They Are Doing
"Am writing this from the nicest
service club I've yet seen outside
of that 11-story job In J Chicago.
Just had. a bottle of semi-coc and
am going to see Tales of Man
hattan in a few minutes. Boy,
what a; difference these little
things can make. Right now the
boys in the far end of the room
are playing Larry Clinton's . re
cord, 'Deep Purple', which was all
the rage when Bill (Bill Snell)
and I first began to take notice
of the juke boxes. Nice! So nice.
"It isn't homesickness that gets
a fellow so much. It's lack of di
version. Tonight will .prove my
point. Here I am wishing I
were home, of course but rather
happy, at that, because I can sit
in familiar surroundings and write
about things I enjoy.
i: "The Red Cross is responsible
for this layout: snack bar, lounge,
library, gameroom, etc. all but
the theatre which is GI and free.
Here we can buy 'coc' for 3d
(about 5c), sandwiches at 4d, cof
fee, 2d per, etc. Have been fol
lowing "The Stars and Stripes"
(Red Cross newspaper) each day.
It's really nice to have a place
like this to come to. So far as I
can see, the Red Cross is the top
outfit in their line. They give us
help, advice, keep us in money if
we are really up against it, get us
news about our relatives who are
ill . baT"k home, and all sorts of
things. It's this sort of thing that
makes a soldier happy when he is
away from home.'.'-
