Eugene Brake and Motor E. E. Merewether, Proprietor Wheel Aligning a Specialty From C.P.A. News: We received the following letter from Max Saunders a couple of weeks ago. From what he writes, he seems to have fared army life O.K.: “I want to express my appreciation for the News which has come quite reg ularly to me. I’ve enjoyed every bit of it. I’ve had a new address since near the middle of June (moved on Sunday, as usual) but I haven’t been too anxious to send my change of address letters until we were settled. There have been all sorts of rumors about going home. I don’t think we will be here more than a couple of months longer because they seem to be sending them back in re verse order to the time they came overseas, and this outfit wasn’t here until last October. *T was glad to hear that Bill DeCew was safe. The 515th went into combat March 13 in time to help the 7th Army kick off two days later. We came through without a scratch from enemy action. Except for 'bad check Charlie’ there were almost no German planes around us, but plenty of our own. The Air Corps has given themselves lots of publicity but they deserve most of it. Regards to all, Max.” Here’s a letter we just received from Ted Thompson: "Bout time to send my new address as I miss the C.P.A. News.
