greeted Mr. Policy and thoroughly en-
loved hearing him relate some of the

only when we listen to those VINO
have been at the front and seen WITH
their own eyes. Mr.. Pelley's trip
took him into places which were not
very pleasant and which most OF Us
would shrink from going. The mem

them in giving this talk, and they
hone to be able to listen to him again
in the near future.
