Was in receipt yesterday of the Christmas package sent me by the club. Although late, due to.the rush- ed condition of the parcel post, I was able to rescue most of the package, and you may be sure I was not alone in the sortie upon its contents, Every Jack is.&ehsitive- wheh it comes - 8 bells ‘' (mess time), and you may” be sure that the sweets worked $onders between bells. I wish to thank you all for the kindness, and I also.wish that ess will soon be over with, but until Kaiser Bill is able to talk our way. T am now on:my sixth month in the navy, and like the life very much. Of course it is not equal to peddling milk, as I would rather be doing my trip on the milk route every morning; but we cannot always do as we wish, and sometimes it {s well that it is so. Since enlisting I have had varied ex- periences on different ships: 1 was first put on a mine sweeper, mine- layer, then torpedo boat, and finally not “{on a submarine chaser, where I am at present. I expect to be sent foon with the merchant marine. Ofie is given in the navy opportunity for ad- vancement, not alone in rank, but al- S0 1n education, if he so desires. Fraternally, CHARLES B. PALMER, Shorten Up on the Whistle Blowing. Among the conservation efforts in Jewett City with a view to the saving of coal is that being made by the As- pinook Company, the Ashland Cotton Co., and the Textile Novelty Co. in the blowing of their whistles. Instead of the long blasts seven times a day the whistles are now blown but five jor six seconds each time. Those in the boiler rooms know that after a five minite blast, on one of these big Whistles as on the Liberty Loan day, it requires several hundred pounds of coal to restore normal steam pressure.
