Dearest Mother and Dad:
I wrote you about three weeks
ago but I am afraid it hasn't gone
out yet. The mail is likely to go
out tomorrow so I am writing a
few lines today. I will send a
wire to Audrey, also, so you will
be hearing from me before this let-
ter reaches you.
I have been doing quite a bit of
construction with my platoon and
have learned lots. I am also Motor
Officer and have learned lots about
keeping trucks and equipment in
operation with a minimum of spare
parts. I also take care of buying
for and operating a company ex-
change. Although it has been hard
to get into town to buy supplies
lately. Another duty of mine is
supervising the operation of the
mess, and you should see the oven
I had built. I hope to put it in
operation tomorrow and then we
should have plenty of hot biscuits,
light bread and doughnuts. I have
an excellent neucleus of mechanics,
cooks and carpenters, which makes
things run smoothly.
I received another bill from the
Camp Bowie Post Exchange. I
sent the bill to you and hope you
have taken care of it? before now. |
Has my allotment started coming
through yet ? I hope so, as it was
effective in March.
The soil is certainly fertile where
we are. I'll bet you could grow j
most anything. It rains practical-
IN LOVING MEMORY OF MISS
PEARL TAYLOR
Nine months ago Pearl left us,
For a better home beyond.
Her death was very sudden,
For she drowned in Richey's pond.
She always had a smile,
And a kind word or two;
But now she's gone to Heaven,
Where she'll make friends anew.
Of course we'll always miss her,
For she left a vacant place;
But we'll meet her up in Heaven
When we have run the race.
She was put here for a purpose,
And was taken for a cause;
We could understand it better
If we would only pause.
Although it seems so difficult,
Someday we'll understand;
That is for the best
When we reach that happy land.
A True Friend,
Helen Greene.

Letter From
Sgt. J. T. Goodroe
Dear D. P.:
I just received the Citizens Jour-
nal. Sure was glad to get it. It
has been about two weeks since I
have gotten one.
Well, I feel like I am home now,
back in the South. I have been
here two weeks at the south post
of Fort Oglethorpe, or Chicka-
mauga Park.
This is where the North and
South fought so many battles. I
almost fight with the "Yankees"
myself.
Is sure is hot here compared to
the Minnesota weather.
I have been promoted to Staff
Sergeant, and Ralph Kirkland, who
is from Atlanta, has been promot-
ed to Corporal.
I read in the "Journal" that some|
of the boys are in Georgia, so may-!
be they will see this letter and
write me.
We are only eight miles from
Chattanooga, Tenn. We have re-
ceived orders from Washington
that we, the 701st Military Police
Battalion, is the best Military Po-
lice outfit in the country. Since
we arrived here we demonstrate
different problems at the M. P.
officers who go to school here.
There are lots of officers from
Texas here. Guess I had better
close.

ministration. In the case of al-
most all dairy products he has de-
livered a-plenty, and right on sche-
dule, too, he states.
On the other hand, J. O. Clarke,
chief of the central district of
th e Food and Drug Admin-
istration, has served notice that
war conditions, far from leading
to relaxation in the vigilance and
enforcement activities of his divis-
ion, will probably bring closer
watchfulness over all who produce,
handle and distribute the food for
out citizens, our armed forces and
our allies.
Fats are of particular import-
ance, with shortages existing or
impending, and butter, as one of
the vitally necessary foods, is in
for special attention. In normal
times, Mr. Clarke points out, in-
spections were made chiefly of the
finished product but, now that we
are at war, any and all steps deem-
ed necessary to prevent the waste
of food that results from poor
quality must and will be taken.
Hack of each instance of confis-
cated butter, says Mr. Clarke, al-
most invariably it will be found
that the cream from which it was
made had spoiled because some-
thing was done wrong, or some-
thing was left undone, along the
farm production line. The law
covering the production, sale and
handling of food has teeth in its—
teeth designed alike with the care-
less, negligent producer of unfit
cream and the manufacturer who
puts bad butter into the channels
of commerce—and the Food and
Drug Administration will not hesi-
tate to use them.
Cream that has been allowed to
spoil cannot be made good again,
and to avoid a possible run-in with
the law, state or federal, the farm-
er must make clean milk, rather
than cleaned milk, his goal, ac-
cording to Mr. Clarke. Particu-
lar care must be taken to prevent
particles of any kind from drop-
ping into the milk or cream, dur-
ing milking or separation or while
being held on the farm. While
much of the foreign matter which
may enter can be strained out of
the milk, the full wholesomeness
of an exceptionally delicate food
product, once harmed, can never
be wholly restored.
The days of the poor cream pro-
ducer are numbered, Mr. Clarke
believes, because more and more
creameries are learning the wis-
dom of buying cream on grade
and rejecting any that is unfit. He
suggests this simple test for farm-
ers wishing to check on the qual-
ity of their cream even before it
leaves the farm: If you taste it
and want to swallow it, that's
good cream; if you taste it aruUspit
it out, that's poor cream; if you
won't even taste it, that's bad
cream. Ultimately the law will
catch up with the producer and the
buyer of bad cream, but even those
who produec or buy the doubtful
product are on pretty dangerous
ground.
