SPRING WILL COST YU L: V. Fires, Mines, Invasion Mark Letter From Hiehard Newburn "We plan on pulling an in-- vasion late today and then low- ! er our ooats and hit the beach tomorrow," Ricnard V. New- j burn, tireman apprentice wro.e in a letter received by his ! mother recently. His mother is j Mrs. Berniece Newburn of i Piattsmouth. The letter written February 8th predicted the invasion, but j since he was unable to mail the letter for several days. Richard gladiy corrected it. In another letter he wrote that "ve neve, marie that invasion, although vve sat out by some Utile island and fired 5-inch shells at it." The shells are timed to go off after they hit, which will do quite a bit of damage when bur ied under the ground a couple feet, he predicts. He tells of picking up about 200 soldiers at Olson, which his ship took to Inchon. "They hadn't had a bath lor months and they went down to the bathroom to clean up, got all their clothes off and crawled in. But there wasn't any water as we were on water hours and they didn't know it." Richard admits that he had to laugh even though it wasn't funnv. A couple of other things that hf tells about weren't so funnv either. LETTER BOX Several times it has happen ed that visitors from outstate have had difficulty in finding our place on account of a lack of street-markers. In August, 1949. contributions were solicited for this very purpose of pur chasing and placing new street markers throughout the city. To date apparently nothing has been done, nor has there ever to my knowledge a report been given to the public. Now surely the public is en titled to a report and. further more, if the money which was contributed for street-markers is not used for the very purpose for which it was given, it should be returned to the donors. An early report is requested. Yours truly. Wm.
