Send the following letter to his
Mother from Italy.

March 10, 1914, 8 p. m.
Here | am again two days late,
but just you wait until | tell you
what happened in the last few
days. Boy it sure was a wonder
ful surprise - and its going to be
a very nice pleasant surprise for
you and the whole family. If |
keep on talking I'll be giving my
self away
1t all goes back to Tuesday al
ternoon (l2:l5) while | was eat.
ing a nice Beef Roast and all the
trimmings. 1t really was a good
dinner. When | was about half
through eating message arrived
that there was someone to see me
in the Command Post. Now who
in the devil would care to see
me. | excused myself, went thru
the doorway, head and eyes to the
front. All of a sudden l heard a
very familiar voice. One that
had not heard for 20 months. I
turned to the left, we botr called
each others name at once. Before
you knew it We" were in each
others arms pounding and squeez-
ing. hugging, crying, saying each
others names over and over again.
Nom just think seeing your bro
ther Rudy after 20 long months.
Nom, he's in great health, weighs
about 200 lbs, has not changed
much - the same Rudy just a lit
tie older. Gosh it was great to
see him.
He went with me to the train
ing areas. In the evening we sat
on my cot and talked about every
thing under the sun - most of ii
was about home. He stayed with
me for two days - oh nom and
pop there's nothing like seeing
ones brother after such a long
time. Don't worry about Rudy he
is taking good care of himself.
That's all nom for now, wasn't
that nice surprise. George.

GIVING
BY Virginia Curtis Smith

oy virginia curtis Smith
We look with envy upon riches
Say what we would do -
How we would scatter blessings
To all suffering ones we knew.
If it were ours, we would use freely.
with an open generous land,
We would do away with trouble.
Let sunshine rule the land.
There would be no such thing as sorrow
All should be happy, light and free;
We would revolutionize the world
If we only had our way.
Thus we prate, in sensless chatter,
The days pass one by one,
And the good we might be doing
Is lost sight of--left undone
Cast your bread upon the waters,
Scatter freely, while you may;
Be generous in your kindest tbouohts
BE careful what you say.
Be so joyful in the giving
1t will gladen every heart;
We will then possess treasures
Gold will be the smallest part.

old procedures and traditional
limitations.
TAX simplification seems to be
1 well on its way. The current
proposal would:
1. Eliminate the gross income
base for victory tax and supply all
rates to net income.
2. Provide simple rate struc-
,ture with no separate victory tax
computation. and set up a combi-
nation normal tax and surtax.
3. Do away with necessity for
detailed returns on the part of ap-
proximately 30 million taxpayers,
provide a short form of return for
10 million more, and simplify the
long form for the remaining 10
million taxpayers.
4. Revise withholding schedules
upward slightly to bring the
amount withheld closer to the tax
liability in most instances.

Marvin Jones, War Food Admin
strator:
while supplies of some foods
will be less than would be needed
with unrestricted demand, other
foods will be available in ample
supply so that every one can have
enough good and nutritious food
to satisfy his needs. Foods avail
able in the United States for ex-
port constitute only a small pro-
portion of the food requirements
of the United Nations and of liber-
ated areas. This is true even of
important kinds that we normal
ly produce in excess OF our own
supplies. In considering the re-
sponsibility of the United States
in helping to meet food require
ments of the United Nations, it
should be kept in mind that the
United States is not the food bas-
ket of the world"
