V \ iiki Dear Boys: The old saying is that ’’every one has troubles except the grocery clerk, and he has troubles too”, and this applies to the Editorial staff of the HOT OFF THE HOOVER RAIL for this nonth, as v/e lost Miss Eaker, ■who cut a lot of the stencils for us, and who is now in training with the Marines, and JL'i Osborne has not found tirae to write his article, so I ai'i pinch-hitting for hiai. We could not let you boys down so you will get your paper as usual, although it my not be as good as soae of the former issues. If it is any hotter where you are than it has been for the past few days here, Hell will feel lilce a suninior resort if you have to go there, which we do not thinlc will be the case. Every one is extronely busy hero, and we find little tine for anything but trying to keep Govcrnniont orders going out so that you boys i-iay have, at least, all the tv/ino you need, as the folks hero are dotemiined that you shall not lack through any fault of theirs. VfQ are iiighty, r.iighty proud of the work you boys have done so far, and while we know we have a long way to go before we v/in this war, at the srjie time we feel that if you continue to fight in the future as you have in the past, it will not take nearly so long as it would have had you boon just ordinary soldiers and not good Aj*.iorican ones. At my suggestion, we show a picture of the bridge over the river on our front page,as we believe this is something out of the ordinary for ^'■ou to show your buddies. Not every town in the’world has a crooked bridge to show, so you v/ill have something new to spring on thera. We have erected a plaque in the window at the corner of the mill on which we have listed the names uf the boys who have gone out from the mill into the armed forces, as v;e are proud of you and wish every une who comes here to see hovj patriotic we are, and that long list really shows them, as nothing else could* Our onl^^ sport for this year is checkers but they are working overtime at that oi the HOOVER RAIL, It is not a rare sight to see several games going on at the some time with plenty of ”ld.bitzers”standing on the side lines. Of course, the usual arjunents tc?ico place, but it is all in fun, and v/o all got some good laughs out of it. It is about tir;ie for canteloupos and watermelons to get ripe and we arc hoping our fojrmer friends will not forget us when that happens, as there were no poaches and apples, and we are getting tired of beans and more beojis, iiVe will see that you got an EXTIlii -cood paper next month but hope you will find s oiie articles in this one •^^hich vjill be of interest to you. Sincerely, 0 Geo, H, Hart
