With 26 Years of Service, Lists ''Main Occupation: GI' “Main occupation: soldier.” ♦------------------------------------------- -— That’s how the classification ZEBRAIH 276th records describe 1st Sgt. Frank I. Beard of Co. L, 276th Inf., holder of the regiment’s record for long time service. It's been more than 26 years since Sgt. Beard enlisted in Oma ha, Neb., in 1917. Since then he’s seen six months service overseas in the first World War and sol diered in most of the camps you can think of from here to the At lantic. “That's for my six months in France,” he says, pointing to the gold chevron above his eight hash marks. “It was mostly a lot of hard work and plenty of mud— like we have here.” Sgt.

Adair Artists Create Cartoon-Envelopes»On Sale at PX On the theory that il lustrations usually can tell the story better and that the average GI would rather relate the humorous side of his Army life in his letters, a series of comic enve lopes are making their appearance in Camp Adair's PXs this week. An example of one of the five different car toon-envelopes is shown at the right. It is fitting ly entitled ’‘Rain.” Oth ers in the series include Reveille. Fox-Hole, KP i nd Basic. The envelopes, which depict different scenes that could apply to any Army camp as well as Camp Adair, are the col laborating efforts of Tec4 Albert Q. Scott of the 91st Division-Signal Office and S Sgt. Ed ward J. Connors of the 70th Division Headquar ters. Packages of ten enve lopes each are on sale now at every PX on the Post. Pending the suc- ee ««fullness of the cur rent series, more and different envelopes are promised for the future.
