True Love Will Survive:
What local boy who is in the
armed forces is due for quite a
surprise when he breezes into town
soon on his furlOugh after having
been gone for over a year? When
he left he pledged his love to his
girlfriend, a young, dainty dOll-like
girl. The couple had made plans
for a furlOugh wedding as soon as
he arrives in town. Anyway, since
our army boy has been away his
girlfriend has been working in a
defense plant, making plenty of
money and eating up all the money
she has made. She's actually put
on sixty-five pounds (and being
quite short in stature it has taken
a great deal of her beauty away.
Now that our lassie suddenly real
ICES her love will be in town soon,
she's breaking her neck trying to
lose some of the added pOundage,
but to date she's lost none. All of
her friends are wondering if her
fiance will still love her or will his
ideal of her be shattered when he
sees her once again. (Methinks he'll
still love her for true love survives,
come what may.)
Well, friends, that's thirty for
this week, but I'll be SEEM you
again soon.
Your Pal,
