PAGE TWO Nathan Redman Writes To Wife Received two letters and a card from you today and was real glad to hear from you and glad you were well. As for myself, I am feel ing fine. I also received a letter from Mother and Dad. Yes, I do wish I were there to play with Bobbie for I know he does like to play out of doors. Hope it won’t be long before I can come home to see all of you. I did make my rating this time after fifteen months I finally made it and I am a little happier about the whole thing. All the boys thinks it is nice to have me as their petty officer. Tell all the folks hello for me. Hopidg to see you soon and to hear from you. Cpl. Elmo Gregory Writes To Mother From Italy Just read your letter of February 4th, the first since early January, seems that mail really travels slow, guess the longer a fellow waits the more anxious he is to hear from home. Was glad to know that alt was well at home and am very pleased to hear that Isaac is writ ing often. I know he is sweating out the day when he can come home for ten days. I'd like to hear from him, evidently he has no de sire to write since he has been in the army or perhaps he doesn't have the time for much letter writ ing. Mom, I’m glad you have had the A.R.C. checking up on Coy. It has been quite a while now since either of us heard from him. I'm sure there has been ample time for any letters to reach hs. Mom, I know you are thinking the same thing that I hope will not come true. I hope you will be prepared for whatever information received. Hope you are not alarmed at the way I express myself but the pos sibilities are before us so we might as well face them calmly. Mom, it is simply all right if you can't find any cigars for me.

R. Harrill, state 4-H Club leader in North Carolina and coiitest chairman in the Southern Region, joined in stressing the need for efficient production and marketing. “Just as we have had to em ploy efficient methods to increase wartime food production," Har rill reported, "it will be essential for tomorrow’s vegetable growers to know what to grow, now 10. grow it and how to market qual ; ily produce. Winners in the 1944 ; contest of our association proved j that better methods pay divi ! dends whether utilized in back ! yards or in commercial acreages of vegetable crops." Awards for the fifth annual contest include a national cham pionship of SSOO, four regional awards of S2OO, sectional scholar ships of SIOO and state awards Contest leaders urged early en rollment because a study course precedes the actual vegetable production by each contestant.
