I have not tasted their beer or whiskey but am told the beer is sweeter and has higher alcoholic consent than ours and that the whiskey is mosily of Scotch type, though it does not have a very high alcoholic content. They themselves eat mostly meat, though the army has its better balanced meals. The government controls prices here, which are quite reasonable. I think .the most expensive meal costs about eighty-five cents. For some reason or other they don't have the art of making their beef tender as we do, but other than that their food is all right. The streetcars, called trams, are open and though large enough have a small seating capacity. They have male motormen, but women walk through the trams collecting fares. It was a bit hard to gqt used to the money, which has the pound note as the basic bill, worth $3.20 in U. S. money. All in all it is not a bad country but I would not think of trading it for the good old U. S, and am looking forward to the sight of Green street with no little .anxiety. Until then I'll hare to be satisfied with the Plaindealer, for which we servicemen owe so much. B'Bye Noiw, KEN FRANZEN. Especially interesting was the fact that Ken's four page letter came Vmail, each package in a different envelope, yet all arriving in McHenry in the same mail. Dear Mr. Mosher:- Thanks a lot for serftfing'tlie Waindealer to me. It really is nice to read about your home town and to know all local news. The one thing we service men like is the service notes. It sure is nice to know where the McHenry men are and what training they are getting. I'm going through my basic training here at Fort Bragg, which consists of thirteen weeks. They have an obstacle course of many jumps apd obstacles you crawl over. Sincerely, PYT. LEROY E. MEtERg, "Fort Bragg, N. Carolina Dear Sir: Due to the increase in station personnel, the mail service has becoifte rather poor at the statiion. In order to reduce the amount of incoming mail at 'the station the commanding officer ordered that all persons living ashore have their mail sent to their shore addresses. I am sending you my address so that I may continue to receive and enjoy our McHenry paper. Since you last heard from me I have been promoted to second Class aviation machinist's mate. Things are really going strong out here now. When I first arrived here a year ago, the base was nothing but a farm house with three airplanes in a com field. But now it is a modern air station with hundreds of planes. I want to thank you very much for sending the paper for I enjoy it very much. * VERNON KRAMER, Kqkomo, Indiana. Dear Sir: I, too, would. like to express my thanks to you and to all the others who are making it possible for we lads in the service to receive the Plaindealer each week. Getting your pape( is like meeting a friend from home each week and I greet it with as much enthusiasm as I would if I were meeting a friend from there. It's swell to be abld to get all the news and to hear about all the folks back home. I like my job here at the field a lot because I'm doing very much the same type of work I was doing in civilian life. Working conditions are very pleasant as I have charge of a group of men now and I'm able to have a lot of t: ne off. I also have the opportunity » fly every now and then so I that helps the morale quite a bit too. I Well, I guess I've rattled on enough for this time, so I'll say so long and thanks again for the paper. Regards, CPL. JOHN M, STANGARONE, Gulfport Field, Miss. Three Ten-Thousandths of an Inch ^ Axis sub commanders know that a Liberty ship can turn on a dime-- maybe it's because the final machining of the steel pinions which help drive these great merchant ships through the seas must be accurate to three ten-thousandths of an inch--work which is often done in air conditioned rooms where the temperature cannot vary more than four degrees. This prevents expansion or contraction due to variations in temperature. Just another rea* son these ships are good!

Card of Thanks We wish to thank all our friends for floral offerings, spiritual bouquets, donations of cars and especially wish to thank Father Daleiden for his Jig-Saws Save Metal A technique of "cutting out paper dolls" and making "jig-saw puzzles" of them is helping to solve one of war industry's toughest problems --the scarcity of vital materials. Thousands of parts cut from flat sections of scarce metals go into small motors, huge turbines and other complex electric apparatus contributing to the motive and firing power of weapons of war. Many of these parts are made from flat stock sheets. Some are simple circles, some are triangular and others have unusual shapes resembling stars, banjos or top hats. A few are as complex as the microscopic pattern of a snowflake. But when laid out for cutting from stock sheets all must be nested so closely together that only a narrow strip of metal will remain as scrap. Subscribe for The Plaindealer) THE ADAMS FAMILY. Oeer Wintering Outlook Michigan's deer herd is beginning the winter with a double handicap, the department of conservation in that state announces. Deer are reported yarding up a week or two weeks earlier than usual, because of heavy early snows. Furthermore, the big 1942 fawn crop has swelled the deer population, already high because of excellent surviyal last year. As a result, the department believes that the winter food supply will bff heavily taxed in criiica' areas. N Tibet's Money Butter Is one of the oldest known manufactured foodstuffs.
