something of more Importance
than club to keep them occupied
| think of those days lot. We
had fun playing basketball. Do
you remember how the folks wor-
ried when several of us did not
get back until dawn near Mon
day morning?
To-day was the first time in
long time that I've played basket
ball. We are trying to scrape up
team in our Co. We haven't
practiced together vet but still we
won today.
We have been informed that
censorship regulations have been
eased up bit. We are now per-
mitted to describe our living con-
ditions and diridge that secret
fact that we are tressled with the
DapS. We can write of the rota-
ton slightly. We can tell where
we have been but we cannot men,

What do you want to hear first:
| will tell you of our living con-
ditions. When a person refers to
his residence here as hole he ac-
tually means h OIL e. We live in a
hole. Don t cry sis, it's not that
bad. In fact it's pretty darn good
hole. A deluxe model with wooden
walks (made from ration boxes) ,
a good heavy roof made of logs
tipped with heavy layer of
sandbags. The roof is slightly
over foot above the ground
which allows for an all around
opening. The ceiling is papered
with cardboard. We have shelves
to keep our cloth on etc. Just re-
Gently, the three of us, finished
screening the place. | built the
screen door which swings on real
hinges which came from an AMI
munition box. We have two chairs
and a table, one extra blanket is
our table cloth.
We used to sleep in the holes
but we moved out. We sleep on
the roof. We call it upstairs. We
worked all a. m. today raising the
upstairs roof which consists of a
wooden frame over which our
shelter halls are stretched. Gays,
Andy and | will have our cots up
stairs and we will use the hole for
a living room. All we need now
is little white fence.
This home is just like owning a
real house There is always work
to be done. Every morning it has
to be put in order. We thought
that we had it complete long
time ago, but we've changed it a
dozen times since then.
Canteen supplies came and Gays

THEY SAID LAST
WEEK:
President F. D. Roosevelt in his
message to Congress on
refugees:

refugees:
Congress has repeatedly mani
tested its deep concern with the
pitiful plight of the prosecuted
minorities in Europe whose lives
are each day being offered in sa-
crifce on the altar of Nazi tyranny
This nation is appalled, by the
systematic persecution OF helpless
minority groups by the Nazis. To
us the unprovoked murder of in
nocent people simple because of
race, religion or political creed IS
the blackest of all possible crimes
Since the Nazis began this cam
paign MANY OF our citizens in ali
walks of life and Of all political
and religious persuasions have eS-
pressed our feeling of repulsion
and our anger. 1t is a matter with
respect to which there is and can
be no division of opinion amongst
us"
SiebenbuÌˆrgisch-Amerikanisches Volksblatt. [volume] (Cleveland, Ohio) 1917-1971, 1944-06-29
Most Rev. Edward Mooney, Arch
bishof of Detroit:

"We should not fail to note the
fact that the Nazi perpetrators OF
the colossal crime of the Warsaw
ghetto are professedly and rabidly
anti-christian as well as anti-Jew-
ish. In Germany itself, throughout
occupied Europe and particularly
in Poland they have prosecuted
Christians with ferocity that is
exceeded only by their unparallel-
ed cruelty to the Jews.
May we not hope that in the
fires of a common tribulation new
bonds of human solidarity and
mutual goodwill are being forged
between Christian and Jew: In
the heroism of Christians who
have SO often risked and not infre-
queit,y given their lives to rescue
their more unfortunate Jewish
brothers. may we not find an au-
gury that when the agony is over
Jews and Christians will work to-
gether to write brighter page
of history in liberated Europe:

 "'Union Made does not neces- sarily mean that product is manu- facthred by workers who have an A. F. of l.. Union Label contract. It is merely device to deceive the Union Label-cOnscious market.
