He won dered why a cook should have to do such a thing for the most part, and he was seen to be a long ways from being calm on the way to the woods last Sun day. But he came through with flying colors. Has every mem ber of the company been ex tending a welcome hand to the new members? Remember that some day you might find your self in the same situation, and that some day might be real soon. This week we are glad to see one of our new boys re turn from the hospital where we gather he did not have a too comfortable time.

When last seen this Staff Sergeant was wearing a pair of green coveralls and heading in the general direction of a card game. As for Steve, none can even recall having last seen him. The first orientation talk was apparently well taken by Co. G men. and discussion of our first sergeant s experiences was continued for several days. Lt Parr presented some valuable material. The subject of Democ racy and why we fight is a tough one to explain without going in to history and economics. It’s practically classroom activity, and with questions and discus sion the talks can be fruitful. Two groups have gone through the infiltration course on Sun days and the reaction naturally varies with the individual. I’m sure it’s a picnic compared to the Pacific area, Italian and Rus sian fronts. The range has sent about 30 men to the N. C. O. refresher course in Harmony Church area, and the Repro Plant almost a» many. We are getting accustom ed to seeing new faces every day around these barracks.
