Another Youth Group

That wax a splendid and Informative pro-
gram conducted by the Rotary club in honor
IT Youth week, in which Wilrnington's civic
clubs, through their representatives. told what
each is doing for the city's youngsters But
there is one group Of boys doing great work
who received no mention, not through over
sight or intent but because of the limitations
of the program, restricted as it was to the
activities Of civic clubs.
With no similar restriction, we find particu.
lar pleasure in directing attention to their
contribution to the conmunity's welfare and
safety and to the man who has directed and
fostered their effort. This group is the Junior
Traffic Squad. The man is Police Captain
John Davis, now recuperating from injuries
sustained when he was struck down by traf-
fic signal violation. y
For years Captain Davis has trained boys

NAPLES, (by wireless) Again
the time has come for me to travel
long way. When you read this

note: He isl.
Some people laugh and say,
''Well, that's the tip-off. When you
leave for England, the invasion
must be about ready"
That, I assume, is a jibe at me
for having dinner with generals
and supposedly getting all the in
side dope.
They natter me, for don't know
a bit more about the invasion than
you do. I've intended going to Eng
land all along, and the only reason
I held off till now was to wait
for warm weather up there. These
old bones amt what they used
to be- they never were, as far
as I can remember-and spending
a winter in sunny Italy ha!)
hasn't helped them.
At any rate, I do hate to leave
now that the time has come. I've
been in this war theater so long
that l think of myself as a part
of it. I'm not in the Army, but
feel sort of like deserter at Ieav-
ing.
There is some exhilaration here
and soma fun, along with the
misery and the sadness, but on
the whole it has been bitter. Few
Of us can ever conjure up any
truly fond memories of the Italian
campaign.
The enemy has been hard. and
SO have the elements. Men have
had to stay too long in the lines.
A few men have borne a burden
they felt should have been shared
by many more.
There is little solace for those
who have suffered, and none at all
for those who have died, in trying
to rationalize about why things in
the past were as they were.
I look at it this way-if by hav-
ing only small army in Italy
we have been able to build up more
powerful forces in England, and if
by sacrificing a few thousand lives
here this winter we can save hall
a million lives in Europe this sum-

Daily Prayer
FOR THE MEN WHO FLY


In the far reaches of the sky,
our young men who have taken
the wings of the morning, to fly to
the uttermost part of the earth,
do valiant service for Thee and
for Thy truth, o Infinite Lord of
the heavens. We commend them to
Thy fatherly care. They are war
riors of God, seeking the overthrow
of the evil powers that have defied
Thee. For their valor and skill,
and for their chivalrous courage in
combat, we are grateful to Thee,
Q God of battles. AS they soar into
the heavenlies may their hearts be
sustained by simple faith in Thee.
For those who make the supreme
sacrifice, we pray that the Saviour.

When IL comes 10 head let
