Pvt. Zeb Wease, son o f Mr. & Mrs. Carme V/ease of Lin-
colnton, spent several days here recently visiting Mr,
and Mrs. King V/case and other relatives. Zeb has been
recently liberated from a German prison Camp and is now
enjoying a well deserved 60-day rest at home. He was im
prisoned at various times at Stalag U-A, Stalag 3-a,
and also at Stalag 12-a - he says that all the atrocity
stories we hear are absolutely true and do not exaggerate
the bestiality of the German Race. Pvt. Zeb was wearing
the Combat Infantryman's Badge, also the European Theatre
. At the end of his furlough, Zeb will report to Camp Butne:
The writer certainly enjoyed talking with Zeb and hopes
the Best of Luck in all ho undertakes.
Pfc. Thelbert V/illiams arrived here today, June 20th. Thelbert has been serving in
Germany and was wounded several weeks ago. He is now receiving treatment at the
Lawson General Hospital in Atlanta, but they gave him a 30-day furlough, after which
he will return there for further treatment. Thelbert has five youngsters, two boys
and three girls, can't you just imagine the terrific thrill these kids got out of
their Dad's homecoming. Come by and see us while you're home, Thelbert, we'd be very
glad to see you.

Dr, and Ifrs. A.C. Edwards spent the week-end of June 8th in Raleigh, N.C., where they
were joined by their son, Lt.(jg) Byard Edwards. Byard is a Dentist at Camp Peary, Va,
but finds it hard to get to Lawndale on his week-ends, so the family compromised by
meeting him in Raleigh, which was lots of fun, I'm sure,

Osborne at Greenville, S.C, They had loads of fun sight-seeing at the Air Base,

Croft Orchestra who were playing for one of the dances,
