checker players. There was a visitor,
here from the north last week and i
accommodated the sergant. Later, it.
was found to be William Getty of Bos-j

Program for Third Motor Mechanics.
The Ninth company of the Third'
Motor Mechanics regiment is now J
busy each day rehearsing for the
minstrel show which they are going to
put on joon.

series of lectures and demonstrations

turned out to give their support
to the Third regiment.

to develop "some" team in a very
short time.

others dogs, but the Ninth company,
through the kindness of Lieutenant

quite attached to the boys in
the company.
This company is indebted to Camp
Physical "Director A. E. Bergman and
Director Hersfeld of Y. M. C. A. No.
