iiag to our cause.
■nLint^s arc happening fast these days, and it’s'hard to
keep up v;ith you. All of you are doing a sivell job, and
vje home folks are so proud of you we are about to burst,
I am carrying my head high these days as George,
writes that he has received official credit for destroy
ing one Gorman fighter plane, We do no'c lilce to think
of our boys having to engage in such work, but it has to
be done, and v/e are very, very proud of him for contx-ibu^
This- is vacation time in the office, and the staff of the Hoover Rail is pretty
well shot, but vre arc just putting a-little more push to it, so that you boys will '
. not fail to get your magazine on time. You always make extra effort when called on,
so ;ve ivill do the same thing,
V/ith Charlie Fomey, Jr. in the service, we have had to malce some changes in the
running of the mill, but everyone is entering into the thing mth enthusiasm, and wo
vdll carry on until his return, which we trust will be in the not too distant future
Vfe Icnov; you boys would like to be here especially at this time to feast on some
of the fine watermelons being brought in. We have not had mrjrxy in the office as wo
hear the crop on Maple Creek and at Belvrood was not so good this year.
You should see our Honor Roll these days. It is getting so L-irge that it almost
covers the window, and v;e have other n.araes to add just as soon as we can get them. It
takes several months to get the najnos after the boys leave, which we do not like, as
we would like to put them up immodiately, but just have to do the best wo can.
Occasionally we see one. of OUR BOYS at home on furlough, and it really does make
the girls wear a winning snile, but we do not see as many as v;e v;ould like. However,
we know j’-ou are busy at your work, and vie will have to wait until you have completed
your task before we can expect to see many of you, Vfe pray for you every day, and
hope from the bottom of our hearts the war will soon be over.
Some of you boys are swell about writing to us, vjhilo others have never written
us, and we certainly would appreciate hearing from all of you at any time you find
time to T.Tite, as'your letters add so much to the paper, and v;e enjoy reading your
letters ourselves.
The Hoover Rail sv;arms with checker players these'do.ys, and there are many arg
uments about the relative skill of the different moves, but they all have a good time
at it, and it gives the crowd a big laugh.
Take care of yourselviis, be good soldiers, fight a good fight, and remember we
nrajdhg and pulling for you vdth all our mi^t.
Geo, H. Hart.
