VE NEVER told
you this, son. Your mother
knows it. . . Sometimes she
kids me about it, says I’d buft
a blood vessel rather than let
you get ahead of me. Maybe
she’s right. The plain truth is
I’d rather die than let you
down, give you cause to be
ashamed of me.
It all started back several
years ago, when I gave you a
¿trapping because you came
home with a black eye .
Southwestern Motor Co.
and then I learned in a round
Cow Bell Dairy &
Delicatessen
about way that you had
gotten your shiner trying to
convince some schoolmate
that your dad was "the
ftrongeft, and hneft, and
besteft dad in the world.’’

I swore then I’d never let you
lose your faith in me.
Nothing has meant so much
to me as to see that silent
admiration in your clear eyes
when you looked at me . .
to h<ar the genuine tone of
pride in your voice when you
Introduced me to your
friends, "This is MY dad!”
Then came the war. They
said I was too old to go along
with you • • . was needed
at home to keep things going.
But I’m not letting it go at
that. In addition to putting
in longer hours at the office
I’ve signed up for volunteer
work in the Aircraft
Warning Service. I spend
regular hours out here at ar
army installation. A "ground
observer,” they call me.
Mother’s in the AWS, too
She puts in four hours ever)
fourth day at the Filter
Center, where information
flashed in from hundreds of
pofts like mine is plotted to
keep our defenses conftantly
on the alert.
I don’t mind the extra
hours. It gives me time to
think . . and to plan for a
better tomorrow, when you
come back. "A fellow should
never get too busy to think,
someone has said.
Well, that’s all for tonight,
son. Somehow, it helps to
