You can't buy LOYALTY, they say.
| bought it, though, this very
day!
You can't buy friendship, firm
and true.
| bought sineerest friendship, tool
And truth and kindness I got,
And happiness. oh, such alotl
So many joyous hours-to-be
Were sold with this commodity
| bought a life or simple faith.
And love that will be mine till
death,
And two brown eyes that I could
see
Would not be long in knowing
me.
| bought protection. I've a guard
Right now and ever afterward.
Buy human friendship? Maybe
notl
You see, it was a dog I bought.

In CAMP

So many people are confronted
with the same thing, what gift.
can l send the man in service
The field can be cut down easily
! by simple deduction. 1t must be
easy to transport That is the
whole thing in the nut shell. The
slogan is IF it is too large and
cumbersome, you can't take II
with you.
Gifts are things that all of us
like to receive. One never gets
too old to receive them. Regard
less of whether a fellow is a
grease monkey, sand hog. chem.
list, school teacher or a Major in
the armed forces, gifts are always
welcome. Presents should always
carry out a heartfelt sincerity in
order to maintain a lasting senti-
ment.
A gift small in size can carry
so much meaning. Good things
come in small packages" This
means a lot more than we often
think. For instance, what service
man wouldn't cherish birthstone
ring? A ring from little sister,
who is just beginning to enter
grade school, would mean a lot to
her big brother; even though it
came from a five and ten cents
store. He would cherish it dearly
Gifts need not be expensive as
long as they are serviceable.
Since you didn't get that watch
for his graduation from high
school or college, it is not too late
yet. Time pieces are always need
ed, since the modern army is run
on strict schedule. Some prefer
wrist watches to pocket watches,
but any kind you send him, he
will appreciate it. Tokens of kind
ness can do more than anything
else to increase the morale of a
soldier.
The damp ground doesn't seem
so moist, the steep mountains be-
come more scalable, the heavy
pack becomes less burdensome if
he is made happier. You can do
this by sending your gifts of sin
cere gratitude.
From one of the many camps
comes this story: When he was
asked why he was so eager to go
on a road march this particular
time, the soldier simply replied,
Il have just received two pairs
, of socks from my little brother
This is typical of what is hap
pening to our boys on all fronts,
happiness maintained through
gifts from home. 1t makes no diff
ference what is as long as it
comes from you.
Remember when we were child
rem, how eager we were to meet
Nom and Dad when they return
ed from shopping in town? They
always brought a bag of sweet
candies. Even though there were
three for you and the sweets cost
perhaps only twenty-five cents. 1t
was dandy. No matter how we
tried the candy we buy for oursel-
yes now we are grown, doesn't
have that sweet mellow taste as
the ones Nom and Pop used to
give us, does it? 80.

against Japan and overwhelming
odds draw lyrical praise from
Willkie who argues that we have
yet to fulfill our obligations to
this great ally. These. he says,
include economic cooperation
and present military help" But,
he warns, "they also include the
obligation to understand the Chin
ese and their problems. Chinese
faith in noble phrases and pro-
testations is wearing little
thin"

Dear Rev. Peniek:

Dear Rev. Penick:
We have just closed the Sew
enth Anniversary services of our
ministry here in Portland, and
completed arrangements for our
annual conference. This is the
reason for my delay in confirming
our telephone conversation, re-
garding the Robert Folkes' case.
Let me state, in the first place,
that Mr.. James II. Anderson. Gen
eral Chairman of Dining Car EN-
ployees Local $50 with offices in
Los Angeles, has asked me TO
head campaign in this section to
raise money with which to I'm
ance the appeal of the cast to the
Supreme Court of Oregon. Oui
branch has set up a committee for
this purpose with me as Chairman
AS You may already know the ap-
peal of the case has already been
filed
beg to state next, that the
merits of the case cannot be judg-
ed by newspaper articles 1t seems
that the newspapers. together
with the Oregon State Police, are
determined to close this case by
killing Folkes. You probably saw
statements, supposedly, made by
Folkes after his conviction. Our
attorney has checked with the
deputy warden at Salem to whose
custody Folkes was committed af-
ter sentencing. According to At
torney Lomax, the deputy warden
declares that the boy did not
make those statements.
Here are some facts that you
should know. Folkes was convict
ed on an oral statement, or sup
posed confession. A stenograph-
er's transcript of this oral state
ment was given to the jury to
read in the jury room which, ac-
cording to Attorney Lomax, was
irregular to say the least. This
oral statement was obtained from
Folkes after seventeen hours of
grilling and feeding hib liquor by
the Los Angeles police. Two Of
these policemen testified under
oath that they gave him liquor.
Two witnesses testified that they
saw him before he gave the state
ment, and that he was drunk and
looked as if he had been beaten
about the face. His face was swol-
len. In Albany the Oregon State
Police presented a statement that
Folkes was supposed to have
made to them that was so fantas-
tic and ridiculous that one would
think a court of law would not
take it seriously for a moment.
But this was admitted into evil
denee. The rest of the testimony
was the flimiest sort of circum-
stantial evidence, and most con-
/ Trajectory.
The Prosecutor, in his state
ment to the jury, said that the
State of Oregon has statutory
law which prohibits conviction on
a confession, even when it is sign
ed. This was corroborated by his
assistant and by the defense at
torney. Our legislature in passing
this law took into account the
means used in obtaining confes-
sions "the third degree"
Folkes supposed confession was
not signed.
Here are other facts: If finger
prints were taken at the scene OF
j the Crime. they were not produc-
ed at the trial; the flnernai'
scrapings of Folkes and the mar
inc Wilson were not brought into
