Honesty Pays In Several Ways . . . Private John Vetter, Fort Bragg soldier, is convinced that honesty is the best policy. Recently Private Vetter received a letter addressed to John Vetter at the Reception Center at Fort Dix, New Jersey. In it was a crisp new five dollar bill. After reading the letter, however, Pri vate Vetter found that it was not to him that he had received it by mistake. Tempted though he was to keep the five dollars and tear up the letter, Private Vetter sent it, com nlete with banknote, back to the sender, Miss Edna Banker, of Evansville, Indiana, explaining that she had the wrong soldier. So impressed with his honesty was Miss Banker that she showed his letter to the girls who work in her office. As a result, he received mail from thirty young ladies re questing that he correspond with them. In addition to this he re ceived cash gifts totaling ten dol lars. The upshot is that P.rivate Vetter gained rather than lost by his hon esty and is also enjoying the priv- lege of writing thirty nice young ladies from Indiana postage free New Tires Am Recaps Avail To Some Far J Farmers can qualify k Rev.
