DREAMING OF YOU

To Juanita
Your charms, sweet memories
scared on
The tender flesh OF my pulsing
heart
And your love, inspiring me to
live on,
Even though we are too far
apart,
Make me yours forever.
2.
Your eyes, probing the love I hold
within
Finding it steady. and passionate
with desire
And your lips, clarifying the bond
OF human kin,
The angelic rebirth OF two hearts
Sweetly afire
Makes me yours forever

To Ambassador Kennedy is at
tributed one statement which, in
this observers judgment, would
seem to call for verification or dis
avowal in London. Our spokesman
at the Court of st. James is reported
to have said that Great Britain's
policy OF appeasement is 50 deep
rooted that she would permit Hitler
to build a German air base in
Canada rather than revert to war;"
If any such notion is actually cher
ished in Downing Street, Kennedy's

date she was sold to Capt. E. S.
Randall, and she ran for years be-
tween Washington and River View,
until she was succeeded by the Sam

the river. Later the vessel was
sold to Robert Hoffman, who con-
verted it into clubhouse and an
chored it at Analostan Island, near
