Dear Mr.. Pottinger:
How is everything down on the
border? Getting ready for the
Cinco de Mayo? I would give any,
thing to be there by then but God
only knows where I'll be.
I was really happy the other day
when I received a letter from my
wife and she tells me that Henry,
Jr., weighs 19 lbs. How do you like
that? He's only little over five
months old I am looking forward
to the day when we lick these tough
boys and return home.
want to tell you that have now
been able to get all the back issues
of the NogaleS International. 1t
really helps me out, specially during

new friends every day from all
parts of the United States. But still
a guy gets lonesome for mail. So
if any of my friends wherever they
may be get my address from the
Nogales international, please write
and I'll appreciate it very much.
Give my regards to all my friends
and family.
Sincerely, your Marine pal,

Believed Poor,
Veteran Dies
.Leaves$200,0

OMAHA, Neb.- W.D "A 49,
year-old Spanish War veteran
who died last October was be-
lived by friends to be penniless
and without kin.
Douglas County Court records
now show that the veteran, Tom
Lamb, former county employe,
left an estate totaling about $50
600 which was inherited by a
53-year-old son in England who
never knew his father.
Because of his accepted pow
erty, Lamb was buried for Sl35.
For several years before his
death, the Omaha Shrine carried
his membership without re-
curing payment of dues, al
though Lamb had not asked for
that consideration.
Among his possessions was
found a key to bank safety de-
post box which contained SIS
900 in cash. In the same bank
was a checking account for
S2,605.04. Other prope
brought the value of the estate
to Sl9,223.04.
Letters from a nephew in
Canada written to Lamb were
found which led to the search
for the son in England. Through
British lawyer, Isabella Stan
ley, 80, filed an affidavit stating
that she was present at the we'd
ding of her sister, Agnes Jane
Salmon, and Tom Lamb in
1890. She said they had one son.
Mrs. Stanley said that Lamb
was a draper before he went to
Ameria and became a stock
farmer. He returned to marry
her sister. He sailed for America
again when their son was six
months old and did not sec his
family again. Mrs. Lamb died in
1921.
A brother Of Mrs. Lamb, Alan
Backhouse Salmon, "a, Of Eng
land, confirmed Mrs. Stanley's
affidavit.
Finally, an affidavit was filed
in England by Charles Arnold
Royston Lamb, a posaman, who
stated he was Tom Lambs son.
Charles Lamb produced his par
cnts' marriage certificate and his
own birth certificate.
Tom Lamb never told friends
about his family. After claims
and taxes have been paid, near
ly $1,000 will go to the son he
never knew.

bFiions Waith German
Debaf|e from Cliffs

LONDON, Sept. = R -
While Britain passed another
bombless night thousands OF
men, women and children kept
q vigil atop the White Cliffs OF
Dover, watching at long range
the death throes OF the Nazi
troops trapped on the French
rocket bomb coast.
The story of the struggle was
told in the clouds OF smoke
which hung over the French
shore and the sound Of heavy eX'
blossoms which rolled back
across the Channel as the Ger
mans hastily demolished supply
dumps, gun emplacements and
flying bomb installations from
which they once loosed destruc-
ton upon Britain.
Since last Friday the Ger
mans have sent over only one
brief barrage Of robots.

free to think and do and see
whom we please All my
friends were so overwhelmed
they literally couldn't find
words to express their joy.
But two days in Paris taught
me that underneath the gaiety
and friendliness there's an un-
dertone of sadness. The hun
dreds of thousands of cyclists
who charge down the streets
sometimes eight abreast at COM
muting hours may look pictures
que at first. You soon learn TINS
represents considerable hard
ship. People have either to cy-
Gle or walk to work. There
absolutely no transportation -
no buses, no trolleys, no taxis
The Metro is shut tight. Some
people have to start out in the
early morning hours only to get
to work around noon, often on
empty stomachs. Those VINO
have no work stay at home.
One is also struck by the over
whelming majority of women.
The men of Paris are absent -
many are war casualties out
MANY more are prisoners or de-
ported workers in Germany.
PARIS SUFFERS
I also found out the majority
of Paris restaurants were closed
or open only at midday-due TO
lack of supplies. In most sec
tons of Paris there was no cleo
tricity, no fuel, no gas, no hot
water. This has been going on
for the last six months. Most OF
nv friends have been living on
iron rations and the few Vege-
tables they could find, and their
meagre stocks are now almost
exhausted. But they invariably
add: eve don't care how many
privations we endure now thar
we see the end in sight. To nave
YOU here means more than 1000
