Shown here are a group of Leaksville Township men in training at Camp Croft, S. C., but by the time
you see this picture most of them will have been assigned to other sections. They are, left to right: Cpl.
Roy Purdue, Pervy Bolick, Herman Gann, William Lovick, Lt. Col. Bennet Nooe, Ed Gerringer, James
DeHart, Landon Willis and Roy Martin. All except Lt. Col. Nooe and Cpl. Perdue are members of the
37th Infantry Training Battalion. 1st Lt. Malcolm “Mac” East was transferred just before this picture
was made.—Photo by U. S. Army Signal Corps, Camp Croft, S. C.
Pictures Of
Beauty Queen!
On pages 2, 3 and 4 of this issue you
will find the pictures of Marshall Field
& Co. girls who were selected by their
co-workers to represent their respec
tive mills and offices in our Beauty
Contest.
It is a natural impulse for the service
man to vote for the girl who represents
the mill he formerly worked in, so in
order that our “Miss Manufacturing
Division, 1944” shall be chosen solely
for her beauty we have numbered the
pictures so you guys in foxholes and
on wind swept decks can look ’em over
and take your pick.
We don’t envy you! It wil be tough
picking one from this bevy of them.
SAVE THAT PICTURE
FOR US!
It is with regret that we are for
ced to discontinue printing pictures
of children for the present. There
are 40 pictures in this issue and 55
on our desk, with more coming in
daily. Lack of space compels us to
take this step but we hope to re
sume printing these pictures later.
Please, therefore, do not send us any
more at present.
Mike: ’Tis a foine kid ye have there;
a magnificent head and noble features.
Say, could ye lend me a couple of dol
lars?
Pat: I could not. ’Tis me wife’s child
by her first husband.

Quoting from an article in the
Greensboro Daily News for April 26th:
“Pfc. Dannie T. Jones (writing to his
parents) said a German bullet pene
trated his helmet and inflicted a head
wound from which he is now recover
ing in a hospital . . .
Private Jones wrote that he had been
repeatedly in action and that he lay in
an Italian olive grove at night, wrapped
in a blanket made in Leaksville-Spray,
N. C.
V . . . —
I just heard him say he was in close
touch with the heads of several big
organizations.
Yes, he’s a barber.
