Stevens, B.S/40, writes, in a letter of Sep[ tember 11: "This battalion was recently scheduled for shipment to the J States, and thence, after a furlough, to the Pacific. But the quick end of the I war caused the War Dept. to change these orders, and, although our future activities aren't yet known to us, it seems likely that little while. "At present, we are not engaged in operations, but are attempting to keep the men usefully employed, while waiting for new orders, with an educational and athletic program. I am teaching classes in French and German by the Linguaphone method, and having a good time doing it. We play Softball every afternoon, and have occasional tours to nearby points of interest. This camp lies in the heart of a very old part of the country, culturally speaking. Salisbury is 17 miles to the south, Bath is about 25 miles northwest, and Stonehenge is between here and Salisbury. There are plenty of evidences of old settlements, Stone Age, Saxon, Roman, Norman, etc. We are about 3 hours from London, too, and all of us make an occasional trip to the city." CpL Stevens' address is Heytesbury, Wilts, England. A charming little sketch by Technical Sergeant James Still, B.S.'31, appears in the July issue of the Atlantic. The story, "Mrs. Razor," is told in the idiom of the Kentucky mountains where Mr. Still was formerly librarian of the Hindman Settlement School at the fork of Troublesome Creek. He is now with the Army Air Forces. An American Red Cross staff assistant in Naples is Madeline Cord Thompson, B.S.'37, M.S/42. Mrs. Thompson, formerly administrative assistant in the Processing Department, Library of Congress took a fifteen day training course with the Red Cross last summer and left for Italy on August 7. She assists in planning recreational work for servicemen. In a letter of October 9, Albin H.
