He has given a bouquet to the men who responded to the invitation to participate in the parade both of them, Sgt. Wayne Jackson and Cor-oral Cor-oral C. Price Haight. Tlie strength of the units are reduced re-duced to such an extent by furloughs that the regular wok could not be carried on efficiently, therefore a program has been evolved whereby the men do close order drill and basic training In the forenoon and are organized into work groups In the afternoon for the purpose of improving and beautifying the camp. Flower gardens have been planted stone walks laid, and cement drains oonsfructed for stormy weather, and in general such improvements as will add everlasting pride as well as convenience to the camp. It Is surprising to see the novel and practical ideas the men have worked out in landscaping. Visitors to Battery "F will be able to Identify our humble quar-ers quar-ers by the large "F" on the south side of the orderly tent made from cobblestones, and to trip down our .maid cement walk on rainy days without dampening shoe leather, fhe flower garden, if cared for with the same enthusiasm as was shown in planting, will do credit ivith the best. We should now have a flower garden contest as soon as the dog show is over. Reflections of soldiers after returning re-turning from furlough: "Seems queer to see people in different colored clothes going any place they please and no one to tell them what to do." "Mother says that if the amount of food I ate while home is an indication in-dication of what is consumed in the army, she is afraid the government govern-ment will go broke feeding us." "Had to give all my clothes to my kid brother as I have gained 18 pounds." "It's a shame that droves of beautiful, friendly women roam the streets of our fair town without escorts and only a limited number of soldiers available and they for a short two weeks." "Intended to sleep the clock around but arose at 5:30 a. m. and disturbed the folks by raiding the ice box at 6 a. m. (our usual breakfast break-fast time.)"
