they’re in trim to get to shore,”
said Dotty.
“They’ll have to swim with all
their might. Let’s call to them,
because, right now, they’re mov-
ing very slow.”
The parrot said, “Don’t worry
’bout that pony. He will come
right out. The hound, though,
may have trouble. We must help
him, if we can.
“I’ll whistle! That may do
some good.” He whistled loudly
as he could. Then Scouty

Dear Progress:
Thought I would drop you a
line to let you know how things
were making out in San Antonio.
Even though I am not very far
from home I like to know the
news of the town, and how its
making out. Some of the fellows
in camp also read The Progress
every week. Some of them are
from Corpus Christi and other
close towns.
The boys in my company are
really doing a great job teaching
and training the boys who were
unfortunate enough not to have
an education, the fundamentals
of the army, how to read and
write. We are also teaching them
their basic training.
How is everyone on the home
front getting along, hope all are
doing their share buying war
stamps and bonds.
Every soldier in the army, at
least every single person are buy-
ing a bond or part of a bond out
of every pay check. Yes it
leaves very little to make out on
but it can be done.
I was made a private first class
the 22nd of August, and I am
glad to say that the boys in the
armed forces are real buddies to
each other,
As ever,

Dear Progres:
I don’t know what has been
done about renewing my sub-
scription, but I presume some-
thing, because I still get the pa-
per. There are a lot of Tekas
boys in this outfit, and they all
enjoy the paper as much as I do.
Of course the paper is aNvays a
month old when I get one, but I
still enjoy it as much as ever.
It’s good to see that most of the
local boys are still in the states
and are able to get home on fur-
lough once in awhile. Let’s all
hope it wont be long until we are
all home on a permanent fur-
lough. Personally—I don’t think
it will be long—Mr. Hitler will
pull a Mussolini before long—
then look out.
I’ve been visiting some of the

The newspaper is probably
the reading material most
widely demanded by service
men, says Miss Alice J. Gar-
wood, assistant librarian. Sec-
ond Service Command.
In an article on "Reading In-
terests of Service Men" in the
current issue of New York
Branch Library Book News,
Miss Garwood said that home
town papers were requested
most often.
ancient historical spots in this
country. I remember studying
about these places in history and
wondering why we should be in-
terested in what happened thou-
sands of years ago. If I could get
Supt. Faulk and one of his his-
tory books here now I’d be per-
fectly satisfied.
Thanks again.

Dear Progress:
To report another change of
address, my 5th in seven months.
I’ve been receiving The Progress
regularly every week and as
time goes by, it’s appreciated
more and more.
I’ve been in West Texas only
two days and so far, I like it next
to South Texas only. It is nice
out here, dry, but very pleasant.
We have a swell field and the
town seems quite friendly, much
as Aransas Pass.
I’ll be terribly busy for a few
weeks, with night classes and
night flying, so will be very
grateful" if 1 see The Progress as
often as I have in the past.
Sincerely,

Dear You (My Soldier):
Am I flying? No, but I am
walking on the clouds; for we
heard from you today. Nothing
in all the world is as important
as the fact that you Are well and
happy in‘your work for Uncle
Sam and U. S. (that means “us”
too, in our love for you).
We bombed Berlin, we occu-
pied Kiska, we plowed our way
toward Tokyo, but you are well
and happy. “That took the dag-
ger out of the war that is always
fought by dads and mothers, and
won by their sons.”
Hear me boys (this is M. Y.

write a letter home today.
Sincerely,

TRY THIS
A subscriber gives this sugges-
tion to local housewives to try.
She cuts her baking-powder bis-
cuits square shaped instead of
round, finding this takes less time
and there are no ends left from
cutting. They take less space in
the pan, also. This shape can be
made with a floured kitchen
knife if you haven’t a square
cookie cutter.

Cheerfulness and content are
great beautifiers and are famous

The Parent-Teachers Associa-
tion of Ingleside will hold its first
meeting Thursday, Sept. 9, be-
ginning at 8 p. m. at the Ingle-

Trustees and members of the
faculty will be honored at the
social hour.
If worse comes to worst with
the Nazis’ food situation, they
can always call on Switzerland.
The Swiss have been turning out
pretty good turnips for genera-
tions.
