That, for me, was 10 years, a wife and child ago, but it seems like a hundred years since I sat there with a ma chine gun, looking out over the snow-covered countryside and wondering what the folks back home in Jackson, Mich., were doing while the Germans were making their last big bid against the Allies in Western Europe. We had the machine gun mounted on a wooden' box because the tripod had been lost somehow along the line. A lot of things had been lost all along our line. I had only the clothes I wore, and they had proved almost a liability ; because the Germans had captured large stores of GI uniforms and were using them so no one trusted anyone. There was a kitchen from some outfit In the town near by and they split their ra tions with us elements of other divisions that had been scattered in the surprise at tack. I had been on duty in Cler vaux, Luxembourg, and sep arated from my regular in fantry battalion. After leav ing there in haste and walking for miles, I'd found some other soldiers, lost like myself. We had picked up an officer or two along the way and made brief and futile stands at roadblocks along the road to Bastogne.

There, I'd heard, truckloads of Christmas gifts were burned in huge blast furnaces to keep them " from falling into the hands of the Germans. I got one package - the following April down in Colmar, France. And so there it was Christ mas, 1944. I had finally at tached myself tor another regi ment of my division and been assigned to the hilltop post. My buddy I don't even re member his name and I swore I'd never forget it spelled me in the bitter cold so I got a chance to go down the hill through a mined field, to a house across the road. The good people there let us warm . ourselves and hang our wet socks 'to dry in front of the roaring fireplace. ' . The kitchen somehow had picked up Christmas rations and gave me a turkey leg, ; some cranberry sauce and dressing, all cold, but darned good after a steady fare of K ' rations - and sometimes no fare at all. There was a small fir tree by our hole and we decorated it with metal strips from cans. The night before Christmas, planes going over dropped long strips of foil they used to fool radar and these helped make our tree one of the best decorated on the Western Front. I remember taking the small card with the ."Christmas-" message sent to all the troops by General Pattern.

He said more than 1200 Army men who ' arrived aboard the transport Breckinridge and Ains worth Tuesday left for their homes by air within a few hours after the ships docked. The transport Gen. Sultan Is due today with 1602 servicemen including 822 soldiers and the transports Anderson and; Ault- man are due Friday with more than 2600 passengers. Indian Tribes Called To Meeting by McKay ; Salem (U.R) Secretary of Interior Douglas McKay, spend ing the holidays at his home here, said ' he has scheduled a meeting with representa tives of the Siletz and Grand Ronde Indian tribes for Dec. 30 to dscuss details of a $3,000,000 lands settlement. The money was recently judged to be due the two tribes for lands taken from them in the 19th century. It is collecting four per cent interest in the United States treasury pending distribution. McKay has also arranged con ferences with state education officials regardng a program of adult education planned to pre pare members of the Klamath Indian tribe for self-government, due in 1958." Farm income in the U. S. Is about 12.8 per cent of the total.

Little ears straining for the sound of reindeer hooves don't want ; to stop listening. Sleep comes slowly when a child's whole . world is focused on the shining promise of tomorrow morning. But Mom and Dad will sleep a little more soundly tonight, knowing they've looked beyond tomorrow morning in their Christmas buying. Like so many parents, they've included a : U, S, Savings Bond among the gifts under the tree. They've Y" given the gift of security that grows right along " with the youngster who receives it Here's why Savings Bonds are such an important investment in yout family's future. Each Bond earns an average 3. annual interest, compounded every 6 months, if held to maturity. And it goes on earning interest for. as long as 19 years and 8. months! That means a return of up to 80 more than you originally paid. Think how much ; a Bond will grow in value by the time your children or grandchildren are ready for college or marriage or a start in business. This Christmas include the present that builds for the future a U. S. Savings Bond. And keep on building through the year with the Payr6li Savings Plan where you work the plan that does your saving and your Bond buying for you. Someone you love will be glad you did.
