Pa. ollieer. who then had five planes to his eredit: 'Cenial I'iIot Day is known by his pals as the Battling Parson because he is the sou of a Red Lion pastor. Day is extremely proud of his uiekname. 'Day beeame an aee Mareh Il when. in a single light. he shot down a Zero and a bomber oll the eoast of Northern Papua. He registered his first kill over Lae No- vember I and then aeeounted for two more Zeros in the same seetor .lanuary 7. Dur- ing the last two months Day has lost sev- eral opportunities to improve his reeord be- eause he was away ou leave or was not posted on the alert when the .lapaneso struek.

A' IT'S IIAINING IN ENGLAND Somewhere in England Dear Editor: I am somewhere in England. The eoun- try all around me is very beautiful. All the grass is uiee and green. It makes me think of home in the springtime. I donit think I will like the weather though. It is too mueh rain and mist to suit II16. I surely wish I I-ould see all the students in my 1-lass again. Sim-erely. ere. Hoy ri. Asirrou. WITH THE IRISH B-2-I Nlobile Training Iluit North Ireland Dear Editor: Our eamp is lovated iu a very beautiful spot. I guess the reason I like it is be- eause it looks so mueh like York County. Quite a few of the rural homes around here have thatehed roofs and part of the barn eombined with house. I just finished building a fire in the stove. The days are pretty warm but the evenings are eool and a little hre feels good. Vlfish you eould see that stovel Itis a square job and looks like a ITOO model. It Causes us a lot of trouble. At first we didnit have a lid so we used a brick instead. Now We found a lid but it falls into the stove ev ery- time we tix the fire. One of the fellows had to fish it out about three times this evening and I gave him the laugh but I had the pleasure of fishing it out awhile ago, so he gave me the dirt right bark. I instrueted maiutenauee men for about six hours today. lNIost of the men weive in- strueted so far seem to think they are learn- ing quite a lot so I guess our little eruise wasnit in vain. Yours truly. S, SCT. DALE KEEPOHTS. NAVY BLUE AND WHITE Dear Lion Stall: I am now writing to let you know that I have reeeived your Hilltop. I really en- joyed reading it from beginning to end. This is my first time to write a letter to the llilltop. If I bungle the job please overlook it. I guess most of you would like to know what I have been doing siuee I entered the serviee. It was early one bright .luly morning that I boarded the train leaving for eamp. The trip was a pleasant one. with a few hours to spend in Washington. seeing some of the sights. Late the same day we entered Camp I'eary, Virginia. This is the plaee where they 'ldeeiviIiZe us. The first thing we did was to get our hair eut, or should I say. heads. The bar- bers are blind Nlaehiriists' mates with Saint Yitus's dance. You are gently hurled into a ehair. the operator lays a elipper on your dome. gags you. and asks questions. Whether you nod dyes or no,', the effect is the same. Your onee proud dome looks like a desert oasis. Then you wipe the blood oil and leave. No eharge. Wlhen the guys are all in the barracks. it looks like a table of unraeked billiard balls. The town here is divided into three parts. One side is the eamp. while the other two are a lnortuary and an insane asylum. You get a thorough examination coming in and you go to one of the three areas. I am in the Seabees. You know, C, B. I'Ie's the only man who eau walk up to a Nlariue. look him squarely in the eyes. and say. Vl'hat kept you. Blltlifu lt's niee in the mornings. The C. I'. U.. that's a Sing Sing warden who has been discharged for erueltyfstamps in and gently sereams, 'Tall out, you guys. Then you regain eonseiousness. dress, wash. brush your teeth. shave, and look for your hair. They feed you well here. For breakfast. they realize you need plenty of energy. They feed you what the Navy r-alls eou- densed vitamin tablets. by the bowlsful. We always ealled them beans at home. Out on the drill held you stand at atten- tion. Attention-that's suspended rigor mortis. This is the way the Navy treated me the first four weeks in whit-h we are generally known as boots. Iloyl Vl'ere we generally known. The only diflerenee be- tween a boot and a prisoner is that the latter eau be pardoned. .-Xt the end of four weeks we were plaeed in the Ilslth battalion. They then shipped us to Camp Endieott in Rhode Island for our advanee training. It was here that we learned the better parts of the Navy. I aiu now stationed at an advanee base depot. At this plaee we complete our train- ing. Here in this eamp I got ninety days of K.l'. Ilere in I-amp K.I'. is easy. The only thing that's wrong with it is we have to wear our whites. Will elose for now. I want to thank you again for the eopy of the 'llied Lion llilltop. Sim-erely. LLOYD KLINEDINST.
