LOCAL AND PERSONAL

- Sgt. Oliver G. Lee returned home Thursday. He had been stationed at Camp Pike and was sent to Camp Dodge to receive his honorable discharge. It is needless to ask "Twisy" how he feels as he looks mighty fine.

- Oliver Iverson came up from Camp Dodge Thursday to spend his few days' furlough with his parents here. He returned Tuesday morning and does not expect to get back to Ruthven again until the middle of the summer, when he will receive his discharge.
