Donaldl Fell (The letter was one of those Army and Navy V-Mail briefs hence the "running out of space.") The Gazette Times is not re printing soldiers' letters as a testi monial for the paper. The fact that the paper is complimented by the boys is merely evidence of the eagerness with which they seize every bit of news from home. This is seen in the following commu nication from Pfc Harry Ring, who is with our forces in Hawaii: Dec. 2, 1942 Hawaii Dear Sir: This is just a shout letter to let you know how much I appreciate your paper.
