Dear Editor:
Wouldn’t it be possible for Nys
sa to put in a foundry to help area
industry’ and Lady Bird Johnson
by using up all the old cars in
junk yards around this part of
the country? We have the Snake
river and the railroad.
We should build another sugar
factory and let the farmers grow
all the sugar beets that they want
to raise.
It would be a good idea to have
a contest suggesting best ideas for
new industry by all citizens EDITH WILLIAMS WRITES

The young missionary plans to

You can talk of things to send him
While he’s away to do hi* part;
You can puck and send his parcels
Full of cookies, jams mid tarts;
You might knit him nice warm
sweaters;
Send him cigarette* and such,
And I’ll giant you they will please
him;
But—I'll bet you not half as
much
As that little <>!' thin letter,
Dated back a week or so,
From a mother, wife or father,
Or a friend back home he
knows.
It doesn't have to lie so lengthy
Just a note to say "hello."
Maybe that the cat has kittens,
or that Junior's caught a cold
Or that the tires are wearing thin
ner
On the faithful family car
A bathroom faucet leaking—
Or some neighbor had n fire.
Just the plain old family gossip.
The stuff that happens every
day,
That’s the news that you should
send him
While he's serving far away.
if you could see the wild commo
tion
When the mailman hollers,
“MAIL!"
See the boys ull grill» their letter*
And sneak off down some quirt
trail.
Then everybody gets real quiet -
Till the mail lias all been read.
Then you’ve got to sit and listen
To what some certain writer
said.
They'll even read you certain
highlights
Of something special here and
there—
Or maybe let you sec a snapshot
Of their lovely lady fair.
Yes. if you feel patriotic—
Feel the urge to do your bit,
if. . ji i igiit io take hka cookfiu,
Or to join some group and knit,
But. I’ll tell you something better,
If you should have a little time.
Just pick out some lonesome
"Buddy;"
Sit right down and write a line;
For I'm sure there’s one thing cer
tain—
No matter where your boy
should roam—
There is nothing quite so welcome
As the Mail he gets from home.
