Dear Friend,
We are writing this letter to
express our appreciation for
what you are doing for us and
our country; and to tell you that
although our group is small IN
number and SOME OF us small,
too. we are dong our best to
hep furnish you with the things
you need to carry us all to VIC
Tory.
We know that one of the
best ways to really help is to buy
war Savings Stamps q Bonds;
therefore, we all have a stamp
DOCK that We are filing. We also
nave coIIected scrap paper, iron,
and ruboor, and are trying to do
our best or the farms, raising
victory gardens, ETC.. What we
are ap4e TO 90 seems small when
compared to your services, but
perhaps our small bit will help
W MAKE your work easier.
I'VE would really enjoy hear
ing from you, and remember
that we stand ready to do what
ever we are able to do when
called upon.
sincerely yours,
st. x Farmer Union Juniors

Dear Friends,
Your letter dated March 4th
was received and I was very
happy to hear from all of you.
Your letter was passed a
round to the boys in my squad
ron and we all think you are
doing a wonderful job in our ef-
fort to win this war and bring
peace to the world. All that you
| Junior Farmers are doing will
make our work much eaS.er.
May you seek always and
strive always in this world where
men grow so tired. May the
flame that tempers the bright
steel of your youth never die,
but burn always, so that when
, your work is done, and your long
day ended, you may still be like
a watchman's fire at the end of
a lonely road loved and cher
ished for your gracious glow by
all good Wayfarers who need
light in their darkness and
warmth for their comfort.
You must all keep your love
of life, but throw away your fear
Of death. Life must be loved or
it is lost, but it should never be
loved too well.
We must keep our delight in
friendship, and only learn to
know our friends and select
what our instinct tells us is
right. Keep your wonder at
great and noble things like sun
light, and thunder, the rain, the
| growth of trees and the return
of harvest, and the greatness of
heroS.
we know that some of us
must die: and you all must
stand upon the rubbish heap of
our errors. Forgive us for this.
We are ashamed to leave you an
untidy, uncomfortable world,
But so it must be. We are only
sorry that we have one life to
offar for orr country that wa
