PVT. CROSS IS MEMBER OF FERRY UNIT With the Fifth Army, Italy— •pvt. James Cross, son of Mr. and Mrs. L. Cross of Roanoke Rapids, is a member of the 310th Medical Battalion, which resorted to 13-ton prime movers to ferry wounded across flooded mountain streams in Italy as the Fifth Army fought through the Gothic Line. Another innovation made neces sary by the same floods was use of a collecting company’s station in the rear as a clearing station. Swiftly rising flood waters had made an island of the battalion’s regular clearing station. The 310th has supported the 85th "Custer” Division since the divis ion went into action along the Garigliano River last spring. The battalion's litter bearers found five mile treks through forbidding country a commonplace thing as the 85th broke through the Gustav and Hitler Lines. The battalion, which handled more casualties than any other battalion under the army corps which embraces the 85th Division, received a commendation from the corps commander. The 310th then was commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Ralph M. Patterson of San Antonio, Texas. The 310th has lost 13 ambu lances and two jeeps in action, but its motor maintenance seetion has established a reputation for keeping an adequate number of vehicles in operation under the most difficult circumstances. Four of the lost ambulances were hit by shell fragments. Three others were knocked out by strafing, and six were carried away in flash floods. One of the jeep casualties was a victim of German artillery fire. The other one was stranded in an inaccessible place when a trail was washed out. , Present commander of the 310th is Lieutenant Colonel Robert P. Campbell of San Antonio, Texas.

Letters From Our Boys Somewhere in Belgium, January 30, 1944 Dear Sir: While I have a few moments to spare I will drop you a line to let you know I’ve changed ad dress. While I- was in the States the Herald came to me pretty regularly and I enjoyed it quite a lot and rm sure it would be a great help to me now that I’m over here. We hardly have time to write here for we are always pretty busy and I wish to say to all my fri ends that if I haven’t / written them since I came overseas I’m very sorry but it can’t be helped because duties always come be fore pleasure. I hope they under stand, and if they care to continue to write me I promise to answer each time I get a chance. Well I must close now but I wish to thank you again for the Herald that is doing so much to the boys in the armed forces. Sincerely yours, Pvt. Leon Taylor, A. S. N. 44011590, A. P. O. 30, C/O Post Master, New York, N. Y. . .. . Christian Science Society Sunday Service, 11 a. m. Wednesday, 8 p. m. Reading Room open every Tues iay and Friday from 3 to 5 p. ra. rhe public is cordially invited to ittend our Service sand visit our Heading Room. Subject Sunday: “Mind.” ‘Soul” was the subject of the Les ion-Sermon in all Christian Sci ence Churches and Societies on Sunday, February 18. The Golden Text was from Psalms 62:1. “Truly my soul wait ;th upon God: from him cometh -ny salvation.” Among the citations which com prised the Lesson-Sermon were the following from the Bible: “And now, Isreal, what doth the Lord thy God require of thee, but to fear the Lord thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, To keep the command ments of the Lord, and his statu tes, which I command thee this day for thy good" (Deut. 10: 12,23) The Lesson-Sermon also includ ed the following passages from the Christian, Science textbook, “Sci ence and Health with Key to the Scriptures” by Mary Baker Ed dy: “What are the demands of the Science of Soul? The first de mand of this Science is, ‘Thou shalt have no other gods before me.’ This me is Spirit. Therefore the command means this: Thou shalt have no intelligence, no life, no substance, no truth, no love, but that which is spiritual. The second is like unto it, ‘Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.’ It should be thoroughly understood that all men have one Mind, djp: God and Father, one Life, Truth, and Love.” (Page 467).
