From a desert training center in the far West, S/Sgt. Wendell Phillips writes The Bell-Enterprise under date of December 26. He formerly was stationed at Camp Barkeley, Tex. He says he has gone through some rigid training and spent two months in the mountains, but refrains from giving his present location. Sgt. Phillips hints of preparations for an overseas trip and says he will supply a new address within two weeks. Meanwhile he says, “I am wishing you folks a very Happy New Year.”
