SOLDIER WRITES
Dear*Editor;
Well, it is Sunday, almost sun
set. It inis been a beautiful spring
like dajjr The boys ait "but in fron
passing the old apple around, mak
mg it appear almost like a big league
training camp.
We are minus a few men. Just re
cently the' band le d u battalion awaj
for some unannounced destination
probably to finish training and mala
ready for combat service somewhere
abroad. They were 1,200 stalwart
ar.d strong men with strong minds
and strong bodies with a determina
tion to win.
I went into my barrack the other
morning to get at my task--that of
letting it in shape, and saw a note
lying on an officer’s cot. It read,
•Good-bye Me. It has been a pleas
ure knowing you and I hope we meet
igain some where. If not on this
•arth let’s not miss being together
rt the final check-up. We are bound
o. Well, I am shaking hands with
mu for that good-bye.” It was sign
id, Charlie.’ Olficer Me came in
it lunch time, picked up the note,
md as he read it, tears rolled down
lis checks. He said, “Jackson, that
s what makes me mad as hell. One
if the best friends 1 ever bad is
tone. May never see him again.”
I was standing on Company Street
is the band went by and as the men
lassed with their packs strapped on
heir backs. I knew quite a few of
hem, and it was good-bye “Ted
ackson, Good-bye ‘Grandpappy’
ackson, Good-bye ‘Pops’, keep the
Id camp in shape. It won’t take us
iug. We are going to have a reun
in when it is all over back here at
^son." It was just a little sadden
ig. A lot of these men I have learn
d to like and admire Some cf
1! never see again. I almost wan.t
d to go with some of them, but
lankly they haven’t had to tie me
j keep me off the troop train.
They continued to yell ns they
assed, declaring, “Just wait until I
et at tiiose Japs. Take care of this
amp. We are going after the Japs.
Coughing
Here’s Easy Time-Tested
Way To Get Relief
Get after those distressing spells
of coughing and ease misery of
the cold the widely used Vicks
way... Boil some water. Pour it
Into a bowl. Add a good spoonful
of Vicks VapoRub, Then breathe
In the steaming medicinal vapors.
With every breath VapoRub’s
medication soothes irritation,
quiets coughing, helps clear head
and upper breathing passages.
FOR ADDED RELrEF ...At. bedtime
rub Vicks VapoRub on throat,
chest and bark Its poultice-vapor
action works for hours to bring
you comfort.
f
We’ll whittle down Germany in sijr
months and then Japan will bb
j bound to go.” That’s the spjru i„ this
j camp. *
Well, this camp is about/85 per
.cent northern troops. Ynyaji
Wheeler Martin should
j lle would feel at home. They are all
New York, Illinois, New Jersey
j Michigan, Rhode Island, Ohm and
| western Republicans. And they are
a fine bunch of soldiers. I get along
;> !'ry well with them myself.
That'll be all«for this time. I’ll be
j writing again some time.
