In it he tells of the influence your letters to the soldiers have upon them. "It may seem exaggerated, but I know from experience'that the letters that reach the Army camp have a powerful influence on the men who receive them. Mostly they arc a good influence. But the letters that are never wrftHWi--the letters' ttttt should be written by those back heme--the unwritten letters are a sad story. "Naturally, many a boy who leaves home for cfemp is going to be lonesome. He is going to look ferpaal ta the arrival of the dafiy matL <Ue Is going to be disappointed if there is no letter far him; and he is going to feel quite blue, if, day after day, while the other boys tear open their lotUjh from home, he has to sit wondethtg why nobody writes to him. I know that this is true because I have seen it happen/ , . "It only costs three cents and a little effort to write a latter, but that letter is worth1 its weight in gold by the time it reaches camp. ' Here is some advice ---first to parents: don't burden your son with a weekly account of domestic troubles; don't write sad, discouraging letters; don't coddle him when he writes home about his "gripes" -- encourage him, cheer him up, make him feel like the family hero, make him feel proud of the uniform he wears, the country he is preparing to defend, and the family he has left at home. "And to the girl friend of the boy at camp I would like to say: don't write about the wonderful time you bad with Tommy on Sunday night; don't write about the dashing time you had with Jimmy on Monday night; don't write him about the thrilling time yoa had with Buddy at the dance on Tuesday night; don't write a whole letter about yeOr write seuaething about him; don't SEVERAL HUNDRED REGISTER The total number of men who registered Monday in the fourth registra- i tion topped the expected number by Instead ef about 275 who wgj% write blubbery letters; dont forget that you can be a good influence to him if you use your head;; don't be afraid to let, someone older amd more experienced than yourself read your letters and seratcft ovt things that may do more harm than goodL ' Finally to one and all--to everybody who has a son or friend ire the tinted States Army--my eac principal piece of advice is: Don't Fail to Write--Frequently!"
