ISN'T 1T AWFUL?

Pvt. Manos Senter, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Mont Senter Of Blow
ing Rock, because of the censor
ship, found that he hadn't much
to write about from North Ar
RIGA. so he writes about what he
cannot write of, and put it in
poetry.
My dear, I'm censored.
Can't write thing,
Just say I'm well
And sign my name.
Can't tell when it's sunny,
Can't tell when it rains,
All military secrets
Must secret remain.
Don't know where I'm going.
Don't know where I'll land,
Couldn't inform you it
I met a band.
Can't tell where we sailed from
Can't even mention the date,
And can't even remember
The meals I've ate.
Can't keep diary
For such is a sin,
Can't keep the envelopes
Your letters came. in.
Can't find a flashlight,
To guide me at night,
Ccn't smoke a cigarette
Except. out of sight.
Don't know for sure
AS to what / can do
Except sign the envelope
And mail it to you.

THE SENATE NOMINATION
The Big Stone Gap Post


The Wise-Dickenson senatorial
district has been very fortunate
in the high calibre of men W
have been sent to Richmond IN
the past to represent it. Among
the recent Seators were John w.
Charley, Roland Chase and Rob-
ert Parker; all extremely capable
men who made enviable records
in Richmond in unselfish service
to the district and the state. They
all were men who considered the
interest of the state above their
own personal. ambitions serving
humbly, tirelessly and effectively.
When Robert Parker died in
Richmond serving in the Senate,
Governor Darden and state lead
ers testified to his unselfish SER
vice to Virginia.
With such record, anyone
new elected to the State Senate
must be able to hold a high place
in the minds of other represen-
tatives in order to maintain the
record made by past Senators.
Wise county is fortunate to have
such a man who can fill the va
cancy caused by the death of Mr..
Parker. He is NJ M. Long of st
Paul, lawyer, banker, farmer and
churchman. Mr.. Longs record in
his two terms as member of the
House of Delegates is the high
est He has proven to the people
vi IllC tWO COUllC1CS, Ills 1O1ICy CD
a statesman and leader. He is
unselfish, without personal am
billions to warp his viewpoint and
his leadership has been tested.
He will make Wise and Dicken-
son an able, fearless and unbias-
ed representative in the Senate.
He will maintain and uphold the
splendid records of men who
have served in this office in the
past.
This newspaper recommends
him, not only to the Democrats
but to the voters of the two
counties; and especially to the
Richmond District.

Little sacrifices on the home
front mean much to victory.
But the Greater Cleveland
Safety Council points out that
little accident risks can be a
real threat to early victory.
Let's have fewer accidents here
at home, so there will be fewer
wounds and lost lives on our
fighting fronts. This means, as
our great fight approaches its
climax, that workers must be
extra careful and alert, on-the-
job and off-the-job-to save
manpower for warpower.

Dreaming of the day we'll meet once
more,
Dreaming of the one that I adore.
Can hardly wait for the boat to arrive,
To make me the happiest man alive.
Once again we would sail the ocean
blue,
Heading for home and our girls too.
Counting the days before the ship
docks,
And counting the hours around the
clocks.
You are the one would love to see,
Waiting at the dock, just for me.
Altho you're miles and miles away,
In my memory you will always stay
My darling, your face before me
appears,
I'll soon be with you, so dry your
tears,
Until that day, I'll be so blue,
But can't you see have a job to do

Traffic Accidents

It has long been recognized
that the, most frequent victim
of traffic accidents, especially
as pedestrians, are the men and
women of older years. Seventy
five of the 127 fatalities last
year involved people over 45
and most were in the age
bracket between 55 and Ga.
In many cases the action of
the victim was an important
cause but a significant fact is
revealed in the monthly trend
of accidents in the six months
Of this year. The percentage of
older people involved in acci-
dents shows a reduction of one
half from January to June.
This trend shows the great
responsibility resting with the
driver for accident free driving
despite all of the difficulties.
Accidents decreased as the
hours Of daylight increased
proving the Importance of visi-
bility to the driver and the per-
son on foot. The accidents hap
pened mainly because the mo-
torist did not see the man or
woman in the path of his car.
Perhaps his attention was not
entirely devoted to driving, the
speed may have been too fast
for conditions or a seemingly
trivial defect like a worn wind
shield wiper or an improperly
focused headlight may have
caused the loss of a life.
Let's remember at all times
that any error in judgment or
any defect in your car may
cause you to kill or injure an
other.

Send in All Old Records

The American Legion and it's
auxiliary launched their Sec
ond nationwide collection cam
paign for old photograph rec
ords July 3, which will con-
clude on July 80. Soldiers from
the various fighting ranks and
fronts now in hospitals recov-
ering from battle wounds re-
ceived in this global war, are
doing their bit to make this
drive successful. Letters are
being received at national head
quarters every day from these
men telling graphic stories of
the general want and need of
music and records by the men
in far off stations. These let
ters surely portray the need
of this drive. The appeal can
not be disregarded. The people
on the home front will un-
doubtedly want to help this
beneficial cause along with
good spirits. Many of you have
broken or worn out dust col
lecting records in the attic or
basement, or perhaps some that
you have not heard in years,
and probably may never play
them again. Now the next time
when you go to the movies to
relax take these space wasting
discs to your neighborhood
show and dispose of them
there. $50 of these movie houses
will be glad to receive them
The first old records drive
conducted by the American Le-
gion during August and Sep
tember, 1912 netted approx
mately 100000 old discs, the
income from this scrap making
possible the purchase of 370,-
900 new records for distribu-
ton. Requests from the armed
services for new records how.
ever totaled 3,823,797, or more
than ten times the number
available.

When it comes to color, Joseph's
coat had nothing on the multi-col-
ored patchwork designs created by
the case-making clothes moth when
it spins the portable case in which
it spends practically all it's larvae
life.
! "Prolonged study of the ilaDits of
this case-making clothes moth re-
veals it to be first class dress
maker, being able to enlarge it's
case by the insertion of little cores
as it becomes plump on our bright
sweaters or fine furs.
"Without leaving its case the
larva makes a slit halfway down
one side and inserts a triangular
gore of new material, possibly from
little Johnny's red sweater. A SINH
lar insertion is made on the oppos-
ite side. If the larva is restless and
moves from Johnny's red sweater
to your yellow one, this gore will
be different color. Still without
leaving its case, the larva reverses
itself and makes corresponding
Sits and additions in the other half.

Then came gymnastic exercises

The third hour was devoted to
the study of German by means

the ceremony of raising the

On the way to and from

The work in school is sup
