on the scale six inches to a mile, contour interval ten feet. It looks to me like a fairly tall order. This week we had our second day on the rifle range - shooting the rapid fire course (200, 300, & 500 yds.) - ten shots a minute, approximately, and the pistol course (15 & 29 yds.) rapid fire - five shots in twenty seconds. Pistol shooting is much more fun than rifle shooting. I want to "get up" on it so we can have some fun when I get back. (Since I've been here I have "backslid" from my notion about going into business, and now think of going back to school.) Mother writes that Father has bought a Chevrolet, as the Ford he bought last spring has not yet been delivered. There goes the whistle, so I'll go too. Good night Bob Browning
