Excerpt from The Link, Vol. 6: April, 1948
However, this, like every type of training, must be done by the numbers.
First, roast the wiener. Somewhere near you will find a green stick, sharp ened at the point. Bayonet the dog. There is a choice between the lateral and the longitudinal attack. Whichever you try, your neighbor next to you at the fire will Open an argument with you that your manner is the poorer one; in the heat of his tirade his frank falls into the fire and he stops the chatter to go back to the table for another. Nine times out of ten the flame will be too hot to approach with a ten - foot pole, and your face will blister along with the wiener.

Excerpt from The Link, Vol. 6: April, 1948
Vernon Howard (A Merry Mix-Up, page 3) dropped his first successful manuscript into the mail box on the very day that a certain Austrian corporal ordered his goose-steppers into Poland. Since then he has sold numerous short stories and articles to various Christian and secular magazines.
After serving with the U. S. Infantry in the Pacific theatre, he has turned to his typewriter and is expecting great things of it. We hope that, with his help, it will live up to his expectations.
George Hall (Springfield, U. S. A., page 14) pursues writing as a hobby during the spare time he has from his position at The Library of Congress. He enjoys reading and the out-of-doors, is a Pennsylvanian by birth, a graduate of Bucknell University, is happily married and the proud father of a young son.
Jerry Cowle (Reunion, page 22) worked for the United States Forest Service previous to the war, but after serving as a Lieutenant in the U. S. Coast Guard in the North African and European theatres, the Salerno and Normandy invasions, he found, like many others, his ideas of a career had changed. So now he is in an advertising agency in New York City and quite pleased with his work.
The incident told in his story published here is based on actual fact, for Mr. Cowle did meet a man he disliked during service life. When they met again after both became civilians he found himself glad to see him and became aware of the bond forged in those days of danger was stronger than had been realized.
Max Robin (Unknown Soldier, page 24) believes that a story should comprise the major interest to our readers and the contributor be reduced to an anonymous, humble medium.
This modest writer makes his home in New - "York this miniature world which he so truly loves," and keeps tuned to the world about him for whatever might come his way to report and interpret.
James A. Huston (Prayers on the Elbe, page 29) is an instructor in history and international relations at Purdue University. After receiving his A. B. and A. M. degrees at Indiana University, he took further graduate work at New York University during which time (before the war) he was assistant to the minister at Park Avenue Christian Church.
During the war he served with the 134th Infantry during most of the combat in Europe. After discharge from the Army, he returned to New York University and received the Ph. D. degree last spring.
Mark S. Reardon (My Orders Are., page 32)has had four one-act plays produced on Broadway and has produced over thirty-five silent moving pictures. Mr. Reardon was unable to take an active part in the recent skirmish with the Axis because of his health, but during World War I he served as adjutant and interpreter in Paris and St. Nazaire.
We are indeed happy to bring to link readers a story from the pen of this fine writer.
