ment saying the people of India

THE OLD JUDGE SAYS...
"When you think of the sacrifices our fight
ing men are making in this war, it's hard to
figure out how we'll ever repay them, isn't
it, Judge?"
"Yes, it really is, Tom. There are only
certain things we can do. Such as... write
them cheerful letters often. Send them
favorite gifts from time to time. Work
harder than ever to provide them with
everything they need to finish their job
quickly. Buy more and more War Bonds . . .
especially during the current drive ... to
pay for the ammunition and fighting equip
ment they must have."
"All that still seems kind of small com
pared with what they're doing for us, Judge."
"True, but it's about all we older folks
back home can do, Tom. Except one more
thing. And that is to be sure our righting men
come home to the same kind of country they
left behind. The kind of country their letter
tell us they want. Nothing changed that
they don't want changed while they're away
and unable to express their wishes."
