Help From High

The people of The Netherlands have in their flow country" few hills or moun- talns to which to look for help, and must Ret thrill as American airborne troops descend from on high. The Americans must get something of a thrill also to ina parts of The Netherlands not unlike country they know "back home.
 It isn't exactly the same, of course, yet The Netherlands In many respects is not unlike the United States Many people think of the country as Holland, which is equivalent to calling the United States by the name of Texas, or Vermont, or or California. Actually The Netherlands is a confederation of l2 provinces - whose people differ in minor respects just as do the people of the 48 United States - North Holland, South Holland, Groningen, Friesland, Drente, Overilssel' Gclderland Utrecht, North Brabant, Linn burg, Zealand, and Dutch Flanders. The government Is democratic in form, con- stitutional monarchy ruled by queen and Estates General" whose members represent and are elected by popular vote of the citizens of the provinces:

WRITER SAYS A VOTE FOR ROOSEVELT IS A VOTE FOR
 COMMUNIST PARTY

Editor of the Democrat:
 It seems to me that good many people will remember that after the last World War the Communists at. tempted c revolution in the United States in 1919. Also, that they in. cited a strike ct Gary, Indiana; and planned to disrupt the railroad ceils ter of the country by violence iii order to break down our economic life and open the country to reyolu- ton.
 We also know that their party has been trying to elect a Communist to be President of the United states, but without chance of success. Now they are trying q more subtle way Of getting into the White House, and that is by way of the Democratic Party. Regardless of what Presis dent Roosevelt says in his political speeches, we ali know by his previs ous actions, namely, at the last National Democratic ConYentioi1, that he welcomes and expects their votes, in return for the extra.special favor he did for Earl Browder, the ex-convict.
 We all further know that the Communists, through tho Political Action Committee of the CIO, are doing everything in their power to re.elcct President Roosevelt. And 50 l say to you, Mir. and Mrs. Voter, that c vote for T.DR. is c vote for the Communist Party = the party would tear down and destroy our American form Of government.
 Do you want that done? If not, then start working to elect Dewey, c man who will uphold our Afnerl- can form of government il all ttA grandest traditions.

Selected Poem
TRANSPORTATION IN AUTUMN (Harbara Overton in The Christian Science
 Monitor)

Yesterday, the heavens were deep Tn Q blue, late summer sleep; Leaves like painted patterns lay 0reenly outlining the day. Air hung thick with dust and sun Where little brooks had ceased to run And, scentless in the garden-beds, Petunias dropped their velvet heads, Today, in sky clear as bell, A hundred red leaf-clappers tell The tidings of an autumn wind Now over night the air is thinned, And Eain-wet woods are sharply sweet, Released from summers drought and heat; Flowers have come to second birth in this autumn -quickened earth Not only will the skies of May Wake nature to Q brighter day; Spring sun wins no more brave response Than this autumn renaissance.

Veteran Of African War
Finds Camp Davis Easy

CAMP DAVIS, April 4.-After
days and nights of continuous duty
leading conveys to the front lines
in North Africa, of sleeping out
doors under all sorts of conditions
Pvt. Samuel Huskey of the M.
P. Detachment finds that a hike
in the swamps of Camp Davis is
no hardship by comparison.
Indicted at Chattanooga, Tenn,
his home, Pvt. Huskey was sent
overseas after three months MP
training at Fl Custer, Michigan.
During the seven months he was
overseas he was wounded and saw
action on land and sea in various
places in Africa. During an air
raid in North Africa while he was
on duty with convoy he received
a wound in his leg. He was also
hurt in a sea battle while on board
ship going to England, when he
was knocked off a gun platform
to the deck below. Only a few
months ago the 21-year-old soldier
was sent back to Fletcher Gen
eral Hospital in Cambridge, Ohio.
Part of Pvt. Huskey's job in
North Africa was guarding Ger
man prisoners. Three of those he
saw captured were boys around
twelve years of age. ut doesn't
matte: how old a boy is, guess,
said Pvt. Huskey. ut all depends
on his size-if he's big enough to
hold a gun, he's a soldier. Those
kids were good fighters, too, and
hard to- get :"
Pvt. Huskey not only had pris-
oner guard duty during the North
African campaign, but was in COM
bat with infantry and led con-
voys of equipment up to the front
lines. He was in Casablanca dur
ing the time the celebrated meet
ing of President Roosevelt and
Prime Minister Churchill there. He
did not know of the visit until he
was called out on duty to direct
traffic when they passed through.
