Corporal Marjorie L. Wygle, WAC, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L.A. Wygle, telephoned her mother last Wednesday from Switzerland, where she was on furlough. Corporal Wygle, now with headquarters of the air transport command in Paris, France, was staying at a hotel in Lake Geneva. She drew lots with six other WACs for a free cable call to the states offered by the hotel and won.
The Wygles were notified two days previously that the call would be coming through and Mrs. Wygle spent last Wednesday in Clarksville awaiting the call, which came through at 8:30 o'clock in the evening. At the other end in Switzerland Marjorie was awakened at 2:30 o'clock in the morning to talk to her mother.
Mrs. Wygle said that the call came through clearly as though she was sitting across the table frm her daughter.
Switzerland and Lake Geneva, Marjorie said, are "strikingly beautiful", but she spent most of her three minutes talking about things and of people around Greene.
Private First Class Harvey L. Wygle, the other member of the Wygle family in service notified his parents that he too is now overseas. His last card showed him on his way to Japan for the army of occupation, probably in Tokyo.
