How come we never hear from

Listen, Soldiers who are
sent The Mail. When you change your address, even from one company to another,
don't forget to write The Mail direct and tell us. Then we can keep your
paper going to you regularly. Some of the fellows are writing back that
they don't get the paper regularly. One soldier, now in Hawaii, raised
the roof because he hadn't got The Mail since May 9. Then he found out
that he hadn't sent his new address. Don't say where you are located.
Give us your correct APO address and everything needed for proper reception
of your mail.

Had another letter from England
today. The boys overseas want two things. Good, heavy pocket knives(sic)
and inexpensive wrist watches. How about your Christmas package for the
boys. It has to go out early next month, you know. Merry Christmas to you
lads who don't get the paper until later. (Sounds strange, I'm sitting
here along Fallowfield avenue (sic) and the thermometer outside says 88).

You should have seen the pose of Cadet Eddie ONDRIS who was in the front
row of a picture of an Army training group which was going thru(sic) those
neck-stretching exercises so valuable to piloting. Even with that crooked
neck a certain brown-eyed lass, who is just about the nicest girl ever,
still thinks there is only one man in the Army as far as she is concerned.
Still waiting for you to fly over Charleroi and scare your Pap, Eddie!
Get those wings.

know that he is right in there swinging.

Bill ROWE and Oren STEPHENS
haven't been heard from for a couple of weeks. Hows about a letter? Copey
is starting to worry and you know how Copey is when she is worrying. Herb
is still operating the Hesperus with his pants rolled up and Snookie is
getting just as many squirts as ever. Auburn LAMB has been down at Aspinwall
but is back but not yet working. Veet hit for a penny last week and the
Ridge Runner is still singing for Uncle Ownie.
