YOUR FRIENDLY STORE COMPLETE GROCERY Featuring Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Write a Letter to a Serviceman It was our pleasure to hear Chaplain Leach’s and Sgt Van Sicklin’s talk at the Congregational church Mon day evening. The one thing stressed by both of them and especially by Sgt. Van Sicklin was the need for writing letters to the boys in the service. They pointed out that the men, a long ways from home, looked for ward eagerly to mail call and those who received let ters apparently were in so much better frame of mind, that the tasks of the day seemed much lighter and they carried on the work in much better attitude than did those who received none. It was a timely and worth while advice that they gave—to ask that mothers, wives and sweethearts take an extra half hour or so each evening to write to their boys in the service. And while they did not say so, we might add that a cheerful letter to those boys is what they need, not ■one telling of all the big or little troubles at home. Many of the troubles of men in the campe, away from home and family, is caused by their worry over the problems of home life. Write a letter today, but do make it a cheerful one. of life th a t dem anda Intelligent followers.

Churchill has announced the casualty list of civilians is growing and it is to be expected that property damage is high. Continuing reports from England would make one believe that the problem is getting to be serious as it continues, with English civilian morale lowering as fresh reports come of continued bombings. At first one would say that the Allies, with its huge fleets of bombers should retaliate, and are in a position to do so, by bombing the cities of Germany, aiming solely at destroying civilians, a thing Allied military authorities have apparently refrained from doing, aim ing their bombs at military targets. Personally we do not believe that would do any good, it certainly would not cause the Germans to let up on the use of the robot bombs. They probably would retaliate by killing or torturing of prisoners of war in their hands. We should say that they wanted to really hurry up preventative measures, it would be better to go after the sites of launching these bombs, with the invasion army, to take the launching sites away from the Ger mans. Thig would put a stop to it quicker than any other method. ★ ★ A Knowing the human race as we think we do we fell pure that a lot of people who have been planning on buying so many things after the war ends, won’t be interested in them as soon as they find out they can have them.
