I Dear Fellows:
'
Z
Last year I was given the assignment of writing a column in the
¦ "Maroon and Gold" pertaining solely to our men in the service. From
5 the very "beginning, it looked like a mighty big j ob—there was no
¦ mistake—it was a big j ob.
t
¦
Like everything in its infancy, it started on a small scale. Dur: ing the 1941-42 school year, there appeared on pur list , seventy-five
5 names. This 1942-43 school year, however, has changed the situation
¦ completely. Several months ago, a mimeographed letter was mailed
Z to 410 parents of men who had graduated or who had failed to re¦ turn to Bloomsburg in the last four year. This letter requested the
S assistance of the parents in making our Men in Service list as com Z plete as possible. Along with the letter was a self-addressed postal
¦card which provided space for the name and address of their son.
1 These cards are still being received and to date, 225 have been re¦turned.
;
That list from last year has grown; yes, from a mere seventyZ five to an amount which now numbers two hundredisand sixty-five!
longer can the names be tabulated into a list^it now sheltered
|
¦ No
in three small box files; two of these are reserved for the men staZ tioned in this country and the other for those stationed on foreign
» shores. The latter group now totals thirty-eight.
¦
For a year and a half, it has been my privilege to hold the posiZ tion as Chairman of the Men in Service Committee of the College
; War Council and author of the column, "Life With Uncle." These two
S positions required a great deal of time, but that time could not have
« been put to a more enj oyable or beneficial use.
¦
At the end of last year, I said good-bye because my return to college
seemed doubtful. Once again the time has come to say good-bye
:
¦ —this time there is no doubt. January 24, 1943, I will be graduated
• from this institution and shortly thereafter will j oin the ranks of
: Uncle Sam's figh ting forces.
«
But the work already begun will go on as usual, under the direc: tion of Mr. Bernard Kane. "Bernie " is a resident of Philadelphia and
Z a Sophomore here at college. His record thus far has been outstand¦ing—including the presidency of his class during its Freshmen and
¦ Sophomore years. There is no doubt but that his Men in Service work
Z will also be outstanding. However, he does need your cooperation.
¦In the future, address all letters to Mr. Bernard Kane , State Teachers
; College, Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania. Remember, your letters are
¦needed to make this column a success, so do your bit and he sure to
¦ write.

i
It would noi be) fair to end tins letter without giving due recogI
¦ nition to a person who rightly deserves it. The person to whom I am
¦ referring is the present editor of the "Maroon and Gold"—Mr. John
; Hubiak. It is through his initiative and willingness to work that our
¦school paper has been successful as a weekly edition. His position
\ requires unlimited hours and many heartaches; but his performance
Z of these duties has been admirable. It has indeed been a pleasure to
¦work with him.
"
•
The curtain is now falling on my grand finale, but before it does,
: I want to take this opportunity to say that nothing I have done has
¦been more enj oyable than the Men in Service work. Corresponding
¦with you fellows and working with you has been a pleasure—one
: that I will never forget.
¦
Good luck , God bless you all.

Yours for victory,
!
IRVING T. GOTTLIEB.

Maxwell Field, Alabama.
"This is the end of my second week
hi Pre-Flight School. In two more
weeks I'll be an upperclassman, and
that will certainly be a relief.
"Our quarters are really swell. We
have steam heated, six man rooms—
with a bath between each two rooms!
There are twelve rooms to each bar-

racks and three barracks to a squadron.
"The weather here is fine. The sun
shines almost every day and it is
warm enough to go without coats
most of the time."
