Johan Francis Troedson. son of Mr. and Mrs. Johan Troedson of lone, feels that he has served long enough in the hospital and would like to get going with his buddies in training.

He has been hospitalized at the station hospital since July and recently underwent a major opera tion. He hopes to get into training soon. Mrs. Sadie Parrish is in receipt of a letter from-the chaplain's of fice of the basic training center at Miami Beach.

As Chaplain of the camp, I want to take tliis opportunity to write to tell you how he is getting along in the army. Alhough your son has been in the service only a short time, he has done very well, indeed. I feel he has really begun to fit into army life. We can be equally proud to have our men doing their part to defend their country when our - nation is ini need of every able bodied man. You should be happy to know that your son is a good soldier. We have many opportu nities for religious worship) here. I can truthfully say that the young men coming from homes such as yours are sincere followers of God. Soldiers need a God who can help them, and have learned to find such a God by believing and trust-' ing in Him, Please write to me at any time. "We want to do all we can to help your son, both as a Christian and as a soldier." VISITING HOME FOLKS Cpl. W. J. Van Winkle is spend ing a furlough with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W, C.

It was a big moment for followers of the national pastime and even the weather man was in an amiable mood, for the sun shone most of the time and the afternoon was comfortably warm. Thrills such as one is accustomed .to experiencing in bush league ball were lacking. This was an exhibi tion of professional baseball. There were no loose, exciting situations when either side might blow ujp and throw away the chance to win. It was smooth, machine-like play ing and somehow, after the Na tionals made their three runs, one in the third and two in the fourth, and the Americans didn't score un til the fifth, one had the feeling it was the Nationals' day to win. At least, the Nationals won the game and there seemed to be no disappointment among the cash customers. Col. Lyman L. Phillips of the Pendleton air base pitched the first - - , . ball, if you could call it pi chin TJZ0nF7f J? tender of Boston, then took the box and p,tched; the fu L nme innmgs for the Nationals.

Isom urged all sub scribers to paste the official sticker given by solicitors as a receipt, in door or window. If this is not done there will be annoyance from other solicitors who naturally may think you have not been waited upon. "The drive is coming along in good shape," Isom stated, and it doesn't look like it will be necessary to make extra calls. "Subscribers will be doing the committee a favor by displaying the stickers." FORTY YEARS IN CHINA DR.
