Township Tattle Vol. II No 2 - Millburn Public Library

OUR OWN" "TANKS" CORPS
Pardon us for being "punny" with the above title, but we have received
so many letters of thanks that we have decided to start a new department
and, after all, it was you boys who began 'saying "tanks" instead'of
"thanks" so we're not entirely to blame.
We'll start taking our bows with a letter from LT. F. EVERETT ABBOTT
who pens his praise of our work from a palm thatched shack in one of
those A.P.O. spots. He says that the two big things that keep you all
happy are plenty to do and news from home, and for us to see to it that
our" mine ographod sheet continues to go out. Bless you, Evvyl
PVT. A, N. MARCANTONIO (a new Mar cant onio on our list, by the way)
writes us a delightful letter from Atlantic City saying, how happy he
was- to receive the Tattle,, as it's the only source of news about his
friends he has to date. Ho likes Atlantic City very much, what with
its many'amusements augmented by U.S.O, shows. Y#io wouldn't? Do write
us again, A.H., and tell us what the A. stands for as your first ini-'
fcial. . '
A very attractive scenic postal has come from PVT. HUGH FITZSIMMONS (we
love 'snow-capped mountings, especially in the non-oyster monthsJ) out
at Camp Carson. Colorado. He thanks us for the Tattle and says he always
looks forward to it, Hughie has been made assistant instructor
of machine guns — rat-tat-tat-tat and congratulations J
Another 1 card, scenic .with stars and eagles, comes to us from A/c JOHN
E. WOLF at Waco, Texas who informs us that he is at a basic training
school for-pilots and that he prowls through our publication with interest.
Thank you, John.
EATING GUR OWN WORDS-' '
Goodnessi ~ We got so snowed under with work last issue that we completely
forgot to tell you that • JOHN W, WHITE JRi is now a LT. COMMAN-
DER in the Naval Reserve. 3?erhaps that gleaming extra half stripe. just
bedazzled-us. Anyhow, our belated congratulations, John, and though
we haven't any words to eat exactly, wo are sucking our fingers and
standing in the corner in shame over our se'eming neglect.

multitude of worthy birthdays and will have many, many more, long after
