CLYDE ZIMMERMAN REACHES ENGLAND - Mrs. Clyde Zimmerman has received word from her husband, Pvt. Clyde Zimmerman, that he had arrived somewhere in England.  He reported an uneventful crossing, and said the weather was cold and rainy much like the present Iowa weather.

He was inducted a year ago tomorrow.  He is comfortably quartered and has good food, he reported.  Zimmerman left three weeks ago, and this is the first word his wife received.  He is a graduate of Iowa State college, in 1941.  His wife is making her home in Ames.

Mrs. George Zimmerman has received a letter from Hugo Otopalik who is in the Red Cross somewhere in the British Isles, telling of a recent meeting with her son Clyde.  It was at a Red Cross Club and he was the first boy from Ames that Otopalik has run across, and considers it a "small world" when one thinks of all the boys he comes in contact with daily.

He reported his club has 1,000 beds, and said they feed 1,200 boys daily.  They work on a 24 hour schedule which means hard work and long hours, and he likes his work.  He said that Clyde was fine and sent best wishes to his parents from the British Isles, and hoped they would both be home soon.

Clyde is now a sergeant in the Air Forces, aerial photography division.  He writes his parents each week.
