The Bell-Enterprise last Friday enjoyed a visit from Pvt. LeRoy Ahmann, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Ahmann, who was home on furlough from Long Beach, Calif. LeRoy has been in the Army 16 months, and is in the anti-aircraft division of the Coast Artillery. He arrived here just in time to hang up his socks for Santa Claus, and was obliged to depart last Friday, being home exactly one week.
