Show NEWS FROM OUR BOYS AND GIRLS IN THE U. S. SERVICE e pendent Newspaper By Twila Kearl. , Pvt. Alva mith writes from Camp Phillips, Kansas., Dear Folks: "I made another trip to Wichita over the week' end and had a very nice time. I went to a Catholic church for the firs time and a lot of things they did surely seemed funny, but I guess our religion would seem the same to them. I havent seen anything that would compare with the Mormon religion or that I would trade for it. While there they picked me out of the audience to answer a few questions about who was the guilty person in a radio .mystery they had up at the USO. I had all the answers but when they put the mike in front of me I got so flustered I couldnt say anything. But if I have another chance I think I would be over the mike fright. Easter Sunday three of my buddies and I went to Lindstourg, Kansas, and listened to the famous Messiah Chorus that sing there every year, it was really fine. It cost us a. dollar to get in. Afterwards we went to visit some folks one of the boys knew. They were Swedish and treated us swell and insistedd we stay there for supper. We were there about five hour's and it seemed like being back home. The ladies son had just come back from the southwest Pacific after tflyirjg in 40 bombing raids against the Japs and she was surely happy to have him home. Love, Alva. in been Alva has working Supply & Service for the past eighteen months. At present he is at Camp Barkley, Texas, training with a Medics and Clearing Detachment. He says it is pretty rough training but he can take it. .i While Dale Rex was home 'about 3 weeks ago he told us about some phases of the rigorous training the boys in the infantry are given. Pul through the same experiences in Texas that they will face in actual combat, was some of the hardest physical labor he has ever done, Dale told us. One of the most unpleasant incidents he had was while on maneuvers, crawling on the ground with bullets screaming about 49 inches above them. He crawled hrough a barb wire entanglement and turned ove on fcisback ip do. 5u wih his eyes closed. He felt a slithering object run over his face and looked quickly to see a deadly copperhead snake hanging to the wire above him. He yelled snake and all the boy abou him reared in the air with their hands and feet supporting their body as high above the ground as possible. In a mum ant he discovered it was dead. Some infantryman ahead of him had killed it and had tied it to the wire. This copperhead is a deadly p sonou ssnake and this one gave the boys a few bad moments. Digging a fox hole is something more of a task for Dale than most of his companions. Taken out in the field area they were given so much time a dig a fox hole, then tanks were to go over them. He did not get his fox hole quite finished in the allotted time and as a huge tank rumbled over top of him he found himself in a tight squeeze betewen tank tread and the earth below him. His shoulder was bruised in the process. Dale graduaed from the BYU at Provo a year ago, taking an active part in the college basketball team and plaed in many cities of the United States. Last summer he taught Physical Education to the Naval Cadets at Ely, Nevaaa, his 6 feet, 7 inches of heighth preventing him from being one of them. He entered the Army Jan. 5 of this year, and expects to soon be on th front line of defense. Bp. and Mrs. Willard Peart visited their son Gordon, and his wife Barbara Reese Peart, during the middle of May leaving Randolph May 17th, arriving in Seattle on the 20th, Gordon being stationed on Whidley Island, near Seattle and was off duty every night about 5 p. m., which gave him a lot of hours with his mother and father. He has achieved the rating of AOM 3c and has his stripes on his sleeves. Vera and Willard spent one day in Seattle on their way home. The state flower Rodendra was in bloom while they were there and to quote Vera, she said It was one of the most beautiful sights I have ever seen in my life. It is a delicate flower very much like orchid in color and blooms from shrubs of small size to ones as large as our large lilac trees. They took Gordon's car up to Washington and returned home on the Portland Rose. L JULY 8ti (Bag? tijpQQ Randolph. Utah.
