everyday companions. This is the
reason why so many young men be-
come dissatisfied with their surround
ings and long to cast their lot in other
quarters.

en- cross in northern France:
''For your tomorrow,
They gave their today"
Winter approaches and the coal
bill draws ever nearer. But cheer
up! Soon we will no longer need to
