So ’many good things have been happening to us lately .that we are, completely durria- founded. We are speechless for once in our lives. Can you imagine that IU Maybe you can^t now, but when you see how short this article is you'll be convinced. After living in solitude (well almost), boredom and hard work for many long months, wo TAonder how ranch longer our hearts eltg going to be able to hold out. The first thing is that Foy is at home and surely you have at least a vague idea of what a glad reunion he and Anne had a few days ago. He has thirty days, and already the highway betv/een Lawndale and Fallston is-beginning to wear thin. The next great miracle'happened when everyone consented to let us have our vac ations the same week,' Then, we wore lucky enough to get reservations at Virginia Beach for a. week. So, tomorrow (July I4) we will be on our merry way - slap-happy and happy-go-luckyl For the past two or three months we have been on the beach in spirit, and if we can just live through'today and tomorrow well 7-, These days v*ien the mercury soars, vio see most of the younger set heading for the ^ver, A lot of the older people too, of course. Quite a few of the girls have acquired a good tan lying down on the sandbar, Josephine Towory, for instance. We must say that on her it looks good with her blonde hair and blue eyes. More than a few vho frequent the old "swimming hole" have gotten mixed up with a bunch of chiggers, and seme stayed out in the sun a ^ttle too long and have been nursing sunburns for a week or two. We hope that we don’t bask in the sun so' long next week that we can*t wear our clothes when we get back# Since the war is over in Europe, we thou At wo would be seeing a lot of you bojrs ^ before now, but Foy seems to be the only one who has returned, V/e hope it wcai*t be long until everyone in Europe and the Pacific will hear those heavenly words, "You’re going home," Lib & Anne ^ -M- • ' (This item from Cpl, Rush Hamrick’s column in Cleveland Times) Norfolk, Va,~ Here’s a little problem in "overlapping arithmetic" that really amused v mo. It was taken from a book titled "Brooklyn'Fellow," I pass it on to you as followa: "Population of the United Statesj 135>000, (XX), . . • "People over 65 years of age,'37>000,000,‘Left to do the worfc,'98,000,000* "People under 21 years of age, 54>000,000, Left to'do the work, 000,000,' ' "People working for the federal government, 21,000,000, Left to do the work, 23,000,000. ... . . , • "People in the armed forces, 10,000,000,'Left to do the work, 13>000,000, .
