FRIDAY, JANUARY 5, 1945 News Exchange Column For Coolidge Men In The Armed Forces reached Fort Worth, Texas, Bowen had time to telephone his uncle. It was 10 p. m. and his uncle, who was in bed, dressed and started to the station to see him, “but the train left before he got there.” To date, Bowen has not received any letters from his family and is sure- ly looking forward to them. His wife and twin daughters left Cool- idge to make their home in Okla- homa City with her mother when he was called to service. He has three brothers in the armed forces. PFC. L. W. McINTYRE writes from an island in the South Pacific where he is serving witluthe U. S. marine corps, to let us know that he is receiving the Examiner. “I have not seen anybody from Cool- idge since 1 left the states. I think M. E. Sweeper is near here, but don’t know his address —would sure like to have it ... I went into the mountains the other day and picked my first banana off the tree —sure was a thrill, almost too much of a thrill, if you know what I mean.” Mclntyre asks to be re- membered to his Coolidge friends. PFC. GUSTAVO S. FONTES writes from Camp Livingston, Louisiana, where he has recently been transferred to the infantry, to give us his change of address. "Since 1 have been moving around so much the past month I have not received the Examiner and I have missed it very much. I hope it starts getting here soon and I would like to get one of the Christ- mas Editions, if possible ... I expect to go overseas after a short period of training here.” His brother, Pfc. Louis S. Fontes, is now serving overseas. JOHN B. BERGUM, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Bergum, was one of 12 sergeants advanced to the grade of staff sergeant in year-end promotions at Florence, South Car- olina, Army Air Field, it is an- nounced by Col. Arthur I.

Ong sends his change of address so he will continue to re- ceive the Examiner. “I sure get a lot of comfort out of reading it." He hopes that 1945 will bring vic- tory and that they will all be home before another Christmas, he says. LT. ROSS McEUEN writes his father. Arch McEuen, from a Ger- man prison camp to let him know he is getting along as well “as well as could be expected.” The letter, written on a regular form supplied by the Germans, is the first word the McEuens have received from their son since August. They are now getting more food, McEuen says, and he has regained some of the weight he lost. "The time has been dragging lately—seems more like ten years than ten months.” Ross, reported missing in October, 1943, when his plane failed to re- turn from a mission, was later re- ported wounded and a prisoner of the Germans. A graduate of Cool- idge Union High School, he asks to be remembered to all his old friends. PVT. JOSEPH LEROY BOWEN, who left December 15 to report for military duty, writes his mother, Mrs. Vena Bowen, from North Camp Hood, Texas, where he ar- rived Christmas morning. “We got here about 8 o’clock and it was raining, and is still raining. I dropped you a letter in Coolidge as the train passed through—it didn’t even slow up.” When they tJOIN The Crowd f*'or A Good Time At The 21 CLUB IN COOLIDGE Full Line of Finest Liquors Also Your Favorite Beer Earl McEuen Billiards We Specialize in FEEDS for Poultry, Livestock, Swine, Sheep 4 Pigeons THRESHING DONE We Have a Massey-Karris Thresher WE HAVE SULPHUR FOR YOUR SOIL (To Meet Soil Conservation Requirements) We Will Get You FERTILIZER To Meet Your Needs MAIZE, HIGERA tad Other Seed Stock Finest Quality Feeds THE ALFALFA HILL CASA GRANDE BILL RUGG, Manager TELEPHONE 194 THE COOLIDGE EXAMINER doesn't Choose to Run Again *.»( fgjjfr Jggpv If® /& -I f m£'A Lady Nancy Astor, who hat been a ttormy petrel of the English house of commons for many years, is shown as she celebrated the silver jubilee of her first appearance in commons at a reception given In her honor.
