Sergt. Bennett Writes
i/
The Reporter has received a
very interesting letter from Sergt.
I Lem Bennett, who is at Fort
| Bragg. Lem is a son of W. V.
| Bennett of the Jewell neighbor
i hood, Danbury Route 1, and is a
j very efficient officer. He has been
jin the army for a number of
• years. . '
Lem was reared in the Buck
Island hills where they do things
right, and among other qualities
they have the faculty of making
tobacco grow sweet and waxy and
orange-colored. And by the same
token Lem makes a fine soldier.
He is just the sort of fellow that
will smash the Japs when he gets
a chance at them.
