Dear Mrs. Wingate,
Just a few lines in behalf of
your son, Charlie Suddeth. I’ve
known him for more than two
years. He and 1 were very close
friends. It seems as if 1 know
you too. I wrote several letters
to you for Charlie.
Mis. Wingate, when 1 left
Charlie was getting along fine.
I told him 1 would write to you.
Sorry I couldn't get to write
sooner. If there is anything I can
tell you about Charlie I will be
glad to do so.
I will close. Awavs a friend.

Mr. Fred K. Houser, Pub.

Dear Fred:
After waiting a long time to
write since the last time that
you heard from me, I wish to
thank you for every effort that
you have put forth to get the
home town paper to all of the
boys that are away from home.
If everyone gets as much good
from the weekly news as I do I
am sure that you will be more
than showered with many thanks
when the time comes for the
home town hoys to be returning
again to take up their jobs and
to again do their best to become
worthy citizens in their civilian
life as they have pioved to be
solders in their army life. We
sure appreciate the opportunity
to be able to get all of the news
from home and all of the friends
and loved ones in whom we have
a lot of interest in some of the
things that they are doing while
we are away from home.
Wish it were permissible for
me to tell you and others there
what a v-erv nice place this is in
comparison to the many ideas
that are in the minds of the peo
ple there. I have enjoyed my
stay here and have many nice
things by which I might remem
ber my stay here. Am getting
along very well with my work
and intend to do the best that is
possible while I am here so that
I might feel that my stay here has
not been a waste of time -and ef
fort to myself. There are many
important things to be done be
fore this affair can be brought
to a successful and satisfactory
finish and with the help of the
people on the home front along
with all that the boys away from
home might be doing we are
doing our 'best to see that the
job will not have to be done
again in a few years. The news
headlines are looking so much
better now and we hope that they
continue to get better for us.
Hear finite often from some of
the boys in service and was sor
ry to learn about Roy Lee. Only
trust that such reports will he
few and far between. I write to
several of the boys that I have
gotten their address from the
paper and am glad for. the op
portunity to correspond with
them. Thanks again for sending
the paper as often as possible.
Sincerely vours,

Dear Fred,
I have been thinking of writ
ing you for s)me time, but time
passes down here so fast, I have
n’t got around to it. 1 have been
getting along tine since I came
ba$k from my vacation, except
this tropical 'neat. It sure has
been hot down her# this summer.
When the thermometer hoovers
from 85 to 96 every day and
no breeze it’s getting pretty hot
96 is the hottest it has been
since I came down here.
Fred I sure did enjoy reading
the 37th Anniversary Edition of
the Eagle. The picture of the
old school building brought back
memories I shall never forget.
In that building is where I spent
my first day in school, and I still
have at home the cloth back
book I learned my letters during
my first day in school. The Eagle
ihat. came today also brought
back sweet memories of my high
school days when I took the
wrapper off the Eagle today and
saw our high school baseball
teams pictures. I can’t hardly
believe it has been 27 years ago.
I shall always remember the
13th day of May 1916 for that
day we lost the State Champion
ship to Clayton 1 to 0 Am mail
ing you another cocoa-nut to-1
morrow and in the package will ,
be two Key W’est out post pap
ers and also a folder of the Cosa

ty. In one of those outposts you 1
will see a Marine Sergeant. His
name is Charles Paschal), a
brother of Ben Paschal who play- |
ed baseball for the Charlotte :
baseball club several years ago.
In the other outpost you will see

Dear Fred,
Received your very nice letter j
a few days ago. and am Very |
grateful to hear from you. es
pecially that everything is fine
for you. Since our censor is al
ways “on the hall” , I have good
excuses for not writing so often,
however, he has loosened up re
cently. and will now permit me
to tell you that since I’Ve been
out of the States, I have oeen to
such places as Pago Pago. Samoa
and Auckland, New Zealand, of
which I spent some time at both
places. We’ve also been other
places, of which I can’t mention
At present we are back on a
tropical island again. We have
parrots here. Everything is fine
as could possibly be expected.
Only this morning the good
Chaplain conducted church ser
vices in a cocoanut grove, and
now I can hear the boys blend
ing their voices to old familiar
hymns in the distance. I ll go
next Sunday if 1 don’t have any
letters to write, and if the Chap
lain comes hack. He sure has a
big job to do. but he does it well
You asked about Robah Griggs
Yes. I know where he is, but I
can't tell you where, and in the
event I get near his outfit I’ll
sure look him up.
Your recent anniversary edi
tion reached me last week, and
ivas it a Pip. I carried it to all
these boys who had been accus
ing me of being from a small
hick town, and convinced them
that nothing less than a city
. could produce such a large fine
newspaper. I really gav'e them
the “word”. How can you get
out such a paper as that was
with ‘Rat” Carpenter and I
both away. By the way, I got
he “Eagle” with a picture of
myself in it. That also was a

To Raise $25 000
For Boy Scout Bldg.
GASTONIA. \ug. .‘il. — Aj
whirlwind campaign in the 11 :
counties comprising the Piedmont j
area of the Boy Scouts of Amer
ica to raise $25,000 to rebuild ;
and re-equip the camp messhall 1
and kitchen at the council’s j
camp at Tryon was planned at a i
meeting of the executive com- :
miitee Sunday ,at the home ol j
Nelson .Jackson, council vice *
presi lent in Tryon. The messhall
and kitchen was completely de- 1
stroyed by fire the last week of
the current camping season.
The week of September 5th
was designated as the time for
this campaign which is to be di
rected by a special committee.
Plans and details are being wor
ked out b> a committee composed j
of Nelson Jackson and Major j
Bernard Sharp of Tryon and i
Scout Executive Bud Schiele. In j
each of the 11 counties the vice
president has been asked to head
the drive and to make immedi- I
ate plans for the financial cam
paign. The vice president lot
Gaston county is F. A. White
side.
At Sunday’s meeting presided
over by Council President Bis
marek Capps, details of proposed
plans for the new building were
discussed and it was decided to
have architects plans prepared
immediately. In view of the fact
that the number of (Scouts in
camp has grown steadily from
year to year which has resulted
in overtaxing the capacity of
the messhall and kitchen us well
as other camp facilities it was
decided that the wise.thing to do
would be to make the new build
ing large enough to uccommo
ciacker. One ot the Corporals
here clipped it out ami tacked it
upon a cocoanut tree in the
middle of Camp. It’s strange
what vulgarity a parrot can pick
up in such a short time.
Suppose I'd better close for
now. It's “chow” time. You re
member Dewey McCoy, Jr. He
is in my outfit, and is a real Ma
rine. He asked me to give you
his best wishes. Write as soon as
possible, as mail is very impor
tant here. Please don't forget
to remember me to all the boys,
will write again.
Best wishes

date future increases in numbers
It was also decided to enlarge
the kitchen and add freezing
and cooling rooms for the more
efficient handling of meats and
other foodstuffs.
Because of the scarcity of la
bor and materials, the rebuilding
of this hall will probably ret|iiirc
much more time than would he
necessary tinder normal condi
tions. hence the imperative need
of raising the necessary lands for
its rebuilding immediately.
In the 18 years the camp has
been operated this is the first lire
loss sustained. Insurance on the
building and contents totaled ap
proximately $5.00(1 which will
leave $20,000 to be raised over
the council area by popular sub
scription.
That there is widespread inter
est on the part of loyal Scouts.
Scooters and business men
throughout these 1 1 counties has
already been demonstrated in
that several checks and cash
contributions have been sent in
voluntarily. That the raising of
the necessary funds will he ac
complished without delay is the
firm 'belief of the council officials
The counties comprising the
council area are flaston, Cleve

Iredell. Burke. Catawba, Cald
