oncl son and Mr. and Mrs. Lawrcn- Corpprnl John Crocker, formerly connected with the editorial department of the Intelligencer and now a company clerk 'with an out- lit of the armed forces in Northern Ireland, has written several interesting and descriptive leters which will be published in the In- telligencer. The letters were carefully prepared to give no military information beneficial to the enemy, passed the censors without any eliminations. An army officer at Scott Field said the publication is icrmlltcd as long as military secrets are not violated.

The letter published Saturday was written only two weeks ago. Brief mentions are made about the welfare of soldiers in general with comments upon the possible entertainment. The letter was i on USO stationery. The first letter follows: July 26, 1942 Dear Mr. and Mrs, Giese: I'm sending this to the.

house, although I don't know whether you will be there, or up in good old Michigan by this time-. Unless It has become too though I guess that you are still hanging around good old Edwardsville. Pardon the. repetition there, but whenever I start a i about a i or place buck in the slates, It's always "good old. You-wouldn't understand i you realized what you lindn't missed.

I'm not a i a a i i about Northern Ireland, The whole i is I hat while there may not be a i wrong i i count over here, a i arc plenty of things in the States a make i i there a much nicer place. 1 suppose a the war has a great rlcal to do i it all I hough, since you must remember that this part of the world has been at war for three years now. Really when one considers that fact, It is surprising a things are as well ns they are. Food is not hard for the i i i a to get, They have a reasonable a of i thoug sugar is probably cut down more a a i else. It is purchasable for I i i a but such things as candy and similarly cakes and pies, scarce.

The; latter two ally made i no or very little sugar, which i the population over here might enjoy, don't appear as a delicacy to the average American soldier. We are well provided for, however, by the army i Hie Red Cross also doing a tine bil of work in the larger cities. Each week every American soldier can draw it ration of from two to four candy bars, five packages of cigarettes, three to i bottles--or rather cans ---of beer, a a can or two of i i or tomato juice, a smalt box of cookies and other things. When I mention other things it i such articles ns soap, razor blades, tooth paste, and various i of personal articles of a sort. There is not near enough for everyone to make purchase of those i every week, of course, but is a i i a thai over a period of several weeks a man can get nearly i he needs.

Also every week or two, we may buy cigar, package of chewing gum, pipe tobacco, which puts us In belter IIx a any of the civilians nboul us. I visited in Belfast, which of course is I lie largest city In Ireland. While the war hns probably struck It pretty hard', the town continues to go on. lius and street car service take care of most of transportation, alt there nre a a i of automobiles i around, Many of them, however, nre gov- vehicles, or automobiles used by civilians In necessary-very necessary--business. A good of horse-drawn wagons keep i around, tearing down street at an amazing pare, boys, a not yet of i school age, a them i all the i of an expert.

In fact, most of the farm animals I have seen look like -they might have just stepped out of a livestock show and are in pasture waiting for the next fair.

In Belfast, I wondered If the horses wore temporarily a i the place of the automobile, or if the auto had ever taken the place of the horse. The is a i a i place, and someday, I believe that would like to some back and see Ireland as it really is in pence time. The people are all very i Red-faced and strong, they a along at a pace that is i a fast. I can see where the Hushed complexion comes from because even in the summer time, they have cold, sharp winds a bite i a sting. A good bit of the country is made up of hills and what might be classified as small a i (hough I don't believe many of them go up over a thousand feet.

It is really a pretty sight to so up on one and look several miles across ft wide valley to the next slope. Every bit of the soil Is a up for some purpose oj: BtheTS, gflfl all of IT by hedges and rock walls into plots none which nre more than an acre or two. The svalls show gen orations of work, for in no given 20 years could they have put up so a of them i such art and so strong. That's another i a I read a hns proven true. They always said that I lie farmer found a rock or stone In his pasture of farm land he took it off to the side and a so many wore a i a wall with them, Though a of the walls are only throe or feet high, I have SOPH some higher than a man's head--seven or eight feet.

The higher squares of land are used for pasture, the lower ones for various crops, I i several i grains and potatoes. Few i strips of lund are used for the same crop, so from distance on a slope you can see huge checkerboards, dotted with small collages and buildings. I have bought, many postcards, but have sent but a few of except when I got duplicates. Now I have about 40 put awny that I hope to i back and keep, Willie Mike I are over here together, wo nre separated for the first time after night; months of being together almost continuously. He Is located i a few miles away, and I don't see ot a chance to go seo him, unless the present set-up changes.

I am a i however, a where one goes, the will be close by, and sooner or later we will catch up i each other. Give my regards to Pat and Gurry and everyone elso down at the office, and maybe one of these yonrs we can all get together and talk things over again--I hope. i fondest: regards JOHNNY P. S. I almost forgot to i a I'm i Rolling the While Isn't coming in every diiy, once or twice a week, a boat: lands some placo around here and drops off a good cargo oil mail, Including five or six Intelligencers.

Boat mail has been i about five weeks behind, but we get. good airmail service In approximately 10 days, and also have access to V-m'ail, which takes maybe 2 weeks, or cnblogrtfins, which Is about 36 hours, I understand. I like to get letters, but I can pick up more stuff from one "I' a from an average dozen letters. On the night they come In, I'm usually up until 10 or 11, and, usually read cl'ose to every line. Still looks good, and makes me all the more anxious to get bnck.

JHC The woman, who is going to walk down the-street with a man in uni- 'orm ought to be twice as particular as usual the way she ooks. To begin with, If a woman is carelessly turned out, the contrast jetween her and the spic and span- ness of a man in uniform with emphasize every careless, slip-shod about her dress. Her stringy hair will look stringer, her run over heels will look sloppier, her too flashy outfit will look more gaudy. And she hasn't any right to detract from a service man's- appearance. She does that if she isn't dressed neatly appropriately.

That uniform of his stands for something, It means something to everyone he passes on the street. But it doesn't loo.k quite so good ivhen the man wearing it is walk- ng along a city street with a woman in sloppy slacks, a rumpled nouse dress, or a dress with a halter top. Servicemen are taught to keep their uniforms spotless. They are taught how to carry themselves so that they look proud of the uniforms they are wearing. But even if they would like to, they can't tell their women that, they are going to be part of the public picture, Ihpy ought to be equally particular about their own dress and grooming.

So this is telling them for the servicemen who would like to. If you're going to walk down the street with a soldier, be sure you do him and his uniform proud, The renting of rooms brings an extra Income In many homes.

One new preparation of this kind comes in a handy little round paper box with a shaker. If you use it faithfully, following just a few minutes 'attention to your nail edge and cuticle, you'll have lovely, well- kept noils.

Other home care "musts" are your file nnd emery boards, an orange wood stick, cotton, cuticle oil or some other softener (olive oil or peanut oil will do, if you're budget-bound and don't mind the odors.) Watch the nail edges, and smooth them at the first hint of ragged or irregular growth.
