News From Hut 232
The Christmas
Entertainment
Christmas comes! At this time of
the year our ears must be open to the
call of God in the winsome and com
pelling voice of the Child of Bethle
hem. The tumult of the battle is hush
ed at last and men can hear again with
thankful hearts the Christinas mes
sage, Peace; Good Will, From the
I l ast, with its sad story of sin and
shame, our thoughts turn to the fu
ture with its new hope for men and
nations, and we thank God and take
courage. Let us thank Him for the
vindication of righteousness, that the
peace which has come is a righteous
peace justifying our faith in the sov
ereignty of justice in the affairs of na
tions and opening to all the peoples
the possibility of relieving liberty
under law.
At the dawn of the Christmas season
-—nineteen-eighteen—on the night of
all nights, the anniversary of the
prophecy wh ch was made more than
two thousand year/i ago that there
was to come a King greater than any
earthly kini to rule the world with
love and peace and sacrifice,—great
throngs insured into Army Y. 14. C. A.
No. 232 to do honor to this Great Per
sonage by a J.brating a grand oc
j caslon.
I Owing to delayed transportation, the
[regular program was started one-half
later than the schedule called for.
However, in the meantime the vast
audience did not waver a bit, for Dr.
Edward Clark., of St John Methodist
Episcopal church, was asked to come
forward and have a good time with the
boys in a sing. Not a minute was
wasted until the time when the enter
tainers had arrived and the Christmas
social begun. Secretary Luessen then
announced the following, according to
the printed program, which was dis
tributed to hll in the audience by the
smallest of the guests, several little
I girls and boys.
i The Rev. John S. J ekins spoke for a
few moments concerning the day and
I the Christ-Child, A brief but touch
ing prayer ensued.
Mrs. Edward Clark, chairman of the
Soldier-Welfare Committee of St. John
church, then presented the Misses
Rosalind and Elizabeth Jenkins, who
sang the popular airs to the accom
paniment of the guitar.
Connor Cleckley, only a youngster,
was called to recite “Wanted —a Big
Brother." Many were there in the au
dience. She won many hearts.
1 little Sophie Schneider, who has ap
peared at this Hut on .another occas
ion, came to the platform in her grace
ful attitude and sang a number of
songs, which were very attractive.
Plaudits came to Miss Sophie again
and again when she performed with a
I few fancy steps to the delight of all
1 present.
Margaret Wood sang “The Rose of
( No Man's band’’ to the accoinpani-
I ment of Sergt. IVazzopina, of the First
Group. This little lady was in the
| costume of a Red Cross nurse.
The hit of the evening was the work
of talented “Elizabeth and Lucile Cren
shaw. Their singing and acting drew’
plaudits again and again, and they
were not stingy with their encores.
Due reverence was c;iven by all
present when Connor Cleckley recited
"The Christ-Child.” "Oh, Little Town
of Bethlehem/’ also brought the au
dience to a silence: This was sung as
a solo by Elizabeth Jenkins, accom
panied by Rosalind Jenkins.
No entertainment is successful un
less the soldiers participate. Christ
mas Carols rang through the audience
of soldiers and civilians us well.
’Twas a real sight to see the boys
come forward in the thickest groups
to catch the apples as they were given
-thrown —to them by the guests of
the evening from the several barrels
which had been opened on the stage.
Two flashlights were made —one of
the stage, with Its decorations, and
entertainers from town.
The great auditorium was magnifi
cently decorated in holida.v attire, and :
in all appearances, and from every
point of view. Groups Ono and Three
expressed untold words of apprecia
tion for the good will of the Soldier-
Welfare Committee of St. John Meth
odist Episcgj.al church, Augusta. May
they return to Y 232 again at the ear
liest opportunity!
Christmas Night
Owing to the large number of activ
ities in camp and Augusta, it. was
found necessary to make a few
changes in the schedule. Immediately
after evening mess the house was
packed with the boys in khaki, eager
to look at the movies. For one hour
and a half about two thousand eyes
kept steadily gazing at. “The Honor
ble Algy,” in five reels.
Following the pictures was an in
formal fireside chat, around the big
stove. Men of all avenues of life, hail
ing from Wisconsin to Texas, from
the Atlantic to the Rockies, sat in a
family circle and exchanged thoughts.
Whether from city, town, or hamlet,
all secerned much interested in agri
cultural pursuits and problems. The
enthusiastic group freely compared
notes, and m ich valuable information
concerning dairy and fruit industries I
was passed around. The recent de
velopments in irrigation and dry
farming systems were intelligent ly
discussed, os were the latest features
of Alfalfa culture and various methods
of preserving soil fertility. The hour
thus spent, proved so uplifting and in
pirlng that the men who remain in
camp will u .’doubtedly enjoy contin
uing like discussions.
Dr. Mitchell Delivers
Great Oration
On Sunday morning last a message
was received announcing the appear
ance of Dr. Mitchell, president, of Del
aware Univ sity, who is to remain in
Camp Hancock several days. He
made his initial appearance in Hut 232
on Sunday evening and was greeted by I
a very large audience of good listen
ers.
A song service consisting of Christ
mas music, and led by Chaplain Har
tls G. Beck, of the First Group, pre
ceded the address of the visiting doc
tor. Song slides were used.
The subject uued by Dr. Mitchell this
evening was “Job.” It was indeed a ;
timely topic, dealing with the man- i
ners and customs of modern life as j
compared with the days when Christ
appeared on earth. The good doctor!
held the audience spellbound for more •
than forty-five minutes. He mention- j
ed that three of his own sons were in '
the army, and that he was proud to 1
be able to do his “bit" for the service i
in the way of lectures to the soldiers
at the camps. Among other things he ,
said:
"President Wilson is now doing the
very thing in shaping the nations of
the world that Christ would do were ;
He in bodily form. The president is ■
living closely to the ideals of the Mas- l
ter. The future of this land will de
pend upon the boys returning from the
camps. Great opportunities lie be
fore every soldier who will work. Ev
en the future school children and their
education will depend upon the army
and navy men who return to their
homes to shape the destinies of this
land of liberty, which is now re-estab
lished on peace terms that will possi
bly never be at stake.”
It is thought that many of the boys
present may never see each other as-1
FRENCH AND CAMP
ter they leave Camp Hancock, so the
most appropriate hymn was sung,
"God Be With You Till We. Meet
again."
As an act of appreciation for the
splendid address given, large numbers
of the boys ca. le forward and grasped
the hands of Dr. Mitchell.
DOINGS OF T 79
The past week was full of events at
"Y” 79. The week was started with the
presence of some of the ladies of Au
gusta coming to decorate our building
and to put that artistic touch that only
ladies can give. The following are the
ladies whom we were fortunate in hav
ing out: Mesdames J. S. Harper. Lewis
Moseley, A. F. JBamfleld. Misses Hayes,
McNatt. Dorsey, Serrell, Crawford and
Richardson, the latter six being teach
ers of Haines Institute of this city.
On Tuesday night the "Y" was packed
to its capacity and the fellows enjoyed
a lively movie, preceded by a sing-song.
Old Santa was present and i ade the
‘men feel the Christmas spirit L. Auving
a present for each man in the buTraing.
Lots of fun was got by the distribution
of the presents. The fellow’s "lined up"
and as they passed the platform, f'addy
Weante gave each man his Christmas
package.
Wednesday the fellow-; rushed in the
"Y" soon after breakfast and at 9:30
o’clock, with f.’lting services, Christmas
was celebrated. Short Christmas talks
were made by Secretaries Robinson, Stal
naker, Johnson and Jon- s, and by some
of the men. That afternoon all of the
fellows went to the city to spend the
remaining part of the day with friends
and relatives and to witness a football
game between Haines Institute and the
Seventh Group.
An interesting picture was shown on
Thursday night and with a lively sing
song the fellows were made to "Pack
up their troubles in their old kit bag
and smile, smile, smile "
Friday' night. Secretary Shields of 238
came over to us and delivered one of
the most instructive, interesting and
lively lectures on “Education During the
Reconstruction Period.” The. men were
all pleased with the information that ho
gave, especially in the eloquent manner
in which he presented his subject.
Saturday night, the fellows spent the
time writing home and to their friends.
Sunday morning, as usual, the fellows
poured into the “Y" for Sunday school,
j Several Bible classes were carried on
under the direction of the secretaries ami
a few of the men.
Quite a number of lively items are
on for the coming week and the men
will b? well entertained w’hile they are
spending their last days in camp.
Stray Shots From
“Y” Tent 238
The faithful men of the 302nd R. L.
B. have expressed their unmistakable
opinion of the value and type of the
Christmas program wntch -was pulled
off this week at. ‘YY” 238.
The “at ease spirit" exercised by the
men made possible what might truly
be called a great Xmas.
The military authorities joined the
“Y” men in making home-like holi
days. The “Y" tent and mess halls
were artistically decorated so as to
harmonize the Christmas nations and
ideals.
Monday’ night a large crowd gath
ered to hear a speech by the Honorable
Judson W. Lyons, ex-register of the.
treasury, of Wallington, D. C. The
affair was conducted by Secretary K.
D. Reddick, who mastered the situation
and saw to it that, the expectation of
the hour was fulfilled.
Tuesday ifight the Exeellsia Quartet
of Augusta which is known throughout
Georgia as real singers put on a big
hit with their new songs. It was the
wish that the whole camp could have
heard the melody, harmony and expres
sion as was exercised in their singing.
Wednesday night ve featured the
old plantation Christmas night. The
chorus singing and special program
was conducted by Secretary 11. M.
Shields who has had 15 years experi
ences as a pastor.
Secretary Nelson, of Springfield,
Mass., was the speaker of the evening.
Mr. Nelson was accompanied by Dr.
, Sparling, who also spoke to the highest
appreciation of all present.
Thursday night was soldiers’ night,
and was spent as best pleased the men.
Such as singing, dancing and piano
recital contests being the leading fea
tures.
Friday night Secretary R. H. W.
Johnson bf "Y” 79, lectured on “Libe
ria.” Mr. Johnson is eminently fit for
this task' because he was trained in
the standard schools of America while
a native of Liberia. He understands
the situation there as no more ob
server could. His lecture was receiv
ed with much enthusiasm.
The Baseball game on Thursday be
tween Companies A and B was highly
exciting, the victory falling to (Join
pan y B. The winners challenge any
thing in the Seventh Group.

Dere Paw, If I had rote yu sooner i
wud hav posted this letter earlier and i
yu would hav a chanct to let me kno
quicker in yur anser wether yu could
spar me $5 11 v dollard or knot. It may ,
seam Strang that soldiers should ever
kneaed money or go brok when their ■
weigh is paid with rationals, shelter and
30 wheels a month and seconds to wear )
that fits yu to the quick, but strang '
though it may appear there is always
those that if civilian suits was sellin
for a scent apeice ho wouldn’t hav money I
enuf to buy the arm-hole of a vest.
What they do with their dollar eighty !
they have left after their lotment and •
insuranc is paid God only nose.
When the war busted I was one of i
the first 5 million that stood right be- |
hind the Pres. Os course some of us ;
was quite a ways behind but just the '
same he knew where 1 was and if he
wanted anything special done he had my
number there in his offic and knew what
it was and that's moar than I ever done i
unless 1 look at my steal tag.
T hav been remoted fast since my re
duction into the service. I was only on
the Monopolization Camp ground 4 days
before I was made into a craporal with
a sqab of my own to drill. When i come
her on the Dixie Flyer at 8 miles an hour,
I was made into an M. P., not a mem
ber of Parleyment hut a mounted police
to stand on a soap-box and to tell peo
ple yu didn’t know anything when they
asked yu. It was also yur duty to find
out what way they were going and make
them turn around and go the other way.
As soon as I learned the way Augusta
lay the Captain thought I was gettin on i
to Military Secrets too fast ad this time ;
he promoted me. to K. P. This job is
next to a mess sergeant but not quite so
much money or influence and yu don’t (
oat with the men.
There is a great deal of revalrv be
tween Augusta, Ga.. and Aiken. S. <*..
and a fellar from Augusta said he liked
the way his town was laid out and the
fellar from Aiken said his town was
dead all right but It wasn’t laid out yet.
This is an old one Paw but 1 never heard
it before. They say when Sherman ■
inarched through Georgia he went around
this town. If yu ever lived here yu’d
know why. Os course yu heard what he
said about war. He got that impression
down here and we’re all strong for Sher
man. They say at first he intended to
burn the town but later decided to let
Nature take her course.
I drew an overcoat the other day but
I never was lucky on the draw and I
aint changed much. The only time It
fits mo is when 1 look in the glass and
(hen I have a reel tit. The pockets are
so far down that ( have to get on my
knees to get my makins. T wanted to
get something out of them pockets in
the tent the other night and the boys
quit swearin until T got up. They thought
I wa ssayin my prayers.
I met the supply officer the same night
and he stopped me and asked me where
I was takin the tent. The U. S. Govt,
is certainly the most generous to its sol
diers in the world. There is enuf cloth
in a sleeve of that coat to make me a
uniform. Vtill the Govt, says we don't
have to keep them when we go back to
be civil again and that's good news.
One of my bunkies thought he wud
hav got his discharg if he listened hard
enuf so he pretended to be deef and got
with it until the Doc threw a half
dollar on the floor behind him when both
of his ears turned rite down toward the
sound. Ils hard to fool the Medical Ost
lers. The cook dropped my bread in
the sand yesdaV and I didn’t no it ontil
I got. a few pebbles between my teeth.
Then 1 hit him with both of them and
the K. O. had me on the karpet an when
I tele him that I enlisted to fight for my
Country but I didn't agree to eat it, he
thought 1 was so smart that T needed
more develluping so I’m here. This is
where they send fellars that show un
usual intelligent;.
Well Paw, I see the Kink of England,
just to show he aint favorin him because
he’s a relation wants to hang his royal
cousin Bill Hollerin but Wilson says no.
That wud b? lettin him off to easy. Our
Pres, is a lorgivin man but just, an he
says i’m in favor of sendin him to drag
out the rest of his miserable existence
in Augusta and to ride up Walton Way
every day in a Mule Ambulance, This
seems too severe, to me but as i say I’m
behind the Pres. Woodrow he knows.
Don’t forget the $5. The soner yu
anser the more i will be glad to hear
from home.
Yur lovely son, Joe Benor.
