ELLIOTT LAVOY WRITES
TO RELATIVES IN NEWPORT
FROM FARAWAY FRANCE
Elliott Lavoy, who has many
friends here, and who is now in the
front line in France fighting the ene
my, has written interesting letters
lately to his sisters, Mrs. Fanny Her
ring, who lives a short distance from
Newport, and Mrs. Vivian Gochenour
of Newport. Young Lavoy tells of
battles in which he took part and de
scribes the bravery in which the
Americans are meeting the Hun and
throwing him back at every point.
Newport and Jackson county are j
proud of their boys over there and j
have confidence in their ability to!
help greatly to bring the war to a
successful end.
LET’S DO OUR
BIT AND KEEP
OUR BOYS SMILING
An American correspondent tells
us that our boys in France are al
ways smiling, even when they enter
the trenches, when they charge, and
when they return from battle. If
they can face death with a smile,
certainly we can do our part at home
without grumbling. And that part
consists in producing all possible,
consuming as little as necessary, and
buying War Savings Stamps with our
savings.
