Monday evening (class was dismissed after 7:30 for those who bought tickets.) I went into town to see the Sheppard Field production "3 Dots + a Dash" a kind of a musical comedy put on by the soldiers + fourteen Wichita Falls girls. It as lousy but it ran two nights to a sold out theatre so it raised a lot of money for U.S.O. fund. Seats were $1.10, 77¢, 55¢ + 33¢ I bought a 55¢ and it was worth that to see the Jugglers they have a [campful?] of professional jugglers out here at camp who are really good. One good [toe?] dancer + a fellow who tap danced well + outside of that I was very disapointed I guess I expected too much. Gosh I'm sorry we are having such a cold backward spring back home. I'm sure hoping for a good crop year. It is warm + cold down here by falls funniest climate I ever saw. So Dad is having rainbow trout you two should go fishing again down on the big flat rocks in the pasture. If you can't take rides because of gas shortage you'll have to go fishing I guess. Down here in Texas they are more than kicking about the govn't rationing gas so they will have to cut down they pumping + refining operations. I don't believe there is any gas shortage. I guess its just to save tires and it's transportation problem in the east. Got a letter from Bob, Saturday, they got an unfurnished place. Well located and are buying some furniture. There is nice park and lake about four blocks away and Dickey spends most of his time there. Did they take Woofie
