Have come so close to meeting some of the boys from home but at present I haven't had the time to visit them. One in particular is Danny Lindbohm. His ship has been in and out of here several times and one day I had obtained permission to visit him. Had planned all that night of seeing him next day and when I was about to start out his ship was steaming out again. Well, At the time of my previous letter the prospects of my coming home looked quite satisfactory but appar- ently the situation changes again. Evidently duty calls again so by the time you receive this letter I'll be out on high seas again. You can imagine the disappointment I felt when I was looking forward to com- I hope the next time will be more . successful. I wish to send personal hello's to some of my old school chums such as Art Selvitella, Charlie and John Butler, Kendall Dickey, Walter Hamilton, Bruce Morrell and Frank Merrill, and yes, to all of my acquaintances. Would like to ob- tain Gerald Baker's address so any ing home and now the scene has to : acknowledgment would be greatly change. Well, that's military life for appreciated.

I realize one can't say all he would like to say when using V-mail but my time is limited. Have so many last minute things which have to be done and so little time to do them thoroughly but thought I would forward my new address so the Jeep will be waiting for me when I return from this patrol run. In
closing, please keep the press roll- ing this way.
To All, my sincerest regards,

We enjoyed your letter no end, Russ. We hope when this edition of the JEEP reaches you, you'll be making definite plans for a trip home.

Cochituate Motors Softball Team is in first place in the Suburban Softball League although the Cush- ing Hospital Enlisted Men defeated Cochituate in a 10-inning game 7-6. This was an exciting game all the way. The Motors took a 5 to 0 lead through the first half of the 3rd. Cushing put on the pressure and cut the lead to 5 to 3 in the last of the 3rd. With the score 6 to 4 at tin end of the first half of the 7th the Medics pushed two more runs across to tie up the ball game. Both teams threatened but not until the last of the 10th did either team yield a run. Then with two outs and a man on third a Cochituate player dropped an infield fly ball and the winning run scored.

CITATION :
Sebastian Selvitella of Maiden Lane received from the Command- ing General of the 5th Marine Division the bronze star citation of his son, Arthur. The quote of which follows :
"For heroic achievement in con- nection with operations against the enemy on Iwo Jima, Volcano Islands on 20 February 1945. Private First Class Selvitella, a crewman in a pla- toon of an amphibian tracto battal- ion in support of a Marine division, upon hearing of the need for a guide for amphibian tractors from the beach to the front line units volun- teered to serve in that capacity although fully realizing the nature of the job and the necessity for con- tinuous exposure to enemy fire.
"Throughout the day, even though work had practically ceased on the beach due to heavy enemy fire, Pri- vate First Class Selvitella continued to guide amphibian tractors to their destination and by his cool judg- ment under fire and disregard for his own safety he was instrumental in supplying vitally needed items to advancing troops. By nightfall, although suffering from continued exposure, he refused to be evacuated until a competent relief could be trained. His actions were in keep- ing with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service."
Art has served with the Marines in the Aleutian Islands, Guadalcanal, Guam and Iwo Jima.
Ploss - Rousseau
On Sunday afternoon, September 2, 1945, Miss Rita Ploss, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Pierre Ploss, of West Plain Street, became the bride of Mr. George Rousseau, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wilfred Rousseau of Hast- ing Street, Framingham, at St. Zepherin's Church, with Rev.

A BROTHER'S COMPLAINT
Sis is going with a sailor, at first it didn't faze us, But now the family's talk is full of sailor's salty phrases, We found it hard at first to follow all his speech, Since talk is different on board ship than it is "on the beach." When time to eat comes round, he sings out "chow" for food, And always "stows" it "down the hatch," which grandma says is rude. When chatting during dinner, he talks like other boys, Except to call the lettuce "grass," and celery just plain "noise." His salty talk is slangy and hard to understand; He calls canned milk "iron cow" and sugar he calls "sand." His many names for coffee certainly are a joke;
He calls it everything from "mud" to "joe" or else "jamoke." The spinach he calls "popeye" and grandma always squirms, When asking for spaghetti he cries out, "pass the worms!" The chicken he calls "sea gull," the ketchup is "red lead"; The waffles are "collision mats," while "punk" is mother's bread. But when he called the pepper "fly speck," ma near called a halt ; Fried fish is "pedro pork chop," "sea dust" his name for salt. Sitting beside my father, he needed elbow room; He looked at dad and said, "Mate, rig in your starboard boom." We finally caught on though, and now are doing fine,
We say "fifteen hundred" for three o'clock when we are telling time. When ma goes to the city now, or runs down to the store, And someone asks her whereabouts, we say, "She's gone ashore." Sister calls the floor a "deck," to hear her talk is sport, To her a roof is an "overhead," a window just a "port." Then too, if someone gets "fouled up," or some trouble comes,
When pa complains, ma always says, "Now, dad, don't beat your gums." Now pa doesn't tie his tie, instead he "bends it on";
While grandma says, "The kids shoved off", when the fit is real tip-top; But if it's not so neat she says, "That lash-up ain't so hot !" When pappy goes to work these days, we say, "He's turning to"; While mother "swabs" and never mops the way she used to do. This place has gone so salty which makes me lots of trouble, For when ma says "come here, chop, chop," I must go "on the double." I wish that "Tar" would "weigh anchor" and do what oft I think; "Point his bow" and "trim his jig" and go jump in the "drink."

We are glad to report that our JEEP is gaining popularity with civilians all over the country as well as our servicemen.

According to what we hear they spend happy hours reading and then discussing its contents.
