In reading the different columns I noticed ycu have several complimentary letters from some of our most prominent men in the County, This is another good example, of just hov; much your paper is thou^t of throughout the county and state. It is always a pleasant evening for me on the day I get the "Hoover Rail", I am thoroughly convinced that you couldn't have done any thing else that would help we fellows in service any more than what you are doing. There just isn't anything better than news from home, I had a letter from lim Southard a few days ago. It was really swell hearing from Jim and I hope to see him, I get back down to Australia. It seems as though v/e just traded places - I came to New Guinea and he v^^ent to the place where I was stationed for quite sometime. He seemed to be getting along fine, and there is a possibility he might be seeing you soon. According to a nev; regulation with which you are no doubt familiar, he is eligible to return to the States, for the time he has spent overseas, I am sure all of you will be glad to see Jim and certainly he will be thrilled to see his family, and all of yo\i. Please'extend my congratulations to Miss Bridges and Miss Whisnant for winning the beauty contest. It is easy to see why they came out v^inners. They are both very charming young ladies.
