WRITE TO THE BOYS IN CAMP
LET EVERYBODY HELP TO KEEP OUR BOYS
POSTED WITH NEWS FROM HOME
What is missed mostly by our soldiers
are missives from the old home town. Although relatives and intimate friends are
corresponding with the boys, most of the folks wait for an answer before they again write
to the boys in the training camps.
We are told that this is a wrong method, as most of the men are kept busy
nearly all of their time and are unable to answer the cards and letters as soon as they
desire to do so. Consequently it is up to use to see that our boys are supplied with
letters, post cards, etc., from home. It is one of the happy moments of a soldier's life,
where his name is called by the distributor of the mail. Let us see to it that our boys
from Campbellsport and vicinity will be well supplied with news and comforts from home.
We are publishing the names and present addresses of the boys from
Campbellsport and our rural routes, and we ask that everybody from this vicinity will make
a special effort to send at least one letter, postal card, package of tobacco, or a box of
candy, or some article that you know will be appreciated by our fellows. You know right
well that they are doing the biggest bit in giving themselves for their country, so you
are in duty bound to give them all the comforts you can afford.
Here are the addresses of the men who are already in the service. As others
leave we will publish their addresses, and we ask the parents or relatives of any change
in address as soon as it is received by them.
