"Your son Raymond is now in
training at this place. 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."

Big League Stars
Stage Good Show
In Pendleton Game
Final Contest of
Barnstorming Tour
Won by Nationals
Several thousand northwest base
ball fans saw their first major lea
gue game Wednesday when teams
comprising stars from each of the
big circuits played an exhibition
game at the Round-Up grounds. 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.

WAR CHEST SUBSCRIBERS
SHOULD POST OFFICIAL
STICKER IN WINDOW
Reporting on progress of the
War Chest drive, Chairman
Blaine E. 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."
