Don't Worry
During these trying times many are inclined
to worry about their loved ones in the Service.
It is natural to be concerned about their safe
ty, but worry will not help.
Remember too, that in any war, most of the
men return in good condition.
When writing them be optomistic and cheer
ful.
The morale of the fighting units is determined
by the morale of the folks back home
Letter To The Editor,.
I am a soldier. In town the
other clay I met a sailor. I he
two of us agreed on several
things. We didn’t care to visit
the ‘ ladies of easy virtue”; we
didn’t care to sit and drink ill
day. A drink or Jwo would not
he bad, but what to do after
that. We walked out past Al’s
Chicken Inn Next time we’ll
walk out on the other road. Then
w h at?
That’s something the town of
Kodiak should think about
Now is Kodiak going to meet
the challenge that the presence
of number of Uncle Sam’s men
presents? Or is it going to stub
bornly remain nothing more
than a pioneer outpost? Sure,
much has been done. Buli what
for entertainment? A roller skat
ing rink, penny arcade, carnival,
side shows — anything like that.
I know lot’s of fellows who
refuse a chance to go to town
became there is nothing to do.
Myself, I can get a long But
why not get. something going.
I’d spend a little money in town
if I had something besides drinks
to spend it on. I don’t drink so
I don’t spend.
