Price 60c Letter from France August 2, 1918. Dear Dad, , I wired you4 the day I left Nantes telling you that I was well and back at work, and hope the message reached you about the same time as my letter tell of my accident. I came back to St. Jean that afternoon and was mighty pleased to get away from the hospital and back to St. Jean. However, I found a lot of work awaiting me and I've been terribly busy ever since I arrived Lot's of things that I had left instructions to be done had been done wrong and I had to have them all done over. Things are beginning to get in shape now and we are expecting our first students within a few days. Several days ago I was officially appointed O. I. C. (officer-in-charge) Training, and have also been put in command of all the students so I will have my hands full. Besides a lot of first and second lieutenants, I have one captain under me. He is in charge of our armory and takes orders from me. That's just a sample of the organization or rather the lack of organiza tion in the air service, . We have several machines here now and are doing some flying. Several days ago I took my first flight since my accident and it felt good to get up in the air again. I'm not going to fly often, tho, until I am stronger. Day before yesterday another pilot joined the 'Deep Sea Divers' Club." He was flying out over the sea and got too far from shore and his motor step ped, so He hud to land in the sea Before getting' to the water he 63 991 68 942 250 178 849 71 and the sergeant 1 unfastened their belts and when the machine settled in the water they, hung on to the floating plane until the boat got to them and brought them in. Neither ofthem was hurt. We have three motor boats just tor rescue work m such cases: no Monday and Tuesday nights, there was a concert company here and they gave us two fine entertainments. The company was composed of four mighty ice t rencn gins ana we had a very good time. with them. One of them sang Faust" in the states in 1912 and she knew all the-American slang. : Last Sunday afternoon several of us drove up to Fromentine to see a ball game between the naval aviation men and our men and after the game we rode down to St; Isilles and had din ner there. This afternoon late I went in bathing and there were some good breakers coming in so I 79 enjoyed it and it made me feel mighty gcod. , We certainly have wonderful location here and the health of- the. command is fine. The camp too is beginning to get in fair shape and we have a, fine officers' mess. I hope to get the pictures you had taken in Memphis soon. I am enclosing a picture of me and my Nieuport taken just after arriving trom lours and one taken the next afternoon of my machine after it had been haul ed out of the sea You can -look ai the wreck and know that the Lord was good to me. It is nearly bed time so I must stop. .Lots of love to alt Your loving son. Gilbert Morrison.

To my Sunday School Class: My Dear Friends and Teacher, Just a few lines to let you good people know that I am still thinking of you. Evidently you . people have wondered where the boys of our class were, well I have been wondering' the same. So if there is any way of getting their addresses for me I would sure appreciate same. Well I will endeavor to tell you what I can about France and the war. France is the most beautiful country I have ever seen. I don't blame the French for fighting so hard for it. Everything is so historical and built so nice and strong. I have spent some time in the very front line in a very famous spot, with Uncle Sam's very best men. I am with the marines and if you will call back a few days you. will see just what we have been through. I will say this much, what Sher man said about war is no com parison to this one. He was only in a little family fight. I wouldn't take anythipg for my experience so far but I would give the experience before me now to be with you good peo ple this moment. Believe me, it is great f sport for those who like that kind, but for myself I had rather play ball, tennis and go to parties. When you go up to the lines and those' big- high explosives burst around , you, your hair sticks stMigh up, v you shake hlleTgobd old jello, you get cold and begin te wish - you were a gopher so you could go straight dQwn. I tell you, friends, It is some sport if you don't get hurt. 'Wel I must close for this time as I have told you all that I think is permissible, so I will now ask each and every one of you to drop me a line once in a while, for you don't know how lone some it is over here and a letter is sure a heart ease. Well friends, good-'bye for this time wishing you the very best of health and pleasure until we meet again. I remain 'your friend, Earl Grauer. Address: E. S. Grauer, Phm. 3 C U. S.

National Defense As in all other war activities, so(in the Woman's Committee of the Council of National Defense, we have the omnipresent ques tion of funds necessary to carry out the work. At a recent meeting of the District' Chairmen of the state, which was presided over by the State Chairman, Mrs. Edward McGehee, 'it was decided that each county raise at least $K)O.C0 for its own use simply by asking each and every person to give 10 cents. Okolona will, in this way, raise $50.00 and Houston $50.00. If 500 people in east Chickasaw will give 10 cents each, nobody will miss the small individual amounts and, with the aggregate, the Committee will be enabled to continue the work that it must do.' Mrs. Mattie Davis is Chair- man of the finance department, and will enter immediately upon the work oP soliciting this amount. Mrs. L. P. Haley, . , Chairman Publicity Dept.
