NEWS of the Boys in the Service.
Pvt. Leonard A. Witt, of Pampa, Tex., arrived Sunday, having a 15-day furlough to visit his parents, Mr. and Mrs. August Witt of Remsen. In order to have more time at home, Leonard used the airlines. He entered the service in anticipation of service in the air, but an old football injury proved a barrier and he is a member of the band.
