a wm - kook dh Kk XK Wok K kkk Dear Servicemen: FROM ALL OF US TO YOU ok OW kk NN wy NN NX yx All 650 of you. You know there's one place we've failed back here at home. We talk among ourselves about what a swell group of men we have in the service, but we never tell you. Most of the boys from the Back Mountain region are in the Air Corps or Military Police, two of the hardest branches of the Army to get into, or the Navy. It keeps me busy changing Pvt. to Pfc. or Cpl. to Sgt. or even Lt., the promotions fly so fast and thick. We're mighty proud of this but we've never told you. We've had several yisitors at the office recently. Last week Earl Wil- liams and Karl Borkowski stopped in to chat with us. Earl is with the Military Police in Georgia, and Karl with the Air Corps in Texas. The day before, Lt. Harold Rood, who lives across the street from the Post, dropped in. That Lt. was a complete surprise to all of us, but a pleasant one.- He's now with the Ordnance at Aberdeen, Maryland. Ralph Antrim came in all geared out in his paratroop outfit with its large, flappy, outside pockets and his brown leather boots.

In my last letter, I pitied Bill Baker, Sr., because of the sweat and back- aches he had from working in his garden. I don’t pity him now. This week, Bill dug one of the most beautiful crops of potatoes I've ever seen,—pota- toes as good as any on the market. Clyde Lapp out looking at them. Most gardens in town are about finished. We had our first frost Sunday evening and had another on Monday. But the row’ upon row of canned goods in the cellar didn’t freeze, so we aren’t afraid of going hungry.

We might call this a “cherry stretching” recipe be- cause less than one cup of cherries is transformed into seven gay des- serts— an important point when fruit is a bit expensive and not too plentiful. If fresh cherries are not available on local tree or market place, why not invest some of your extra blue points (that your victory garden is saving you) in a can of sour cher- ries?

It is nearly three | times as large as Denmark, almost equals the population of Canada and | is approximately two-thirds the size | of Turkey or Yugoslavia. | | War-time population shifts have | | | not similarly affected all our coun- | ties. While some counties have had | population shifts of less than 100 | persons, others ranged from a loss lof over 28,000 to a gain of nearly | 95,000. The communities are pre- sented with the problem of determ- ining whether or not these shifts are going to be temporary or per- manent because the planning of their future development depends largely upon the nature of the pres- ent changes.
