-. "Just a little note from one of
the 'boys' away from home . .
I had an experience this morn
ing that I thought you would be
Interested in; I can't tell you
where I am, of course, but it
surely isn't very close to home.
"And then this morning we
were served pears again. Fresh
ones. And this is the label that
was wraoped around them. My
heart sort of skipped a beat. Not
that I am very sentimental, but
gee, the memories that came to
mind. - i
"I could Just picture myself
riding out South Riverside and
seeing that white building, Bear
Creek Packing. And it didn't
take me very long to let the fel
lows know that it was from the
good old Rogue River valley,
either. And were they good) But
that Just represents the whole
valley good.
Xaap 'Em Coming
"As I said before, if you knew
where this was and the whole
story behind those pears, It
would really be a story, but that
will have to wait. And I Imagine
that I'm not the only one of the
boys away from home that is run
ning Into these home products.
"So, may I say to the folks at
home, 'keep them coming;' they
surely are good."

BY MAIL CARRIER
A eomnlalnt charging OR,
Kilpatrick with assault and bat
tery was filed yesterday In jus
tice court Kilpatrick is acnea
uled to appear this afternoon.
According to the district attor
ney and sheriff offices, Kilpat
rick, who resides on South Oak-
dale avenue, is the owner or a
German police dog. Recently
when a mall carrier approached,
the dog attacked him and the
mall carrier kicked the dog. Kil
patrick is then alleged to have
come out of the house and be
rated the mall carrier.
Authorities reported several
complaints had been received of
the dog charging at pedestrians
and paper carriers. The mall car
rier, rather than take any more
chances with the dog, is said to
have stopped at neighboring
houses to request the owner to
call the dog from the yard, so he
could deliver the mail.
AUTO INVENTORY
DUE BY JAN. 11
Car dealers of the district were
reminded by the local war price
and ration board today that an
Inventory of all the cars in their
possession must be filed with the
local office not later than Jan. 11

line ration which the local war
price and ration board issues to
the original owner when the ra
tion books are turned in and
which, with the tire Inspection
record, must accompany the car.
The new procedure has been
worked out to avoid Illegal use
of gasoline ration stamps when
automobiles change hands.
