IN opportune time 10 demonstrate
that the old spirit Of Kentucky hOspi-
tality has been kept alive. although
many Of US have been away from the
mother state a long time" said c. W
CTutcher. Several OF the Kentuckians
have asked me 10 call a meeting TO
arrange for an entertainment OF some
kind at which at least a repreSen "a tive

I'VE have 40 more ambulance trucks
on the way TO the border" said H g.
Collins. Of New York City. and these
viii give the army surgeons and doc
tors a good chance 10 practice first
