Writing bravely about the "set
determination to finish the job
laid out for us," but wishing he
had some of "Ma's poor -man
soup," Staff Sgt. William O.
Burnette recently wrote his par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Bur
nette. 425 North Holly street,
from Germany. The sergeant Is
serving with an armored divi
sion. "We are In a rest area now.
but I'm beginning to wonder
where the rest begins and the
work leaves off," the sergeant
wrote, in part. "I'd rather be
busy, anyway, than have noth
ing to do. That isn't good for
one, especially over here. This
place here is nice end clean and
I've bad a chance to get caught
up on a lot of neglected things
like washing and writing.
It has been anything but an
easy life since I left England,
but I can't complain a bit be
cause I still feel like I'm ac
complishing something side by
side with the other soldiers.
While I was In the states 1 didn't
feel like a soldier. I felt like
most of my time was being more
or less wasted."
The pe'geant ended by saying
that "I've sweated, I've nearly
frozen, I've done both at the
same time and I've had the bap
tism of being under fire, I've
traveled night and day without
rest and with little food and it
has brought us to the land to
ward which we fought and will
eventually cbnquer."
The university press that has
operated the longest in succession
is the University of tnicago
press. It has worked for 54 years
without interruption.
