Hello. Hope this church view from Ohio is o.k.

Yes, I have Calif. pals, both card and

pen pals. I have a few pals who ex-

change more than 1 card at a time but
it is hard for me to do so as we don't
have many different views here. I'm

clerking in a down town drug store. Like

it fine but get so very tired. It is very

interesting work. Meet all kinds of people.

Snowed here all day and doing it

yet real hard. Look for a big one

this time. Don't you

think Jan. is going

fast. Sincerely
