Dear Editor:
Just a few lines to let you know
what happened the other night.
Two of my shipmates and I were
sitting In a grill eating a ham
burger. I was feeling pretty badly,
being so far away from home. I
guess I was a little homesick be
cause it was so tar home and it is
the first time that I have been so
far. So we were talking and 1
was saying to them that I wish.I
could see someone' from back
home and about that tlmo two
Marines walked in and sat down
and ordered hamburgers and was
I surprised, for one was a very
good friend of mine, Joseph Lln-
ney. We talked a good deal about
home and I was very happy to see
someone from back home. It was
a strange coincidence. Joe Is sta
tioned aboard the Wasp, and I am
assigned to an L. C. I.
I like the navy o. k. and it
makes me very happy to see
someone I know real well.
I Yours truly,
TOMMY ANDERSON

Gentlemen: I have been re
ceiving your paper since January
and really don’t know what I
would do without it now if It were
to be stopped. It’s just like getting
mail from home. It is being sent
now through the goodness of my
loving mother, Mrs. Bessie Tur
ner, who could have thought of
nothing better. You all have been
doing a wonderful job back home.
Just keep it up which I know you
will and we won’t let you down
here. I have been noticing, too,
the Fourth War Loan drive you
all have on there and It sure
makes a fellow feel good to know
that ho has someone behind him
really working. You all are real
ly putting old North Wllkesboro
over the top with flying colors. I
am happy to say that I just re
cently won an expert medal for
the sub-machine gun and also a
good conduct medal, so all the
luck to you all.

Miners dig in a 30foot hole along a
street in Plttston, Fa., for the body of
Joel Ann Fulmer who was walking
on the spot when the ground col
lapsed. She was dead when fonnd.
Workers were hampered by two sub
sequent cave-ins. Approximately 400
tons of debris were taken from the
hole. Other cave-ins of coal mine
workings have occurred previously
in Plttston.
