Page Six THE MILL WHISTLE October 12, 1942 ON THE JOB FOR UNCLE SAM (Continued From Page Five) lished. That did me a lot of good and I’m certain the same is true of any of the fellows away from home. Keep me on the mailing list and I’ll always consider you a close friend; if you don’t you’ll become just one of my best of enemies. If any of you “guys” get a chance to see this, write if you will. Do you hear me talking, “Slim” Samuels? Thanks very much Marshall Field and Dummy Newman; it’s good to have had the privilege of knowing each of you. Respectfully and admiringly yours, WILLIAM C. FAYNE (Bill) 1st Lieut., Med. Adm. Corps. Ft. Geo. Wright, Wash. Dear Dummy: I have received sevefal copies of The Mill Whistle and enjoyed them very much. This paper is really swell for the fellows in the servied. I’m sure that all the men formerly connected with Marshall Field appreciate the work you are doing in making this paper possible. My address has been changed several times in the past few months and I would appreciate your changing my ad dress on your mailing list in order that I may receive the paper a little earlier. We are starting a new division out here and as yet we have received very few men to fill out the division. I’m hoping that we will receive some N. C. boys in the future, for there are only a few men out hbre from N. C. The other day I dropped into a store in Corwallis to buy some sheets. Look ing around, I noticed a number of blankets on a counter. On closer ex amination, I discovered that most of them were manufactured by Marshall Field & Co. I fooled around with the blankets a little bit and started getting homesick, so I had to get out before the salesman sold me one. Thanks again for the paper, and I’m looking forward to receiving the next issue of The Mill Whistle. LT. D. C. WILLIAMS, Co. F, 383rd Infantry, \ Camp Adair, Oregon.

GENERAL OFFICE (Continued From Page Four) was taken by complete surprise and that the attack was made without the loss of a single life. The enemy is al ready oh the way to a concentration camp, to be interned for the duration of this war—after that—oh well, we will wait and see what happens. Neal Boring led the attack and due to the cool, quiet and brave manner in which he conducted himself, we are sure that he will be awarded the highest dec oration for bravery. Neal rushed right into the enemy camp, grabbed Miss Johnsie Fagg, rushed her to South Caro lina and they were married Sunday, October 4, 1942, leaving all their friends gapping and sighing. No kidding! Johnsie and Neal all your friends are wishing for you all the happiness in the world. Miss Rachel Cowan is casting her lot with the Accounts Payable Department.
