Of life
Last week's report on folks going places Just about covered
everybody we thought. But we were sadly mistaken. Plane
and train tickets are still being punched furiously and gas tanks
filled as Klamath folks are planning to leave town before the
next inowstorm.
From overseas come interesting letters from! Capt. and Mrs.
Walter Kelly and daughter. Joan, now: In Austria. . (Mrs. Kelly
is Mrs. Lester Offieid'g sister and daughter of Mrs." Mamie
Giacomini of Merrill). Capt. Kelly is stationed at Salzburg,
Austria with the 2nd battalion, 18th infantry. United States army.
They are comfortably domiciled in the Austrian city although the
cook has to be home certain hours ot the day, and no mistaking,
as the gas is limited to a pre-arranged schedule. It has been
terribly cold in Austria the past winter and such places as the
picturesque old castle which is above the city of Salzburg, the
famous old cathedrals and even the big opera house, are so bitter
cold that it is impossible to attend any functions in the buildings.
Joan, who attends a school at Munich established for children of
the American occupational forces, with her. mother spent a part
of the Christmas holiday in Switzerland. Capt. Kelly was over
seas one year before his family joined him. ,
