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.

Robot Bomb Damage
Reports from London indicate that the damage from
robot bombs is getting to be more extensive and per
haps much more severe than was first expected.
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.

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.
