Show Chatter Box... Dear Susy: The bond drive is all washed up here now and we have, gone over the top. But, now tthat we have finished up that drive, we start on the Red Cross drive next month. To fill out the Red Cross quota :s going to take about two dollars a person throughout the country, but even that isn't going to be so very tough. There is little doubt that this money will be raised when the givers know how much good it docs. Lt. Glen Allred landed here last week while flying from California to Washington, D. C. He "beat the town" by circling and flying about before landing, and quite a crowd got up there to see him. His mother, moth-er, Mrs. Lulu Allred, and his twin sisters were the only members of the family home, but they all got to see him. He, and the group of aviators, left after being here an hour. The Navy is ahead one more sailor sail-or this past week, thanks to N. S. Bassett. The sailor had lost his wallet in San Francisco containing his money and all of his identifications. identifi-cations. The Navy then had a man going about in a sailor uniform,, but no definite manner by which they could identify him. Among his personal papers in the wallet was his Utah liquor permit, filled out by N. S. Bassett. As said before, be-fore, the Navy had a man in uniform, uni-form, then the wallet was found, so they wrote to N. S. He was busy reading the letter, when the sailor came in the store to see if N. S. could identify him and get him back into possession of his wallet, and incidentally identification papers, pa-pers, and thus reinstate him with definite assurance to the Navy. It all has a happy ending and the sailor is identified, has his wallet, and has (or did have) an unused liquor permit. Here is something you might enjoy: en-joy: The following sentences a-bout a-bout allotment were taken from actual ac-tual letters from wives, mothers, etc., of men who are in the service: "Please send my elopement as I have a four months old baby and he is my sole support and I need all I can get every day to buy food and keep in close." "Please send my wife's form to fill out." "I have alredy wrote to the president pres-ident and I don't hear from you. I will write to Uncle Sam and tell him about you both." "Please send me a letter and tell me if my husband made application applica-tion for a wife and baby." "Sir, I am forwarding my marriage certificate and my two children: one is a mistake, as you can see." "Sir, I am writing to you to tell you that my baby was born two years agft and it is two years old. When do I get relief?" "In answer to your letter, I gave birth to a baby weighing ten lbs, I hope this is satisfactory." "You have changed my little boy to a girl, does that make any difference?" dif-ference?" "I accordance with your instructions instruct-ions I have given birth to twins in the enclosed envelope." "I can't get my pay. I got six children; can you tell me why this is?" There were a lot more, but they got a little on the smutty side. Well, I must toddle along and get ready for the Delta-Milford game tonight. They are both tied with 4 wins and a loss each, so it ought to be a humdinger. Love, Toots. |
