Dear Folks: I am. laying on, a blanket out in the woods this afternoon writing let­ ters. F ive others s r i here too, read- ihr m ich. very mu Several other men. and myself were invited to another wealthy home fo r picnic supper where we spent the rest o f the evening. I received the Heralds and letters and was glad to get the news. A s I told you I cannot'expect to know until the day before just when we will be moved. The group "A ” have already gone. They were sent to dif­ ferent camps. I think our grpup will go soon fo r we have completed the course and are' now getting individual examination, , This examination is similar to the oral examination given at the university for Master's degree. We were issued gas masks a week ago and required to carry them about with us everywhere we go, We breath the air through chemicals when wear­ ing the mask in gas. We have had daily lectures ,on . its use as „well as gas fighting in the battle -zones. We must put this mask on in six seconds and we must hold our breath while, doihg i t Yesterday we were actually exposed to gas so concentrated that to inhale it would result in death in a few minutes. No one suffered any bad effects. This drill makes many think.we will be sent over in medical service. > I hope to get time to write a letter about the Gamp and battlefields here. FRED.

The greatest chdhgd .will be among Ford car own­ ers, who will not be able in. a few months to get 80x8 casings fo r front wheels, This will mean new rims. The order was welcomed by the auto­ mobile as well as the rubber tire com­ panies to reduce the number o f sizes o f tires to be made, It is said that a number o f the tires were, really made at a loss and that the more popular sizes were'sold fo r a big profit to No experiment, a tried out'cultiva­ tor that is endorsed by any one that , . owns one.
