In the passing of Editor Charles
Jameson, for 25 years connected with
the White River Junction Landmark,
the state loses a loyal son and the
newspaper fraternity one of it's Oldest
members. The faithful, earnest work
of a country newspaper editor causes
little comment until he let's go OF
life's activities and we miss the week
ly reminder of his loyal service. Edi-
tor Jameson made the Landmark
first and foremost in advancing the
welfare and progress of his home
town and state and leaves a record of
service attained by few.

The shells fell around our hut as near as the width of 9 city street The boys would come in with their gas masks on.
 For a couple of weeks we were the only people in Verdun-men or wo- men-who slept above ground We were living in a cunning little house that stood up alone among wide spread ruins There were no win doSvs left, of course, and hardly a wall remaining The cathedral, the Bishops palace, the town bail,-ev- erything was razed but this one little house. How it escaped after four years of bombardEnent was an un- solvabIe mystery.
 Somehow we could not make up our minds to leave the little houses there seemed to be a holy spell sur rounding it,-and go down In the cit adeI' which was 60 feet under ground and which smelled something like the subway, although 1t was as well ven tuated as possible. We preferred talk ing a chance and having the fresh air.

 Ver1un if we didn't change to safer quarters- When the boys heard of that they raised walls of protest and appeal And we had to succunnb.

The others laughed, and one of them remarked: Its come tea pretty pass when an American girl has noth- 1 ing o mug but a wall" Since the boats bringing in the he roes of the YD have stirred the blood of old Boston, Mrs Fleming has vol unteered for duty at Commonwealth l Pier behind inc ''Y" counter where she feels so much to home. Her en- | agreements at the Pier were a con tinuols and enthusiastic series Of re- unions with her old pals. During the week of the parade Mrs. Fleming lived at Camp DeVsns, mdngling with the boys and continuing her devoted ser l vice.
