Wednesday, Nov. 1, 1917 LETTERS FRO HAROLD BARRON 'lB, TELLS OF THE "SONNY SOUTH" I=l Wo are continuing our course In Ord nance at the arsenal under Captain .1. S Wood, w former West Point football player. The course will continue for about two week+, more and then somd of us will be eligible for warrants for sergeants and corporals, of ordnance and will be shifted to Ordnance Depots at the different cantonments The arsenal is located about three miles from the central section of the city, and about a mile from the en- Vallee to Camp Hancock. Wo are quartered In barracks and have beds, sheets, and pillows—rather luxurious furnishings compared with the tents. but oven at that they are ice-boxes at night. Whenever any one talks of the “sunny" south, you may be sure that ho is not speaking of the time between sunset and Henri. It may Bound foolish, but two of the fellows have purchased skating caps for head covering at night The town of Augusta hits about the nome population an Germantown, Phila delphia, and you can imogine the prob lem these people have of trying to entertain 30,000 soldiers who have al most doubled the population Broad Street reminds me of Atlantic Avenue. Atlantic City, and if you can Imagine that street almost entirely swept clear of girls and civilians and jammed with soldiers, you bate a picture of Marmi te after the soldiers "Jitney" in from the GIMP. Dissipation hcie lo similar to that in State College, with the exception that Bellefonte Is not duplicaed We are ar ranging a dnnco for the Ordnance Corps ut one of the hotels 'Teo , few of on know girla, and we are hoping that the 'Work horses" booked by the pat ronesses. will prove to he winners! One of the displeaeing features of the town Is the greed of some of the me, chnnts. Comparison of prices here and at Atlanta reflect discreditably on the merchants of this burg. The barbers work on commission, and ask thin ti tles cents for a fifteen cent hnircut. A trip to the barber is a thing to be dreaded bemuse your crazy-quilted and notched head Is bound to be noticed by the bunch and a general Inspection of your dome en.. Ono consolation Is the fact that you can laugh loud and long at the next boy who allows him eelf to be butchered Our army walk at the arsenal coneinte of absorbing on much as possible about Army Regulations, Ordnance Regula tions, Ordnance forms. store-house du ties. automatic pistol and rifle patio and functions, headquarters rountine and target erection. One week Ix given over to each part with the day's work divided no as to .glve alternate hours for study and quizzes, from 880 until 080 with intei mission nt norm I'm grub The food, of course. Includes adul terated %valet which never di earned of much a high honor as being named •'milk", and army bread which lm forced into second place by Scotty's toast! 'Never-the-less, the boys nre getting so fat that they have to take exercise every morning to dress up well w hen we hove military drill Meets State Men There Is no place where >on are 60 sure of meeting boys whom you know than in Augusta at night time I went In town alone last week and met Ser geant Bishop, 'lt, the basketball player. going Into the theatre. After the show wo met Lieutenant Floyd Parrish get ting ready to embark for camp hi a big truck. Lieutenant "Joe" 'Wilson was standing outside the Hotel Albion. "looking 'em over," and Inside. Fred Tenger held down ono of the arm choirs Don Shenton, .10, has been buzzing around with a girl with a 'Packard.' I'm not sure whether he calls more titan one evening a week or whether he takes his turn with liva or six other boys The boys Itnsn learned that It Is wise never to Introduce any Irl whom they know to a possible rl vol Even a brother would be dis owned If he wore suspected of having plans for usurping your place The Bellefonte troop Is on duty this week guarding the powder magazine and store houses I do not care how many tlinca we are halted and have to give the pass word, if they keep those powder magoeinee from sky-rocketing the Arsenal grounds. .LOCONOTIVE" BROWN IS IN THE FRENCH SHOPS Following are some extracts from a hatter recently received from Lieut.
