course and it is essential that the
knitted strips be eased in with

trick is in pinning them in place

worth while to dye the rags so

Tennessee GIs Like English.
Probably the purest strain Of
Ango-Saxon blood in America is that
Of the hill people of eastern Ten
nessee. There are ever parts Of the
hill country where a sort Of
Shakespearean English is still
spoken, they say.
Today many Of these Tennesseans
are back here in the land of their
ancestors, ready to fight for the
country they came from as well as
the country they went to. Lately I've
been staying in camp with some
Of them. and with boys just like
them from the CarollnaS.
Few Of them have ever been far
from home before. A few have been
to college, but some Of them can't
read or write. And yet I defy you
to find more real gentlemen among
our troops than in a camp Of these
so-caIled hiIlbillies. There is a
simple genuineness about them that
shows in every word they speak.
They don't have the city's smart
aleck ways and suspicious outlook.
They have had no training in fancy
manners. but they are well-man-
nered. My stay with these boys
made me aware once more that a
companionship with the earth and
the woods breeds something fine in
a character, and that sophistication
is one of the lesser virtues.
These boys r good soldiers.
They are tough physically and
amenable to discipline, and
they learn quickly.

though he didn't know where he

Gray Lady declared. but the plants
are a constant delight to them.
Last Easter I happened to be in
hospital when a beautiful white
azalea plant was delivered. The
nurse started to carry it to q ward,
but stopped at the door of a patieny
in private room. He had been in
jured by bulldozer.
His eyes lighted up for a minute
when the nurse asked him If he
would like to have the plant placed
on his table. I stood watching him
concentrating on the beauty of that
plant. The nurse told me later that
the flower had done as much as the
opiate"
Many donations already have been
received from Washington and near
by florists and growers. The Red
Cross has urged District residents to
remember the hospitalized soldiers,
sailors and marines when they buy
q plant for a friend and buy an
extra one for the servicemen.
All contributions may be taken to
the Western Market, Twentieth and
K streets NV, space for which was
offered by G. B. Tennyson, market
master. The Red Cross Motor Corps,
also cooperating in the project, will
make regular pickups tomorrow and
Saturday and deliver the plants to
the hospitals for the Gray Ladies to
distribute.
