With this question came a hearty
laugh, The recollection pleased
him Immensely. Without waiting
for reply. he told me that st
was Is. +, on the ice lie was
a Kitchen Policeman up at Sewer
Into the twelve months since he
had crowded much. and spoke of
working under conditions diverse,
! painful and Joyful Upon this
THANKSGIVING Day, the greatest in
our history, he was remembering
only the happy and bright hours
spent during the siege.
In the few minutes together I

regarding the N. c, o. It was a
deep and keen disappointment for
us both not to get across, Lets
not dwell upon this phrase We
agreed 10 hate and shun the hun
for the rest of our natural lives.
