ly they don't need many surveyors
over here. Maybe I'll have better
luck getting mail here, I hope so.
I haven't received any mail from
home in about 6 weeks now, I think
that all the,.mail that has been
sent to me ever here has been lost
somewhere, Lord only knows when it
will catch lip to ire. -I've been
moving around quite a bit,, Really
getting a good look at France. So
long for now, Au rbvoir

The Valley seems to be rather
freakish lately. For the post two
nights there has been rather heavy
frosts toward the Butte. Toward the
Talkeetna side of the Ve.ll y there
were no frosty nights. This is due
to the Northeast wind. We are glad
that this most unpopular, wind is
good for something. One man said
that the wind blew so hard last
night that the frost didn't have
time to stop.
As a result of the frosty nights
the lettuce and celery are pouring
into-the Produce Department unt 1
one pan hardly get through. In 'act
erne almost needs a traffic cop *n
the're. It is too bad-that the f”ost
can't pet up the hens a little oit.
rhere hasn't been any eggs In for
two days. The.last that did come in
were sold right off the candling
