"THE OUTPOST a= ~a8 (Continued from Page 2) a letter. That is out now, as I am once again out on an island. I just completed reading the Post from cover to cover under a net. The mosquitoes are very bad. Oh, yes! I was so happy, yes, very happy to learn that Mrs. T.. M. B. once again has recovered her sap- phire needle. Oh, my, but that sure did worry me as it would have been terrible to go through this war without a sapphire needle. But with Peter on the job with his fid- dle and his accordian, he could make up for the needle. I sure get a kick out of those articles. So do the boys. Just a line to let you know how happy we were to know the sapphire needle is O. K. Willard Lewis Garey, ot Fleet Post Office, San Francisco, Calif. ® What? You in this column again? Well, any fellow out in the far Pacific who sends us two letters that reach us in the same week can have all the room he wants in The Outpost.—Editor. Wow! Dear Sir: I received my first copy of the Post today and it sure is good to read about the home town. I am in the Infantry receiving my basic training. I am in the heavy weapons company. I will be here for about three or four months. The training here is tough, but if anyone else can take it, so can I. While at home I thought Texas was beautiful, but since I am down here, it is all sand and desert. There is nothing like the Back Mountain. There is only one fellow that left with me from Shavertown. He is with me here at camp. He is Mike Chersin. He played football at Kingston Township. It is good to have some one from the Back Mountain region to talk to. Well, I will close now. Will write again as soon as I have stime. Thanks for the Post. ¢ Pvt. Joe Wallo, L =" Camp Swift, Texas. e Joe: There's one thing about Texas that is better than Dallas. You can get plenty of gasoline and oil down there. John Sullivan always used to say that Texas was a swell state. I can’t understand it.—Editor. Texas Again Here Comes The Groom Dear Editor: : I am very sorry I haven't written to you sooner. I was home this month for a few days and I en- joyed myself very much back with the boys who haven't been called for the service yet. I don’t know if you have heard the news of my marriage. I do want to thank you very much for the Dallas Post, as my wife enjoys the Post as much as I do. It sure is good to hear the news from back home. Well, Editor, I want to thank you ‘again for the Post. Enclosed you will find the clipping you have asked the service men to fill out and send to you. Sincerely, Sgt. W. E. DeRemer; Fort Monroe, Virginia. e Congratulations and best wishes to both of you, Sergeant. Have the missus fill in one of those Free Posts For Soldiers coupons so we can complete our file card for you.— Editor. He’s In Africa ‘Dear Sir: I received your paper in the past very regularly, but now that we have come across, I have not re- reived it so regularly. I have en- joyed it very much and hope you keep sending it. Sincerely yours, Joe Maculis, Somewhere in Africa. e We're sending you a paper every week, Joe, and never have one returned by the Postoffice De- partment. Maybe some of them are feeding the fishes down in Davy Jones’ locker. Tell more about Africa. Good luck to you.—Editor. Tell It To Marines Dear Editor: Due to circumstances above and beyond my control, I wasn’t able to send the application sooner. I've been transferred to a new base as you probably already have noticed. The past week and a half has been spent getting organized and there- fore I was busy practically all day. I wish to thank you again for the service you've rendered me in the past. Sincerely yours, Pvt. William M. Okenhouse, Cherry Point, N. Carolina. ® Your brother, Allen, was in the other day from Camp McCoy, Wis- consin. It was snowing outside, and “Al” said of all times for it to snow. He came home from those frigid regions of Wisconsin, expect-. ing to see a little springtime—and what did he get? SNOW! Write us more about yourself when you get time.—Editor. (Don’t let her kid you. Martha wrote this note.— H. W.R.) Beautiful Louisiana Dear Editor: Just a line to let you know I am now stationed at Camp Claiborne, Louisiana. Boy! The French really knew what they were doing when they sold this territory for $75,000. They should have left the Indians have it in the first place. A brief summary of the state and the camp would be as follows: 1.—Snakes. 2.—Swamps. 3.—Wood ticks. 4.—Camp is dusty. 5.—It's hot in the daytime, but at night a fellow manages to get a breath of fresh air. Pennsylvania is a palace beside any state I have seen thus far. I don’t think they can beat it, do you? > In closing I'd like to thank you for sending me the Post. I've been receiving it on good schedule. So long and thanks again for the Post. PFC. Arja Brown, Camp Claiborne, La. e For the love of Heaven. Here goes Louisiana back to the Indians. —Editor. In Radio School Dear Editor: Many thanks for sending me the Post regularly. Am at a loss for words to tell you how much I enjoy it each week. I have intended to write you for some time, but school has really kept me busy. I came down here about six weeks ago from Madison, Wisconsin, to go to Advanced Radio School and will probably be here for some time yet. The climate here is really wonder- ful and what a change from the sub-zero temperature of Wisconsin. I never expected to get down South so soon again, as it was only a few months ago that I left Miami Beach. Well, it’s time to be off for school, so will have to rush along. Enclosed you will find the neces- sary coupons with my correct ad- dress. Hope it isn’t too late for them and ‘that I will continue to receive your very interesting paper. Again, many thanks, ¢ Yours truly, Cpl. Elwood R. Renshaw, Boca Raton Field, Florida. Were We Surprised ? Dear Mr. Risley: Well, here is a letter which I think I have owed you for a long time, and have just time between letters to drop you a line. I have been receiving the Post O. K. at my new squadron. For a while I thought I wasn’t going to get them any more and then I got three of them all at once. I have just finished my course in Navigation and Marine Engines and boy was that a tough one, the high school lessons or anything I have ever studied before could nev- er come up to that. I had about | 22 weeks and I can now navigate about anything from a ship up to a plane. We were taught the fun- damentals of “crash boats,” that is boats that go around patrolling for wrecked planes or planes that are forced down. They go along and pick up the crew. Next week I am starting a 22-week course in par- achute rigging. Here's where a lot of pilots get a surprise when their chute doesn’t open. I see where my pal, Lou Kelly, is about sixty miles from me. It looks like I will be able to see some of my old pals after all. I guess he soon will be clipping through the air by himself. I sure do envy those guys, but we have. to have someone on the ground for those up in the air. The weather down here now is just like weather down in Missis- sippi or out in Seattle, Wash., or California. It is raining cats and dogs day in and day out—it seems it will never stop. Boy, they are sure putting us through the paces down here now, obstacle course day in and day out so we look like and act like a bunch of kangeroos going over the hurdles and under them in water and over high walls. Boy, they can give that back to the In- dians if they want it. Well, Howard, I guess I am run- ning short on fuel so I will mosy down now and land. So until later, I remain, Sincerely yours, Cpl. Arthur D. Dunn, Seymour Johnson Field, North Carolina. e I dont quite get it. Whatja-- | mean—a lot of pilots are going to get a surprise when you start par- achute rigging? Also the Indians are going to be land poor after this war is over. Art Kemmerer wants to give Kansas back to them and now you come along and offer them North Carolina. What I want to know is who gets Pocohontas?— Iditor. ; ar Seeing Stars Dear Editor: I have been receiving the Post for the past few weeks and would sending it. I am still working as cook at the Service Club, and Friday I had the pleasure of cooking supper for Miss Patricia Morrison, a well-known movie actress. Miss Morrison en- tertained the boys at Camp Hale with her beautiful singing. Very truly yours, Pvt. Stephen Hayes, Camp Hale, Calif. e It's Shawnee against the world when it comes to cooking and everything else. Am I right, Steve? — Editor. Kansas Tastes Fine Dear Sirs: Enclosed please find my change of address. I look forward to re- ceiving the Post each week, and thoroughly enjoy it. I also wish to take this opportunity of express- ing my deepest thanks and grati- tude for the thoughtfulness you have shown to me and many other boys. less thing here in the Army. The weather here is quite warm, but the air is continually filled with sand. No wonder Alf Landon lost the election. They should give their state back to the Indians. (I doubt if the Indians would accept it.) I believe I'm destined for Africa, be- cause there is so much sand blow- ing around all the time that it re- minds me of a Sahara Desert dust storm. They want me to get used to it. My mother asked me how I liked Kansas and I told her, “it tastes fine!” Well, I guess I'll wind this up, as it seems to be getting nowhere. Thanks again for the Post. It sure means a lot. As “the song bird of the South” would say: “Thanks for listenin’.” As ever, Arthur Kemmerer, Fort Riley, Kansas Wait until the sunflowers start blooming, Art: It wasn’t the dust of Kansas that licked Alf. It was the dust the other guy threw in our eyes.—Editor. \e Table Talk Dear Editor: I have been receiving the Dallas Post now for four months, and I | assure you each and every one was received with the same deep ap- preciation. Of all the papers re- ceived in camp, I and my friends think the Dallas Post is tops. | At the present time I am a very tired fellow, having just got back in camp from a two-day bivouac, | which kept us going from the time we left camp until we returned once again. Have you ever tried sleeping under two small kitchen tables? It really is fun, I can guar- antee. Two of us had that pleas- ure last night. Of course, we didn’t | have to, but out here in Oregon | it rains all of the time, and under | there the rain just couldn't reach | us. Through this letter I would like Ito wish all the luck in the world to those fellow “Brewery Boys” of mine—Joe, Tom, Bud and Pete. I sure hope they are also receiving the Post by this time. Once again, thanks for a swell paper, and I hope to continue to receive it through my Army career. Sincerely yours, Dick Williams, Camp Adair, Oregon. i e Swell to hear from you Dick. I know some guys who have been under the table but not from rain. | Harvey's Lake Bottling Works isn’t the same without you. Good luck. —=Editor. From the Far Pacific Hello, Howard: Just received the Post of January 22nd. tions still on the way. I'll get them in time. It seems we move around quite a bit and that does impair our mail service. Today is the first I received any mail since the first of March when we left our rest camp and came back out in the field to do another job. You know the record we helped make on the last one. I hope we do it much quicker this time. I believe we will as we now have a smooth working organization. : Now, let's talk about the Post for a few lines. I want you to know that I have met many men in the service that have been connected at various times with newspapers. They all tell me that I am getting a paper that is very well “put up.” They also say that your service to men in the service is to be com- mended. I agree with them. They can all see the point in local news paper at home that would give them as concise a report on home affairs as yours gives us. They also | talked some newspaper terms that like to thank you very much for | fe oh 1 Willard: You'll be interested to & Price | 1 now that two of your letters air- There must be many edi- | and only wish that they had a | | | have to pass them up. I" Just read “Tough Lines to Write.” | | Well, Howard, if the people in the area that your paper covers—I [een the local area—-could only line held out to us fellows in the ' { service, they would all be very hap- {py to pay the small sum of two | dollars and fifty cents a year for !a subscription. That is only five | cents a copy. I have seen many : times when one could not value the { paper in dollars and cents. I be- lieve most of the other boys have had the same experience. I was very sorry to read of the! passing of my old friend, Bill Rice. Dallas sure won’t be the same with- out “Bill” around. Dallas sure lost a fine man. Well, I want to thank you again for the Post. It sure has been a great help. I wish I could tell you some scoop, but that is out as I am a mail censor and would not pass it. Yours for a better and bigger paper, Willard Lewis Garey, C. P. O. U.S. N.R. Fleet Post Office, San Francisco, Calif. mailed the last week in March reached me in less than a week. I wish you could be home for a while. There’s a job open on the Dallas Rationing Board. I believe you and Bill Swartwood below could handle it pretty weil.—Editor. From North Africa didn't register with me, so I will| j realize that the Post is like a life- | Dear Sir: | I received six copies of the Post | a few days back. Thanks a million. It's great to read what the folks | are doing in the Back Mountain. In reading over some of the let- | ters the boys write in, I can’t help feeling a litle envious and feeling a little sorry for us. That one by Arden Steele from Florida about the one-story bar-- racks and the rough streets—we haven't seen a barracks since way last November, and haven't even had a rough street to sleep in. Also those officers here in North Africa that had the terrifying time with the turkey (that was in an article by Mrs. T. M. B. Hicks)—we also bought a turkey and got it nice and fat. When it came time for the killing, one of our boys just took it out of the coop, stood on its head, took hold of both feet and pulled. The neck being the least point of resistance, it was soon over. The feathers came off swell, too. But us being just plain pri- vates might of had something to do with it. I Well, folks, thanks again for the I paper and please keep up the good jwork. So long for now. : Sincerely, Pvt. William Swartwoody ] c-o Postmaster, } New York City. ® Gee, Bill, its nice of you to take the time to write. I know some- thing of what you fellows are up against in North Africa. Col. Nor- man Smith told me when he re- turned from Oran. I hope many of the things you read in the Post are not discouraging to a man who's at the front. There are only a few at home who aren’t taking this war seriously. Those few aren’t getting away with anything.—Editor. A Bed Of Roses Here is a card to let you know that I get a copy of the Post every { once in a while. I must have been | getting the Post for a year because I looked under my matress and If counted about fifty copies of the Post. When I first started getting the Post, I didn’t know what I was) going to do with them after I fin- ished reading them. But after I came to England I started putting Posts under my matress and sleep- ing on them. ; Yours truly, Howard. Pvt. Howard Carey, c-o Postmaster New York City. e Why only once in a while? You should be getting the Post every week. Did you get my letter? Martha was a little upset when she saw the picture of the nudist colony on your post card. Don’t mind (Martha. I've had several people (over the years tell me where to i stick the Dallas Post. It was never under the matress.—Editor.
