-.ur _ C'f' \^-0!lSHiP ^.flKOi^'^ WA»^T ^ ffjjri fCAR Dear Boys;~ Since writing you last we have had the pleasure of having Georgei Jr. with \as on a furlough, and you know how much his mother and I enjoyed seeing him,'but he has report ed to Pueblo, Colo,, so we judge that we will not see him again soon, . Foy Southards is home and was nice'enough to pay us a visit, which we enjoyed to the utmost, and hope he will come again. He looks well, and says he feels fine, so we trust that he will soon be 1005^ recovered from the wounds he suffered, Vfe are having some fearfully hot weather and the would-be Victory Gardeners are finding the going tough as they cannot raise vegetables without water, and we are hav ing practically none of that these dtiys, but are hoping that the rains will come before it is too late. The boys coming home from the European theatre are trickling in and it is good to see them, but we hope ttiey will come more rapidly in the future. We hear over the ra dio that they are landing’ daily, so judge our boys will get back in .due time, and that will be a happy day for us. This is vacation’time in the office and each week some face is missing but we carry on for the absent one, as we are glad to see them get a rest from'the work, and we trust th?.t each and' every one of them will have a grand time while away. It seems, from the accounts, that we are really going to work on Japan in earnest, and we look for even greater attacks in the future, so know we are tearing their count ry all to pieces, and it is just a matter of how much punishment they can take. We are hoping they will soon reach the end of their endurrlnce, but will not get happy until we hear that the order has been given to cease'firing, and we pray earnestly each day'that we will hear those words in the near future, and v;e will ^ovv that the war is'over. Wo will really put on a celebration then, for that will be the day for rejoicing. The Boy Scouts are at their annual camp now, with John Shuford, their Scoutmaster* They are at Lake Lanier, and we know they are having a grand time. Probably most of you boyB recall similar trips when you were Scouts, and ^ve feel sure you have the most ple asant recollections of the trips you took, ViTe have a fine Scout Troop, and the writer is voiy, very proud of'them as he feels that the Boy Scouts is about the greatest org anization in the world, and loves every Scout he sees. The Shelby team of the Junior American Legion baseball tournament is going like a house afire, and taking all comers as they meet. They have wen six games so far and , 3,ost none, vAiich is perfect, and we feel ^re they should be named the regional victors, and they should go much further than that. We wish them ali kinds of luck, Vfe arc hot getting as many letters from the boys as we would like but hope YOU have ;vritten. Sincerely,
Hot Off the Hoover Rail
