HAWAII Separated lour and
a half years by the fortunes of
war, the Cox brothers, Bernard
and LeMoln of Ileppner were
reunited here recently through
the effort of the American Red
Cross. Assistant Field Director
Stewart Strong made It all pos
Bible and to the Cox boys the
event was a red letter day.
"Why, I hardly knew the kid
brother, he'a grown so," ex
claimed WO LeMoln Cox,
USMCR. The kid brother, AMM1
Bernard L. Cox, USNR. though
youngest of three brothers to en
tor the service, has outgrown
the others and now stands a
bit over six feet In height.

for construction was voted at(

to take over where ever federal
funds are appropriated and Mor-1

Asks for Donations
Ted Smith, chairman of the
local Salvation Army Service
Extension Committee announc
ed that the annual Christmas
letter will be mailed this week.
Many people, throughout the
world, know that the merry
tinkle of the Christmas Kettle
Bells and the cheery smiles of
the bell ringers exemplify the
spirit of Christmas, and are
aware that the coins will be
used to brighten lives of others
less fortunate.
More Important, however, the
coins in the kettles are the
checks which generous-spirited
persons send In to the Salva
tion Army at Christmas.
All of the money is used to
help families In this area,
brightening the Christmas sea
son throughout the county, and
for the Army's vast program of
winter relief.
Funds remaining after the
Christmas season are used for
the continuing welfare program
of the Salvation Army.
Contributions for the Christ
mas work of the Salvation Ar
my in the local area should be
sent to the committee treasurer,
William Siewert, Heppner.

time, the calling of a special
