to find a man who isn't anxious to
get out of such service. But we do
believe that jury service is re-

equally by both sexes. A grand jury

It's rather tough, you'll admit,

from the One Girl. That's my
fix.
Even if you like to write letters
which don't-there are some
messages that are not easily put in
words.
Il have found one way to help
the situation; that is, to send 49,.
Il began to send them irrecu-
larly at first, but now am sending
box every week as a special sup
plement to my letters-and double
size boxes on her birthday and
times like that.
IT'S convenient, too. All /
have to do is to leave my order for
her favorite kinds whole-nut
chocolates and French caramels-
at the store here and they are
delivered fresh made from the
80 store in her own city.
"And by her answers l know
that my wordless messages are un-
derstood and appreciated as we'll
