AS we read the newspapers and
magazines we hear that students in
various schools are spending many
dimes each week buying Defense
Stamps and Bonds. Even though
there are many who are buying
stamps and bonds, there are also
many who cannot afford to buy
them because they are not able.
Perhaps these students have often
wondered what they could do.
Well, I would like to have you
know that another need is just as
vital. Our men in the service must
feel that they cannot pass beyond
our love and care.
wish that l could make clear
to you the terrible worries of some
of our boys who haven't heard from
their folk. A letter, a picture post
card from a pal has value that
cannot be assessed. Therefore, il
you cannot buy Stamps, why not
send a letter or post card to class
mate, or school mate that you know
IS in the service. For while he is in
the service he needs civilian con-
tact. He may not reply, he may be
tired, but you can write him.
Again, our service men need your
faith and your prayer. You can give
this without money. So let those of
us who cannot buy stamps get busy
and write letters or send picture
post cards and above all, let us give
our faith and our prayers.
