ELMO’S WHITE SUIT AND SKI SHOES SET HIM APART IN (continued from front page) 40 t 050 degrees, with promise of much colder weather and more snow later on. The only big City close to Camp Hale is Denver and Mitch ell, who has been there and to Colorado Springs, has praise for the kindness and considerate nesis of Western citizens. He has the same good word to say for the people of Illinois, at Camp Grant, where he was first station ed after leaving his Southern induction center. He’ll have to leave Roxboro Monday and take four more days of his precious fifteen day fur lough to travel back to Camp Hale. It means dayv and nights of riding on crowded trains, of standing up, or maybe, sitting on the floor and glad to do that, but he will not. mind. He ac cepts such situations calmly. Soldiers, he says, like college boys of other dayv, frequmtly travel on short rations as far as money ’is concerned. He, him self, left Camp Hale in such a hurry that his coin was really .limited, but all along .the way he found people who are willing and glad to help young soldiers. Without meaning any disre- the service you are getting elsewhere—come in and be pleasantly surprised! . -‘v-wr**' V I 5 Points to Remember: 1 I • We still have competent , mechanics • We still use genuine parts • We still check your car without charge • We have specially-designed tools to reduce repair time . We want to be helpful in your transportation problems AMERICAN HEROES BY LEFF Captain Anthony Hollub manned the top turret guna of his grounded plane to return the fire of the Jap air attack on Clark Field in the Philippines. Exposed to strafing planes, the New Mexico captain ran across the field for more ammunition when it was exhausted. He was ready to sacrifice his life to keep his guns blazing. How much can you in vest in Payroll Savings to help heroic fighters like Hollub to keep firing? U. S. Treasury Department spect to Camp Hale, Mitchell has j highest praise for Camp Grant, near Rockville and Chicago. It is a beautiful camp, with green grass and trees, neither of which is common at Camp Hale, a spot that is some ten thousand feet up in the mountains. At Grant there is really a colony of Person and Roxboro boys, about thirty in all and among them, Bert Dark; of Roxboro and Siler City, but in the whole of Camp Hale there is, besides himself, only one other Person man. Mitchell, who admits, to having goat meat once in a while, says the Army really feeds well and jhe looks it, well filled out, but j not fat. In a medical detachment 'ever since he went into the ser vice, he is a graduate of Roxboro high school. He knows of no par ticular reason why he was as signed to the ski-troopers, but he knows they are a bunch of | picked men, with a future job to do, although he will not say where. He likes being at home, of course, but he is one young sol dier, who seems to be enjoying his new life. Civilians used to pay fancy prices to go to places like Sun Valley, Idaho, to learn to ski. He geti; his free. It is an interesting life and different, i says Mitchell, with plenty of thrills as well as spills on snow covered mountain sides.
