Fighting for the defense of our

an honor and a duty which your
daddy has to do before he can come
home to settle down with you and

Don't ever be duitter, either in
sports or in your business or pro-
fession when you grow up. Get all
the education you can. Stay close to
mother and follow her advice. Obey
her In everything, no matter how
much you may at times disagree.
