Stars dear editor on thl amp of which the Orient mind cannot understand about our civilization it Haw for the aged to the Oriental mind old people Are sacred. It it beyond their comprehension How we can cast them aside Azul place them under the Cam of some institution. R in a the Point demobilization system is Analysed it seems to can Tain this very shortening children Are rated very High an aged Mother or father mean nothing. Many a Soldier has had a widowed Mother who has taken a Job during tetors the War Jeary when his support was hoping that the Day would i of be too far Distant when he would be released. Por a Reward Shie is now told that she can continue working and hoping. \ Quot a. A pvt if. 8. Id f wants infantry Pear editor our Story is a loft one so suppose we Start at the end. Please Tell us How in the hell a couple of coloured stevedores can get into the infantry. We Are 25 physic any fit and wanting pleading for a Chance to get a crack at the Little sons of the rising Sun. Our earnestness can be portrayed by our willingness to of get a months that we have been Steve doring overseas we want to fight we volunteered for infantry duty last january and were told that we weren to called because the quota had been filled r anyone Reading this knows How to Aid us. We would appreciate it if you Fot us know. A Cpl prank l. Patterson a pvt William q Bell see another slant dear editor j can truthfully say that i nothing fair about the Point system for de mobilizing soldiers. It overlooks the new combat Soldier. If anyone thinks that he has a bed of roses he a wrong. We did no to need any Points to get into the army Why should we need any to get out. A sgt. . Tives former girl friends recent Bosses and other important people you wonder whatever made the trip enjoyable. In fact you sort of get the that you have taken on the Job As guide for the Damn place. If the a mail process of multiple duplication could be carried out the people in the states would get More interesting letters and we Gla would finish our letter writing tasks a lot quicker. . Star classification dear editor when describing stars and their location in the heavens does science use the word layer in my High school Days we were told that the naked Eye could see up As far As the fourth a layer of stars Are stars considered As being in layers a pfc Louis c. When describing the visibility of stars from the Earth the term Quot magnitude is used i.e., a Star 0f the first magnitude. Visibility also depends upon the color of stars. We Are not familiar with the term Quot layer Quot used in reference to stars. A editor. Experienced radio personnel wanted the american pores network has asked acc stance of the stars and stripes in locating experienced radio men men who have worked Rad la station engineers announcers writers producers control room operators or in staff jobs for possible Transfer to the network. Applicants should a Send full particulars on their civilian jobs and their present military status including availability for Transfer and number of Points toward discharge to the executive officer. American forces network Apo 887. Pup tent poets. Pops n Points Given a ride an to utilize Reich stations some of the most powerful radio stations in Germany soon will be broadcasting news and music for american troops it was announced yesterday in Paris. Stations in Munich Bremen Stuttgart and Frankfurt will be taken Over by the american forces network As part of the program to double its number of stations on the continent within the next few months. The Munich station of 100.000 Watts is larger than any station in the ., except wow in Cincinnati. Eleven new stations in France Germany and Belgium will be operated by an which will continue in business until the last american Soldier has gone borne it was announced. Demobilization again / dear editor t disagree with anyone who says that the demobilization plan is As fair As possible. How about the plight of combat men anyone should be willing to admit that one month at Cassino Anzio. Normandy or the ardennes is Worth More than ii months in any base Section outfit. Yet no distinction has been made in this plan. make it worse to rub it in the newspaper insist on speaking of combat credit Battle participation stars Are Given just As lavishly to non combat units As to line outfits. Even purple hearts Are sometimes awarded in the rear but i certainly think that stopping a hunk of Lead is Worth More than the meritorious pounding of a typewriter and that is a that seems necessary to get a legion of Merit or a Bronze Star. The folks Back Home Are not at All aware that these so called combat awards Are also Given it the rear or there would be a much bigger squad about the Lack of fairness in the plan. A Cpl. Joe Goodman multiple a mail dear editor at one time during the War Over Here a suggestion was made which 1 thought was a rather Good one concerning a mail. The writer suggested that a plan be devised whereby one copy of a mail could be sent to six different people. Many of us Over Here try to write interesting informative and descriptive letters of what we see in rest centers and while on pass. However by the time we Nave written a careful account of a trip to Nice to about 17 different rela in your publication see demobilization puts fathers men first Back on Shore it does t seem quite Wise since most single Guys have had less of what fathers go Baths for. A sgt. Louis Mccoy bucking do not like Fried Chicken Fried eggs i simply hate sure would like some Nice Green peas or a Good old Section bight. A pfc. John 6.
