much as thirty days prior to the expected time of their arrival to inquire about the climate and as to what clothes they should bring for the four seasons of the year.

MINTZ COMMANDS STATION OVER IN ENGLAND (Continued From Page Oi?) pervised. What I mean is that I must stay on this station. You have probably heard that I command a station. This responsibility has fallen to me three different times since I arrived here and this time I have had the station two months. "I get the State Port Pilot fairly regularly and enjoy reading it so much. I think that you and Mrs . Harper are doing a grand job with it. I also get the Sunday News and Observer. Both come about one month late. A few nights ago I heard Sgt. Bill Richardson on the radio, describing a battle in France. I am under the impression that he is the son oi W. H. Richardson, of Raleigh and a nephew of the Lewis Brothers at Whiteville. This person is a war correspondent and my recollections are that young Richardson got in this work early in the game. I brought over an officer and a Non-Com, both former newspapermen, who are now in this work. "You and many others wonder why some of us fellows over here do not give you more news and particularly some for publication. We are prohibited from releasing anything for publication except through the Public Relations office. This is as it should be because freedom of speech and press do not aid in the successful prosecution of a war. I hope that our people will be content with what the authorized press and radio releases can furnish.
