Dear Folks:

Well here I am again but in style this time, notice the writing paper Cecil and I were down to the Army and Navy Salvage Sale and bought some stuff. We also got 40 envelopes for 5 cents this tablet cost 5 cents.

I made 75 cents when you sent up that $1.00 for I can get my certificate for 25 cents when it is for the military purposes.

I have another boil on my arm and boy is she hurting. I bought a bottle of glycerin to-day and made a poltuse out of it and Epsom salts it is to head but it has to be drawn out yet.

Peacock came over to the school to-day and told us to get our certificate and two references in a hurry for our applications for the A.F. were coming and we have to have these references before we can fill them out.

We also asked him if our course really was shortened but he says that it hasn't so I guess we get another two months of this. Peacock didn't know how long xmas holidays we have for that comes from Regina.

The aironautics are trying to get a hockey team we had a try out last night. They are going to pick out the best players to make one or two teams. I don't think I will try to make into the team because for one reason I am not good enough and for another it would cost me too much.
