Starting Anew Each Day
I am starting my life anew today
For today is another day
The failures and fears of yesterday
Have been left along the way.
My heart is filled with joy and
peace
For God has made me free
Of all the old and evil thoughts
That bound and troubled me.
I know His love has strengthened
me
And helps me on my way
Thru Him I'm cleansed, my mind
renewed
For this the dawn of another day.

Flag Of Italy
Now Flies At
Florence Camp

AS a mark of appreciation of
the willingness of italian war pris-
oners to serve the allied cause with
which the Italian government has
joined as a co-beliggerent, the ma
tional emblem of Italy today flies
beneath that of tie United States
at Florence Prisoner of War camp.
Run up on a separate halyard
soldiers of Italy hoisted their own
flag after a touching and momen-
tous ceremony ending as one of
their number kissed the folds of
the emblem of his country and
stepped back to join with his COM
rades in salute as the strains of
Italian national anthem trumpeted
across the desert.
1t is believed by army officers
this Is the first time In all history
when the flag of a once enemy
country has been flown at a mill
tary establishment Of conquering
nation during the same war.
The courtesy to the Italian SOL
diers stems from the present sta
tus of Italy as co-beliggerent and
semi-ally as well as a recent war
decision to utilize Ital-
ian prisoners OF war in quasi-labor
batallions in army camps through
out the United States.

than $10O this year. Or
3-Your income isn't subject to
Withholding taxes.
1t isn't likely that the procedure
will be as tough as making out
your income tax form. You mere
