CORNER
FATHER OF MINE
If all the fathers in the land
Were as wonderful as mine,
What a happy, loving world
'twould be
; With laughter and love most
of the time.
He was a man of great true
worth
A friend all were glad to know
A patient, loving companion-father
Yet firm when he thought lie
should be so.
On days when we went walking
Or driving through the country
side We watched the clouds as they
sailed along,
Or stopped to see a flower we
spied.
He taught us to love all nature.
The birds, trees, animals and!
flowers:

MEMORIAL DAY
Great-Grandpa recollects Memo
rial Day
In '78. when observance was quite
new,
(So many minus aims or legs
that dav.
And some were dressed in gray
ana some in blue. I
And 1907. when sailors' sons and
daugniers
Scattered flowers and wreaths on
local waters.
Great-Grandpa recollects a later-
lime 1
In '26, when sorrow's cup did
blend
Around memorial shafts with
hope sublime
That those named here had died
all war to end.
He bows his head for May of '43
V-E Day past, and one grandson
alive.
Great-Grandpa thinks sometimes
3 of '54
With lilacs blooming by the bor's
fence.
Thc neighbor's boy at rest upon
a shore
Half the world 'round for all the
ages hence.
Lost years, lost dreams, the num
ber multiplies.
So many lost young lives. (Great
Grandpa sighs, i
Great-Grandpa holds a child upon
his knee
Memorial Day of I9J3.
Who. having heard all of Grand
pa's tales belore.
Stirs, and importantly inquires,
"What's war?"
Ruth Welch.
FLAG DAY
The flag of our country
With its red white and blue
Today shows its colors
As it waves for you.
The flag of fur country
We gaze on with pride:
Never -stopping to remember
That lor il, men have died.
In this land of America t
Where there's justice for all
H stands for right and order;
Pray God. it may never fall.
The flag of our country
Is our symbol of right.
Forever we must guard it
Through each day and night.

.IIST A PRIVATE
You may boast of all your heroes
Ml their tasks so nobly done
Yet if not fur all the privates
This war could not be won.
MaMcrminds may plan the bat
ties
And strategic things may do
net it's up lo the lowly private
To carrv Ihosc things through.
I
:So next time you drink lo heroes
Who are known from coast to
co.-ist
-lust think of the lowly private
And then drink another toast.
Ben T. Murphy.
