terials to Europe. Therefore we still
have war.
1 would like to ask them how they
would feel to be in Europe. Also having
all their friends and relatives killed,
Stop selling the war materials. ask OF
you to tell your parents about this. The
reason is that many men, women and
children are killed during the war. The
father leaves his wife and children and
goes to war never TO return, The mother
of the children has to work very hard
TO feed them. Sometimes there is moth

you pop corn cut one Of the raw kernels

haps YOU think that little hole is empty
It is not That little hole is filled with
air. '.- 'e.'.
When the corn is put over the fire, the
