Mrs. Gerald ran outside call- ing for aid and was heard by Chief Harrington in his yard on Pember- ton Road.

CHIT-CHAT COLUMN
Dear Folks;
Just a note to belatedly let you know how much I have appreciated the Jeep. I just received the Dec. 14th issue today and since I'm a little lonely here at my new base, it was very timely. I was in town for two days in Nov. while on leave but I picked the days when snow fell so didn't get to see you and thank you personally.
My wife was with me and liked the town despite the weather. I thought the weather might prejudice her a little as she is a Virginia girl.
I want to heartily second what everyone else has said about the Jeep and what a swell little paper it is. I've missed a few copies while moving, but always look forward to receiving it.
I'm now stationed at Brown Field on the Mexican border and hope to stay put for a while. I expect to live in town here with Mrs. Kneeland soon. My address at present, though, is C.A.S.U. 66 Metal Shop, c/o Fleet Post Office, San Francisco. I'll be looking for the next issue.
As ever, Fred J. (Buddy) Kneeland,
AM 1/c.
P. S. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to All.
Thank you so much for your very interesting letter, Buddy. We sin- cerely hope the New Year will be a very happy one for both you and Mrs. Kneeland.
