This may be a trivial matter to
you, but to us it is of primary
importance little red bugs which
have their ambition, making life
miserable. When you have to go
for a day without a bath, and that
bath when it comes, nothing more
than what you can do with about
four inches of water in a alow
moving creek. Whew!
Although this is not common
knowledge one of the main pur
poses of this Tennessee maneu
ver is' to train the soldiers of the
Second Army (and the 30th Di
vision, attached temporarily to the
Second Army, of course) in tac
tics of tank defense. It is a
long jump from learning the
theory of tank defense, to actually
applying it on the field so for the
most part, these; weeks on the
field in Tennessee are going to
be spent teaching the soldiers this
important phase of modern war
fare. To date, we have done little more
than basic groundwork. The first
battle was nothing more than a
short -field exercise similar to
what we had been experiencing at
Fort Jackson, This was to get the
men acclimatized to the terrain
of the region, and generally to get
the kinks out after the long ride.
The next exercises was a defense
against infantry attack. This time
the BLUES were very much out
numbered, but an orderly retreat
was made, so that everyone con
cerned was satisfied.
,
Now we are beginning a new
phase of the month's war games.
We are learning defense against
simulated tank defense. This be
gins, as do all new tactical phases,
with a tactical map exercise for
officers. After . this exercise is
completed, then the soldiers go to
the field to put into practice what
the officers direct. This time the
mechanized enemy is simulated
Finally will come the third phase,
defense against actual tanks,
which will take place as Soon as
the mechanized divsion arrives
in Tennessee. This division comes
from Fort Benning, and got to
Camp Forrest Tuesday.
This will be the final test, and I
believe the 120th Infantry is going
to come through with flying colors.
To show you how high we stand
in the estimation of our superiors,
on Monday, June the 9, the 120th
Infantry was given the all-impor-

young people held their June meet
ing in the Fines Creek Methodist
church Monday evening. The Rev.
Joe Shackford welcomed the group
and was followed by Longs Chapel
young people who gave the worship
program. Long's church won the
attendance banner.
The feature of the evening waa
the election of officers for tU new
year. Leaders selected by the
group are: President, Sue Cooke,
First church, Canton; vice presi
dent, Dick Bradley, Waynesville
Methodist church; secretary, Lou
Bell Boyd, Shady Grove church,
Jonathan Creek; treasurer, Mary
Finger, Dellwood Methodist church.

for the division in the retreat.
This was a very important man
euver. Simulated tanks were usea
against us, and altogether, the
retreat was about twenty mues
long, back to the Manchester,
Tenn, area where we started our
drive from a week ago.
By the time you read this, we
will be going through battles
against tanks. Can we stop them?
Remember; most of us have never
seen a tank. Against their de
fense, we have anti-tank guns, and
are supported by light artillery

let you know all about it next week.

"In a quiet country churchyard,
stands a maple on a hill. . . ." So
the song goes, and so also went
this Sunday morning. We, of
course, had our own service here
in the regimental bivouac area we
came in from the field for the
week-end and were stationed at a
small village named Beech Grove,
Tenn. Unfortunately, just as we
were finishing the first hymn, the
rain came down in sudden down
pour, so the service was concluded
with a prayer. All of our services
of course have to be out In the open.
The regimental church service is
at nine o'clock on Sunday morn
ing, however, and by eleven o'clock
the sun had come back out so a
crmin of ns decided to attend a
little church w had Seen ud the

would have been surprised to see
the congregation. No announce
ment or invitation had been ex
tended to the soldiers, but still
there were twice as many there
in uniform as there were civilian
members of the congregation, and
I imagine this was the case in
all the churches in the vicinity.
When you take into consideration
the fact that there are already al
most eighty thousand men on the
field, then it is not so surprising
that of this group you would have
so many go to church. Many of
them (and could I say us 7) nopea
just by chance that we would be
invited to a home-cooked Sunday
dinner. Who can blame us for
hnninir Th DeoDle are so kind
that many soldiers were invited
into the homes today for a meaL
I was not that fortunate.
T would like to mention some-
thinir which is very close to my
heart, and that is something which
t had to come tn the army td learn.
That is, that it is the people who
appear on the outside to nave so
little, who in reality have so much
in the way both of human kindness
and a hospitality which is rich
beyond description. As a sol
dier, if I were asking a favor,
wanted a drink of water, or some
thing of that nature, and had the
chance either of going to a big
house in some city, or to a small
white cottage on a hill far from
a city, I would chose the cottage
every time. There is no way of
nHpmiat.elv describing thn wonder
ful warmth of human friendship
you find in the Small house, witn
people who from the outside appear
to live in poverty. They are gen
erally most kind, and it makes
you want to do something in re
turn. If soldiers ever are called
on to give sacrifices and endure
the hardships of war, it will not
be in defense of an idea or a phil
osophy developed by some new
thought leader; it will be to de
fend the rights and liberties of
people like the MacDowells and
Farmers, who in their siniole ways
have shown so many of us how
democracy really should work:
not through the spouting of some
idealistic demagoguge, but through
the Simple acts of kindness per
formed by the Smiths and the
Joneses, after all the backbone
of America. That after all, is the
only thing worth living lor, and
so !
That's all for this week, folks.
