INTERESTING ITEMS CONCERNING LOCAL BOYS AT CAMP (We wish to announce that starting this date a column will by sent to this paper, by Staff Sergeant James T. Martin, ap pointed as company reporter. This is the first of a series of articles concerning the men of this company for the benifit of families and friends—Editor) By Staff Sergeant James T. Martin In starting our first column, we will drop back to the begining of our trip to Tennessee. Tuesday morning everything was being prepared for a final in spection preparatory to the trip, the men being assigned to trucks and ambulances. The company go ing by route No. B, with their assigned serial, while a detach ment going by route No. A, with Sgt. Martin in charge of them accompanying Company E. of the 105th Med. Regt. Leaving i<ort Jackson Wednes day morning, the convoy met a splendid welcome in each town that it passed through. The crowds gave them a big send through with cheers and waving flags. The spirits of the men soared high at such an ovation. It was something new. Wonder ful. Such gratitude from such a throne nf neonie. Somethin^ some of the boys had never ex perienced before. Arriving in Athens, Ga., that night, camp was pitched and the boys allowed to see the town. What a town. A city that wont be forgotten soon. For days from every mouth you could hear, “What a city”. Thanks a million, friends. We hope to see your fair city of Athens again soon. Soon as you started to walk a round town, some one would take you in his car, or guide you over the entire town; trying in some small way to do their part in mak ing the boys happy. Breaking camp Thursday morn ing. The convoy proceeded through the mountains. The most beauti ful scenery in the world lay along the route. For miles and miles you could see. Nothing to ob struct your view. Beautiful lakes, river and mountain streams. A fisherman’s paradise. A land of romance. Something the men will never forget. Arriving in Chattanooga, Tenn., camp was again made for the night. The men being allowed to sightsee the town where a hear ty welcome was again prepared for them. Many new friends being made there. Leaving there Friday morning on the last leg of the trip, which was made in three days. The convoy entered the mountains a gain. TTp and down and around winding roads, receiving a wel come from all the Tennessee mountaineers. This being the first time some of the boys had ever been ir the mountains, it won’t be for gotten so easily. Arriving in our bivoauc area camp was pitched, whereupor every one hit a bee line for th< canteens for a refreshing drink Cigarettes and other things tha a soldier likes. The boys being allowed to tak< in Nashville, Term., the past week end, where the Grand Old Open was filled to its capacity. Thi soldier boys were given a joyou welcome by the people of Nash ville, and were admitted free t< the Grand Old Opera. While then I had the pleasure of meetinj the entire cast. The high light of the day comei at mail call. Boy, oh, boy! Mai from home, sweethearts and fri ends goes over big. Some of th1 boys receiving as many as tei and twelve letters per day. Whei everything is quiet, turn aroum three times and guess what yoi see. Letter writing on top o letter writing. Somebody is going to get some mail. The boys are having a swell time combined with hard work at times makes them healthy and happy. But the big laugh is still on PFC Milton T. Rogers. Boy is he getting the old razz. Milton being over at the 120th Inf. hav ing fun with the boys over there. He made some sort of a wager with the boys concerning a pretty little skunk. Now this Tennes see mountain skunk is not like the North Carolina ones. But Milton did not know that. So he says, "I can tame him in twenty minutes after I catch him. Just watch my stuff.” Well, anyway, I personally, don’t think that he got him. Neither do the rest of the boys. These mountaineers claim that rain was scarce until we came down here, and now they say they are getting too much. They really need it. Speaking of mountains, you hear this and that about them and their muzzle loading gun3. Well, as the boys put it, they forgot to mention then about their pretty daughters. Oh, well, we are always finding something new. The men have foot balls, base ball mitts and soft balls and numerous other things along, with which they are busy playing with every chance they get. Recreation sure goes a long ways now-a-days in making one content. Now in closing this little col umn, I would personally like to ask the many friends of the men UUIO XV VX — card. Because it is really appre ciated by them. So all together. Let’s send them in. Watch this column again next week. LITTLETON Mrs. A. K. Mustian and child ren of Warrenton visited her mo ther, Mrs. J.
