Local Lad Received Christmas Package A letter from LaVern Menden hall says that he is in “good” health and as happy as can be expected so far away, in Korea. He is ordinance-man first-class in the naval air corps, on a long- range bomber with the Seventh fleet (commonly known as a sea plane and the main base is in the Philippines). The squadron covers a wide area in the Orient. His squadron is hoping that the world situa tion gets no worse at least for a time tha they will be able to return to the states as the so- called tour of foreign duty is about over for the present. The group was awarded an air medal. LaVern received all his Christ mas packages in due time and he said it was indeed a treat to receive cake, nuts, cookies, candy and smoked salmon. It did have a Christmas atmosphere despite the time they had to fly that day. Their Thanksgiving dinner was all that could be asked, he said in his letters. Use these columns—it pays!
