Greetings from Community Church
This first copy of The Jeep will surely find a welcome with you all. The name of this periodical startles me. Perhaps I do not know my jeeps as well as I should, At any rate it appears to be a rather diffi- cult name to live up to. I have never ridden in a jeep but from observation it appears that
this vehicle is something of a cross be- tween a motor-car and a jack-rab- bit. They go anywhere, over any- thing, under any obstacle, over hill and down dale. Quite an animal is a jeep. Well, your Cochituate friends seem to have that spirit as they follow you all over the world. The pastor and people of Commun- ity Methodist Church are happy to join in this effort of your home community to keep in touch with vou while you are away. We are doing all we can back home to keep things in good order against the day of your home coming. May that day be soon.
Sincerely yours,
DAVID M. ANGELL, Pastor
JEEP
That clever jeep was drawn by eleven-year-old Edward MacAdam. Edward is a pupil of Cochituate's Dorothy Gallagher at The Conva- lescent Home for Children. He also
made three wonderful posters an- nouncing the publication of this news sheet. One poster was placed in Gerald's News Store, another in Nesbit's Store and the third in Kohler's Store. What a thrill it would give Edward to receive a let- ter from overseas. In case you are interested he is Edward MacAdam, Drawer B, Babson Park Post Office, Wellesley, Mass.
Main Street Briefs
Howard Phillips is still holding on at the same old stand, "The Co- chituate Motors."
The Socony man, Frank Burke, is a busy man these days with his snow plow and the ten inches of snow all around town. The plow isn't working as well without Eddie to hold down the back end. When the snow has been cleared away, Frank spends his time polishing his Lieutenant bars that have been put away these last twenty years. He promised them to the first one of the three pals to get his commis- sion. The competition is between Arthur Selvitella, George Fullick, Jr., both corporals in the Marine Corps, and Francis Burke, who was recently kicked up to S/Sgt.
Walter Scheufele greets one the Post Office, although he's not feeling quite up to snuff.
at
Pat, the barber, has been spend- ing a lot of time in his window this winter. Guess he must be looking for you fellows to bring back the necessary shaves and hair cuts. The old town is pretty lone- some these days. We hear Pat's son has been discharged from the Army.
The bright spot of Main street is Benny Johnson's drug store with his new clerk-ettes. (Valentine sales were boosted 100%). Don't forget to stop in on your way home and take a peek.
Meredith Hodgman has left the First National store and has gone to the First National in Medfield.
Mrs. Gerald, with the able assis- tance of Mrs. Crimins and Dickie Dew, is holding on gallantly at the old News Depot, waiting for you. Reed, to get back from China.
Ernest (Jake) Damon is the gen- darme in charge of traffic (?) since your good friend, Harry Craig, has been on the sick list. Harry was a patient in the Chelsea Naval Hos- pital for some time, but he's now convalescing at home.
Mrs. Gertie Bishop has the read- ing room,-new curtains and all,- open, ready and waiting for the service book-worms to get back. She wants all the boys home on fur- lough to feel welcome at any time to come and take all the magazines they would like. The magazines are donated by all your friends and relatives; and they're yours to keep.
Next in line on Main street is the Pioneer Store percolating as hearti- ly as ever. Mr. and Mrs. Tivnan hold fort inside while "Sport" K-9 Tivnan keeps the steps swept with his long tail.
Now we come to the most popular man in town, "Our Meat Man," Ar- thur Peck. Red ration points or not, you always get a warm wel- come. The meat comes in late Fri- day p. m. and on Saturday a. m. you tip your hat before you step to the counter, and if you're lucky you might get a pig's foot.
In Peck's back yard is George Lewis, the real estate and ration board man.
Sadie's Lunch had the brightest sign in town until the "brownout" dulled its glow last week.
Tommie Bowles' Texaco gas sta- tion is still open and running with the small amount of gas available. William J. McCabe is in attendance, while Tom is away all day "a-work- in' on the railroad" firing on the B. & A.
"The Stein," not open all the time now, is looking forward to brighter days ahead. Aren't we all?
No, we didn't forget Legion Hall. It's still there, its sides bulging with meetings of many public spirited groups, in addition to its Legion meetings. As always, we salute the Red Cross on the job several nights a week folding surgical bandages at the hall.
On the opposite corner is the package store, now under new man- agement, and greatly enlarged, tak- ing over the entire first floor of the Perodeau block. Ed Lucier and Oz- zie Garvey are the two genial clerks.
This is like a checker game. The Roy Hallenbrooks are moving from King street to the W. Common- wealth road apartment, recently oc- cupied by the Ernie Pelletiers. Ernie, Gladys and the baby have moved to the second floor apartment in
Ernie's mother's house on Main street.

Chit Chat Column
Pfc. Joseph C. Starrett is cer- tainly seeing Europe as he has just sent home his fourth A.P.O. ad- dress and told of crossing France from the south to the north, sleep- ing in snow, without any heat ex- cept a little oil stove in the back of his truck. When they arrived at their destination there was al- most two inches of frozen mud on the gun.
Pvt. Roger L. Furbush at present in Belgium says they have lots of snow and cold weather there. Wish- es he could meet some Cochituate boys over there. Would also like to hear from any former Arsenal boys now in the Service, having worked there himself before going Cochituate for remembering him at Christmas.
2nd Lt. Gertrude E. Martin, graduate nurse from Deaconess Hospital, joined the Army in 1942. Assignment to Fort Adams, Rhode Island, and then to Fort Devens for overseas training. New Year's Day, 1944, she was on shipboard, bound for somewhere. Next reports placed her somewhere in England, which proved, after she had left there, to have been in Wales. A nice safe place in parental thought, but not near enough the front to suit a restless Medical Corps. Next to Normandy, to Paris, to some- where in Belgium. Now the nurses are living in a seventeenth century castle with its moat and drawbridge, but also with modern electricity and showers. Nursing long hours in a specially built tent-hospital. Not much to say about the work, only an occasional item such as the pe- culiar feelings in tending German prisoners, or their attempts to
please the Belgian children that come to them for care. Theirs is a job to do and they are doing it.
Pvt. Bob Scotland of the 489th Amb. Co. Motor was in Belgium when we last heard and had been working day and night, almost without rest, bringing in casualties, but is now having somewhat of a rest in little Belgium village where he slept in the house of a
Belgian family. He said it seemed great to sleep in a real bed between sheets. He said they were surround- ed by fir forests covered with snow which under ordinary circum- stances would be beautiful. The temperature was 10 to 20 degrees above zero there and they had about eight inches of snow.
Pvt. "Bill" Scotland of the 512th Engrs. Lt. Pon. Co. has been some- where in Germany for some time and has been pretty much on the move. At one time he was sleeping in what was the coal bin in the cellar of a German house. He was surprised to find the German homes much more modern than the other countries he had been through, with all modern electrical appliances. He was pleased to receive a letter from Bruce Morrell written from a hos- pital in England.
The ground hog came out on Candlemas Day, saw his shadow- thus another six weeks of winter.
The Community Gift Box Fund
is constantly receiving thank-you letters from you servicemen and women all over the Globe for the Christmas boxes which were sent. That is the least the people of our community can do for you when you are doing such a grand job for us back home.
Perhaps we women aren't a bit envious of Mrs. Dorothy Robinson, who has received some lovely ny- lons as a gift from her husband, Leland Robinson, RT (3/c), now in San Diego, Cal.
Capt. Francis Gallagher writes his mother that he and the entire company spent Christmas hiding in a coal mine in Belgium. "The black- est Christmas I ever had," says Fran.
When the red ration points get too low, we can still head for the Studio, where you get the best fried chicken and spaghetti, and if you're still hungry the hamburgers are good too. "Boss" Kerr has been on the sick list but is improving rapidly.
Sebastion Selvitella of Maiden Lane recently received a letter from his son, Pfc. Arthur Selvitella, U.S. M.C., stationed in the South Pacific which said: "I am recovering from my second attack of tropical fever. During my convalescene I received letters from Pvt.

High School News
George Marcantonio, U. S. N. of Stonebridge Road visited the high schocl during the past week and ex- hibited to the students some of the souvenirs he collected in the past six months overseas. Some of the articles displayed were: a German helmet, an old French rifle, a German hand grenade, a German uniform, all types of shells both German and American. The stud- ents enjoyed hearing of his ex- periences and hope other boys in the service will come to visit the high school.
Wayland High School held its an- nual valentine dance in the gym last Friday, February 2.
The teams of the High School have really been tossing baskets, polishing off Ashland and Acton. It might be fitting, tho hardly neces- sary, to mention that they are still working on that Weston Jinx. Bus Transportation for athletes being still prohibited by federal regulation considerable difficulty has been en- countered. However, we hope for an early end to their problems.

Wayland High has almost com- pleted its basketball schedule. Win- ning four of their first seven games the boys have been trying hard and stand a good chance of winning the four remaining games of the season.
The team is coached by Francis R. Gladu who is assisted by Thomas O'Connor.
The first team is composed of: Edward Maley, John Daly, Charles Bowers, Alan Thomas, Thomas Egan, Peter Starrett, Richard Ben- son, and Francis Laughlin.
The second team is composed of: Richard Burke, Harold Carver, Al- fred Damon, Jerry Schofield, James Garvey, George Butler, Charles Russell, Francis Henuset, William Costello, Daniel Laughlin, and Mur- ray Stahl.
The four games yet to be played are Southboro, Weston and West- boro.
FOOTBALL Good Record For Season By Wayland High
Starting from Scratch the Eleven Won Half of Games Played
Wayland High, after a season's lay off has ended this season which the school began with one Letter- man on the squad, with a successful record.
Coached by Francis R. Gladu of the faculty, assisted by Thomas O'Connor, former Holy Cross player, also of the school faculty, the eleven won half of its games and held an experienced Weston High team to a 14 to 6 victory.
Edward "Red" Maley, quarter- back; Bob Moran, left halfback; and John "Bud" Daly, fullback, and the only letterman on the squad, were outstanding yard-gainers and scor- ers. Daly played for Wayland two years ago. The team loses three seniors for next season, Maley, Daly, and Guard Bob Hardy. Next season, Westford will be on the schedule
and a better showing is expected, with this fall's experience behind the boys.
The season's record: Oct. 7, de- feated, 30 to 0, by Hopkinton High at Hopkinton; Oct. 20, defeated Cambridge school, at Kendal Green, 20 to 7; Oct. 28 defeated by Millis High 21 to 7, at home; Nov. 3, de- feated Natick High Jayvees, 7 to 0, at home; Nov. 10, crushed Acton High, 48 to 6, at home; Nov. 18, lost to Weston High, 14 to 6, at Nicker- son field, Weston.
We are commencing to sense the coming of spring, here in Old Co- chituate; the season when new things come to life. Not to be outdone by Nature, this wonderful new way of getting more news to all of you has come to life with a bang, and let us hope it has a long healthy career.
We have resumed all three sports again at the High School, overcom- ing the transportation problem one way or another, and hope to be able to continue. A brief resume of last fall's football and the basketball games up to the present appears un- der another heading. From now on I feel certain that we will be able to give you this news before it gets too cold. Hoping that a thought or two about some of those good old contests, and a bit of news of what the boys are now doing will help a lot while you are waiting for your turn to get in there and pitch.
