Malheur County, Oregon at Nyssa, Oregon for transmission Malls, as second class matter, under of March 3, 1879 W H AT SERVICEMEN WILL W A NT What the American serviceman who has seen months o f combat on foreign battlefronts is thinking about is indicated in a letter recently received from South Pacific area by William A. Schoenfeld, dean and director of agriculture at Oregon State college. The letter was transmitted from New Guinea by Lieut. Gordon R. Sitton, a graduate and for mer member of the school o f agriculture staff at Oregon State college, who said it had been written by a master sergeant in the army air force who preferred to remain anonymous. The letter reads in part: “ How changed will the soldier be when he comes home from war? Take the boys in my outfit for example. W e left the states one mon th after Pearl Harbor;and haven’t been back since. In the two years that the Southwest Pac ific has been our home, we’ve been bombed, shelled, strafed, invaded. W e ’ve slept in mud, lived on bully beef and tea, gone without mail, sleep, cigarettes and soap for weeks at a time. “ He realizes, of course, that he is changed. But with sublime optimism he expects that once he is back, the iron in his soul will dissolve. He is counting on his girl for that. “ When ne comes home she’ll notice the d iff erence in him. A new firmness in his manner, a new hard set to his lips. He’ll be more candid in saying what he thinks, less reticent to voice his opinion. “ This new hardness may be distressing at first-it may even make him seem a stranger spir itually. “ Most of us were gentle souls before Pearl Harbor. W e accepted imposition or injustice without protest as a rule, because w*e shrank fr om the unpleasant tension of arguments, .but no more, the Army code of equality teaches a soldier to insist upon his rights in addition to being conscious or his obligations. “ His manner will be brusque, perhaps even rough--and his language will require a certain amount of translation. He’s not naturally pro fane, it’s just the army way of talking. He will probably be a bit cynical, too. He may be re sentful of local personalities who have benefit ed financially from the war effort. “ He particularly will not want to listen to cousin Fred talk about “ Tough times on man euvers’’, nor to Uncle Frank describing the hardships of night work as an air warden. Nor will he be overly fond of Aunt Matilda when she prattles about having done “ her bit’’ by ser ving soup at the local USO and selling a few war bonds. As a matter o f fact he will definitely prefer the company of one who says quietly “ glad to see you back Johnny, it’s been a long time--maybe a dinner and a show if you’re not doing anything tonight?” .

The pupils in the Owyhee school Old Oregon Trail last Wednesday. gave an interesting program on the Talks on Oregon and its history and the origin of the Old Oregon Trail were given. A paper written by Mrs Martha Klingback from facts given her by Mrs W. W. Smith, who her- self came over the Trail at the age of eight years, proved a fitting close to the program, as the children claimed her as their honor pioneer lady. A post was set, indicating the original trail. Each pupil furn ished a small rock for the founda tion. serving them broiled, suggests Mrs Makinson. This is done by removing the stem, cuting them crosswise, sprinkling them with salt and pep- per, adding chopped onion and eit- her strips of bacon or dotting with paeon fat.
