ouietness hung around me, broken
only by the means of the wounded
or dying men. AS I sat there I
had a feeling of peacefulness for
the first time since we had landed
on the island. My life long buddy
was lying dead beside me. We had
stuck through that terrible battle
together and now I could do moth
ing for him.
But he was not the only one,
for millions of men lay still all
over that bloody battlefield. 1t
mattered not to their position in
civilian life whether they were
bankers or office boys, for now
they were just one of the mighty
fighting forces Of the United
States.
In all Of that peace and quiet,
suffering and dying, my thoughts
turned homeward to my friends
and relatives. All Of us over here
are putting our faith in you peo-
pie back home to back us one
hundred per cent. So don't let our
faith be in vain. Buy bonds, bonds
and more bonds to send ships,
tanks, and guns over here to
smash the enemy one by one un-
til there is no one left to threaten
our freedom that we value so
much. Bea Holmes "a

Chestnut School Names
Winners On Bond Contest

During the Sixth War Loan
Drive from November Goth to De-
cember 9th, the students of Chest
nut Street school bought $3,162 80
worth of war bonds and put $5l2.15
in war stamps.
/, In connection with the drive, the
eighth grade English classes wrote
themes and poems discussing the
reasons for buying bonds. The
winners were given war stamps
as prizes.
First prize for the poems was
given to Norman George, and Bea
Holmes won the prize for the best
theme; both follow:
THOUGHTS
Think of the boys across the sea
Fighting for you and for me,
Think of the one who gave his all
In answer to our nations call.
How can he fight with all his
might
Unless for him conditions are
right.
Ammunition he needs, and tanks
and guns,
These are the weapons that kill
the Huns.
Why should these lads die for us,
When we do nothing but grippe and
fuss?
We growl for lack of gas and but
ter,
When the boys are fighting from
gutter to gutter.
We want no slogan of 'Too little
too late"
When we are the ones that decide
their fate.
Down with strikes and discord too,
Make him proud of his country
and you.
BUY bonds, work hard, steadfastly
pray,
That victory will come at an early
day.
Buy bonds to show that you are
true,
So that long may it wave, our Red,
White, and Blue.

The situation Ruth Millett
often reaches tn e"feudin' stage
with the sharers of a party line
interrupting each others CONVEX
sations, and delighting in holding
a telephone for As minutes at a
time.
But the trouble all starts be-
cause some persons feel that as
long as they are anonymous
voices, they don't have to nave
manners. So they use party
line as often and for as lengthy
conversations as they would if
they weren't mountaineering any
one else by doing so.
Following three simple rules
would give them party line man.
Eers:
Keep track of the number OF
telephone calls you make in
day, until you are convinced you
are not making an unreasonable
number.
Limit Your Talk
Limit your calls to five minutes,
because there is nothing impor-
tant you can't say in that length
of time.
Bring your own call to a close
as quickly as possible the first
time someone else lifts receiver
to use the line.
We don't always have chances
today for old-fashioned neigh
borliness. But we do have many
chances to be neighborly. And
one of them in these times is to
treat the voices who share our
telephone lines with as much
courtesy and consideration as
though they were next door
neighbors.
