Excerpt from a letter from Private Claude Stoller, Pr Det #2, Fort Casey, Washington: “When I got my first two month’s pay in a lump sum, I realized that thought what I wanted to do with it was clear, the way in which to do it wasn’t. That is, I want to save my money to finish college after the war. The college I have in mind (il va sans dice) is BMC. So, instead of putting my money in a bank, or investing it in bonds, if I could ‘invest’ it, so to speak in BMC, towards my future tuition, it would simplify things. Or would it? I don’t know, it’s only an idea, but if enough of the college’s students in the armed services did the same, mightn’t it make some difference in BMC’s financial status?”
Born to Mr and Mrs Edward North Jenks on March 20 a son. He has been named John Daxter Jenks.
