Dear Bud, "

about stumbling over the rolled

late starting home from the high

Tonight is like state fair days

Drunks were surprisingly few.
I found myself most "sorry for
the thin, middle-aged man who
was being told at the city hall
that he would have to spend the
remainder of the night in jail be
cause he had no 150 bail for his
reckless driving charge.
Then there was the girl who,
stopped by a . plain clothes man
who asked her age (curfew is
back again, you know), termed
him a j "wolf." Bet she'll never
again be so Crave.
feomehow, ; brother, I suppose
that Salem is just as different a
place to live, at least on Saturday
nights, las an army camp!

That doesn't mean that soldiers

the army decided to plan so that
if Italy and Germany ' collapse
suddenly at any time, we would
n't have to hold back on Japan
until forces could be shifted.
The Asiatic and European cam
paigns -therefore were considered
separately when manpower needs
were added up. The plans -also
provided for a strategic force
which could be sped to Alaska
or South America in case of an
attack there.
Getting them overseas:
general staff planned at the
start of the year to move men
overseas hi 1943 at the rate of
Ue,oa a month, giving as
Z.700,000 soldiers abroad by
next January. Success against
the U-boats may step ap that
number. Orilnal plans called
for 4.750,000 men overseas by
