The following very interesting let-
ter was received by the Record Editor
last week from S 1-c Doris Polk, sis-
ter of Mrs. W. O. Gloff, of this city,
who is stationed as a member of the
WAVES in Washington, D. C,:
“I’m S. 1-c, live in Barracks 1-123,
Wavequanters D., Washington, 16, D.
C. Certainly would appreciate, it if
you would miake that change.
Believe you me this Navy life is
swell. I’m working in Communica-
tions Annex and find tile work very
interesting. We work shifts, changing
every week. Have 48 hours off two
out of the three weeks and then a 24.
It’s really not bad at all:
Over at Quarters D. which is across
things like that are continually
planned. Too, we have no curfew, can
wear civilian* clothes when we’re off
duty on the station and off the sta-
tion for active sports. Now can you
understand why I like the Navy.
Mrs. H. M. Haugen
Too, there’s good ole Washington,
D. C. Have never seen a cleaner or
more beautiful city. I get mad every

time I think about the stories of this
place and how many people are dis-
couraged from coming up here. It
shouldn’t be that way at all because
these stories are not true. It’s crowd-
ed, yes, but not too so.
Washington is certainly a place
where you have no .trouble finding
something to. do. There’s always
something new and different.
I have been recommended for my
pointment please notify the Red Cross
so they can give your appointment to
someone else. A broken appointment
means the loss of a pint of blood. Back
up your boys on the fighting fronts.

with an enrollment of 22 pupils.. In
the first grade we have 3 pupils;
second 2, third 8, fourth 2, fifth 1,
sixth 2,- and eighth 4.
We are happy to have these new
pupils: Evelyn- Prescher, James Kett-
is the one that counts. American boys
there have eretoted a large sign which
reads: “Washington—11,673 miles;
Tokyo—4,231 miles; Nearest Jap—%
mile away.”
Ordinarily, the eleven thousand or
more miles separating these men
from their homeland and their people
could be covered in a relatively short
time, but they know full.well that be-
fore such a thing becomes a reality, a
very important job remains to be
done. ,
Wherever our armed forces are
concentrated, thoughts of home and
dreams of an early return to the nor-
mal pursuits of life occupy an impor-
tant place in their hearts and minds.
Certainly, time drags slowly by for
them arid life becomes dull, unpleasant
and sometimes discouraging. But they
cannot afford to let discouragement
and discomforture get the better of
them* or thoughts of home overshad-
ow the job at hand. Finishing the
war must come first, and sticking to
that job, despite its dangers and in-
first duty,
and also first of-the year. At least I’m going
to try to wait till then to take it.
Thanks for making that change in
my address.
Sincerely, . .
