THE VALUE or A FRIEND

by Agnes thompson
What is the meaning OF one dear
friend?
1t is worth the world OF gold
1t makes US think OF sweet remem
brance
OF the story that has never been
told
A friend is the heart OF this story.
And a very dear heart to me
Friendship is the cry of freedom
From here far across the sea.
This world is engaged in battles
We know not when the end will be.
And know that our boys are lighting
For friendship and liberty
Weare sending our soldiers over"
To stand the nations test.
While the red white and blue is wa7.
ing
We know they are doing their best.
We take most Of all our troubles
And carry them right to heart;
But still We think Of our dear friends
Who are always doing their part.
We look ahead 70 the future

with City Engineer Sparrow in see
ing that the paving was done in the
very best possible manner.
Mr. Aler was called before the
