Mr.. and Mrs. ]. w. T. Eyler, re-

their son, Charles:
Fort Charney, France,
December IL, 1918.
Dear Mother and All at Home:
Will write you a few lines to let
you know that I'm alive and we'll
and hope this finds you all the same.
We are still at Fort Charney and
don't know how much longer we will
stay here. 1t sure has been raining
hard for sometime again and we
have a sea of mud. | don't think
there is another place on earth that
can equal France for mud. Well L
hdDe we will not have to stay here so
much longer 1t il only a little over
five months since we left the good
old u. S. A. and L hope it will not be
five months more before we get back.
We have done what we came over
here to do so now I'm ready to come
back any old time.
II received my birthday cards yes
terday. Many thanks for same
Well two more weeks and Christmas
will be over. Had thought at one
time we would be home for Christ
mas, but now I guess we will be
lucky to get back by Easter. Still
there is no telling what may turn up
MY outfit is now in the second army
We were i'm the first awhile, then the
third and now the second. Don't
know how long we will stay in the
second. Well, l guess it doesn't
make much difference about that as
long as we get plenty to eat and
wear. Sure are getting that. Just
had pay day and no place to spend
our Jacks. Guess President Wilson
will land in France this week and
then we will soon know what we are
going to do He l. to land at the
same place we did when we came
over, Brest. Guess that is one o.
the largest seaports in France.
Why should | worry as long as
have plenty of clothes and a good
appetite, | can make out somehow.
l am little lonesome now but guess
that won't make any difference.
II will stop for this time. We are
now the 10th Division Police Com
pany, instead of the 3O4th. Will
say goodnight. Best wishes to one
and all. | remain as ever,

IN MEMORIAM.

In memory of my dear husband, Paul w. Strevig
who departed this life on October q. 1918.
My dear husband so near and dear,
Life is sad without you here;
4 think some times il cannot be
Thy loving faceI no more can see.
When the angels brought the message
That my dear Paul must go,
None but those who have lost a husband
Could my grief and sorrow known.
Had been with you at the last - r..
And held your dying hand;
And heard the last sigh from your heart,
/ would not feel so bad.
Gone from this world of grief and trouble
To the land of peace and rest;
He has landed in the arms of Jesus
There to find everlasting rest.
BY his loving wife, Emma Strevig.
Dear papa has gone forever.
Like the happy childhood days; s. q.
And his loving voice shall never
In our home be heard again. .# '.# M
Tears from our eyes are streaming, n.
And sorrow shades our brow,
Blame US not for weeping
For we have no papa now.
By his loving daughters, Vesta, Beaulah and
Evelyn Streyig

Tie report of Mrs. d. T.. ohipley
chairman of the Child Welfare Com
mILuuu, showed that excellent work
is Icing accomplished i'm that branch
OF LnG organization. The report Oh
the enrolment committee showed
that eleVen new members had been
enrolled making a total membership
OF IJV.
Two musical numbers, the one a
piano solo by Miss Caroline FOutz
and the other a violin solo by Mr.
Philip Roger accompanied by Miss
Gertrude Roger added greatly to the
evening entertainment
One of the principal events Of the
evening was a round table discus
sion Oh the subject, THE relation OF
the home to the school, led by Mrs
Belt. The manifest desire of the
parents to take part i'm the discus
sion and to ask questions concerning
matters relating to welfare of the
school was highly encouraging and
If this same interest continues there
can be no doubt that great deal OF
good will be accomplished by these
informal discussions.
the Association upon the subject OF
the condition and needs oil the
schools of Westminster. Some OF
the comparisons which Mr.. Davis
made with the schools of Westmins-
ter and those of places of less
wealth and Importance were not
very favorable to Westminster, and
should be the means of arousing the
people OF this community to demand
suitable school facilities for their
children Mr.. Il. c. Ebaugh supple
mented these remarke by pointing
out specially the necessity for larg-
er and better playground facilities.
Mr.. J. Pearre Wantz, president OF
the Board of Education for Carroll
County in a short talk endorsed all
that had been said upon the subject
of increased school facilities and
suggested that a committee be ap-
pointed to appear before the Board,
and that this committee be requested
to ask for sufficient equipment to
make the schools of Westminster in
efficiency to those in any section of
the county.
This meeting was by far the most
successful and interesting since the
organization of the Association, and
it is hoped the next meeting in Feb
ruary will attract a larger number OF
parents and others interested i'm the
success of the public schools. The
attendance banner was accorded to
the 9th grade taught by Miss Alma
Mccartney, and will be retained by
that grade until the next meeting.

these songs are J. w. Martin, Dot
Kastor, Stanley Dreyfus, Arthur

has been started on this feature
and the Elks have discovered quite
good many in their midst who

Tickets for the minstrel will
soon be in the hands of members
of the lodge and demands for tick
cts are already being reported.
The show will rank with similar
shows given by larger cities.
