Games and other types of enter-
tainment for convalescents are need-
ed urgently, Mrs. Perryman said,
as well as small prizes the soldiers
might give while playing the games.
A box has been placed at the prod-
uction room where the games and
prizes may be left. Special need
for entertainment for the conval-
escents has been expressed. Sixty
prizes each week are needed for
the games of bingo, etc., played
by the soldiers recuperating at the
camp hospital. Suggested prizes are:
Small sizes of toothpaste, shaving
cream, razor blades, cigarettes,
mouth wash, talcum powder, after
shave lotion or any useful article
which the boys would have to buy
otherwise. Small packages of sta-
tionary will make good prizes too.
Young county has been asked to
furnish the prizes for one wek
every other month.

cil including representatives from

Scatterings
Pat KELLY, who was graduated
from high school here, will enter
active service in the ARMY as soon
as he is graduated from A. and M.,
his parents said while visiting here
Saturday from Breckenridge . . .
While we don’t know Sgt. Roy C.
MILLER, our heart went out to
him when we saw his address as
given for the Enterprise HONOR
roll—Corregidor Fortress . . . Her
duties are selling WAR bonds
and stamps, writes Mrs. Stanley
BOUNDS from Wichita, Kans.,
where she is working in the First
National Bank . . . Mrs. J. J.
EAGAN is pretty thrilled these
days after talking with her son,
GILMER, who telephoned her last
week from San Francisco. Stationed
on the U. S. S. Indianapolis, Eagan
was at PEARL Harbor on Dec. 7
. . . There’s no richer feeling
than that inspired by finding sev-
eral coins in an old pocket pocket
. . . While she has not heard from
her application, RUBY Gadberry
has applied for service as a nurse
with the American Red Cross . . .
Here’s one from Ripley: At Lub-
bock order number 1492 went to
COLUMBUS Wesley Morris after
he registered in the third DRAFT
... It was a NATURAL. The A. A.
Coopers, returning from a week
end in Dallas, had a flat. Martin
SCHLEGEL, going to Dallas to re-
port for service in the Naval Re-
serve, passed by. Result: Martin
fixed his last Oiney “flat,” peeling
off his coat even as he walked to-
ward the Cooper car. What we hopfe
is that Martin’ll knock those Japs
so FLAT that they can’t be re-
paired . . . These pesky, sun-
drenched afternoons when you can’t
get any work done at all.
* * * *
Like Son, Like Father
We’ve reversed the saying, just
a bit. But C. L. MARTIN is leaving
for service in the navy. His eldest
son, BILL, is already in service
for the navy. The elder Martin
saw duty in World War I.

Buy, buy, buy and buy with every

Letter
(Continued from page 10
day evening about 7:00 P. M. and
turned them loose to meet some
friends from the camp. I think they
wanted to window shop and to
stroll through the French quarters
of Old New Orleans. They had
heard so much about it and know
that people from all over the coun-
try come to see it. They were just
going to take advantage of a free
trip to see it.
“We took them out to the large
cemeteries and they had a chance
to view the results of New Orleans’
strange custom of burying their
dead above the ground. They saw
the New Orleans Army and Navy
Airports and the P-40s thrilled
them quite a bit with their constant
maneuvers in the air. They took
a look at Lake Ponchartrain and
got a glimpse of the Famous Pon-
chartrain Beach with its amuse-
ment centers. They also had a
chance to see the New Orleans
Yacht Club where they may move
to after leaving the Naval Station
in Algiers.
“I have written this letter for
the sole purpose of letting you
know that the boys are getting
along fine. That they seem to be
actually enjoying their new ex-
periences and that they are very
proud of their choice of the Naval
division of the service rather than
being a part of the regular army
Both expressed the wish that they
might be able to come home and
visit before going to a training
station far from home. (Both
hope to be sent to Houston, Corpus
Christi or Galveston). I don’t blame
them, I lived in that section be-
fore coming to New Orleans. That
will bring them back closer to
home, too.
“Rest assured that both of them
are being well cared for, that they
get a certain amount of enjoyment
out of it and that they are both
trying very hard to “make good”.
“Our sincere regards to all of
you and thanks for a very pleasant
day spent with your two fine boys.
“Sincerely,
“Mr and Mrs. R. W. (Rookie)
White and Billy.”

Wichita Falls Man Says Indi-
gestion, Constipation, Gas And
F atigue Relieved by Hoyt's

cently I started having acid indi-
gestion. Gas formed, crowding my
MR. J. L. DABNEY
heart, and it was difficult for me
to breathe. I was troubled with,
constipation, had to take a laxative
almost every night. After a day’s
work, I would come heme feeling
tired, worn-out and ready to go to
bed.
“Since taking Hoyt’s Compound,
I no longer have indigestion or gas.
1 eat anything I like. My bowels
are regular now so, I don’t have to
take laxatives. That tired, li&Drn-
out feeling is gone, and I now feel
fine and full of pep after my. day’s
work!”
Hoyt’s Compound is recommend-

Store and by leading druggists in
his entire area.
