engineers of World wal ii. In the
past the corps of engineers hasn't
received any praise for its work, so
l hope to give them a break. This
is their poem:
The Engineers
Have hairy ear
And hairy harried faces,
Robust and rough
They do their stuff
In all the toughest places.
For they are the babies who take
the raps,
The boos who probe the. BOBBY
traps;
The scouts ahead of the scouting
lines,
Cutting the wire and hunting
mines;
And they are the playboys gay
and bright,
Who crack the pill boxes with
dynamite;
And they are the fellows who
fell the trees
While bullets hum like a hive of
bees.
The Engineers,
They grease the gears
That army transports u on,
And foot by foot
Build roads they put
The trucks and tanks and guns on.
They are buckos and buck away;
With pick and shovel they break
their backs,
Often and under the bomb at
tacks.
They drill for water through
desert dunes,
And over the river they toss
pontoons.
They slap down runways in fields
of mud,
And some of the ooze is the ooze
of blood.
The Engineers
Are cavaliers
Who joust the logs and boulders,
A task that's done
With half a ton
Of junk upon their shoulders,
For they are the boys who lug
the most
o loads that land On hostile
coasts.
And they are the guys when
equipment fails,
Who scratch out a ditch with
their finger nails;
And down in the jungle clearing
snags,
You find them up in the noun
tain
Where the moccasins coil and the
snipers Turk
Engineers doing the dirty work.
I've received all the papers up to
'eb. 9 of this year, so they aren't
DO old when 1 get them. They
ould be a year old and I'd still
them. l thank everyone max
lg it possible for us to receive the
aper.

important branch of the u. S. Army Air Forces with

Of the girls are veterans of hundreds Of hours fly

their commander, are more careful about detail than
the average man. Most of them have taken the regu-
lar air cadet course with the exception of gunnery and
combat tactics. Among the Wasps helping to deliver
training ships into the hands of the Dominion's fedg
ling fiers are girls who come from families wealth
and poor, from all parts of the United States. H
ever they have this in common They are on this
Job because they are crazy about flying, and because

In the meantime I1I be looking
for the Laurel Outlook for more
news from home.

/ am still in England and feeling
fine. So far / have not run across
anyone from home. There is quite
Il bit of space to cover over here,
at that. 1t is said this is a small
world, so l may yet run across
from back home.
AS you know 1 am in the med
ical department, attached to the air
corps. We are doing a swell job
and Pm proud to be a medic. /
am waiting for the day when 1 car
to the farm, though.
Thanks to all who make it pos
sible for us fellows to receive the

to the time when we can see all
the doings instead of reading about
them. .
To the folks at home, best wishes
for good luck in every way.

Feb. 10, by V-mail:
I should have written a long time
before this, but as 1 have been
moving around quite a bit 1 just
kept putting it off.
I have, been receiving the paper
in groups of two, making six copies
one week, but 1 think they will
more regularly from now on.
Italy isn't so bad since the wealth
.r has cleared up a bit. 1t had
,een so rainy for such a long time
hat we could hardly get around
without wading in mud knee deep.
Now it is almost like spring in
Montana. The farmers are busy
the soil, for which their
main source of power is oxen. 1
lad the opportunity to try that my
self; it certainly seemed clumsy,
compared to our methods back there
II Montana.
l wish to extend my thanks to the
laurel Commercial club for the
,arton of cigarettes l received quite
some time ago. 1t makes one know
lie is not forgotten.
There certainly is plenty of ex-
itement around here-just like elk
back home, only it's open
season and no limit on the game.
I haven't much to say, except
Hello to all the home town boys in
he service, especially the ones
,verseas, because 1 know how they
eel. 1 hope we car all be back
Don to thank you personally for
he fine work you've been doing to
,eep US in touch with each other.

size was a motter of amusement to those who knew him and to himself. Perhaps he gave one of the best descriptions of himself in his own words, ".an ugly faced old man, with beetled brows and a big bay window.

The famous Cape Cod" novelist wrote in the vernacular of that strip of land beloved to all Ameri- cans, especially to those of us who are dyed-in-the-wool New Englanders.. USu- ally. at thirteen or whereabouts we began picking up library books by "Joe" Lincoln We enjoyed the homely plots, the bleak ness of the Cape coast in winter, its lure in the summertime. The homeSpun quail .ity of his Interiors and exteriorS, his salty characters, and satisfying plots were something that American readers have . treasured:
 His many novels which began to appear early in the. century were annual events, as far back as "Cap'n Fri" to the present time. He knew his locale and always spoke of himself, even when away from the scerie, as Cape Colder.

Cobb and Lincoln

Irwin s. Cobb had ranked for many years as one of the leading, if not the leading American numorist. He was man of wisdom and wit which were ex- pressed in pat phrases which character. ized his writings.
 His death came Friday, although it was anticipated, to his own amusement. months ago when he had been seriously i'll. This gentleman from Kentucky. had his innings as newspaper writer in his native Kentucky and later in New York where he was "a favored and favorite writer for the press. He will be remem- bered for his Judas Priest" character which entertained Saturday Evening Post readers. One of. his most amusing books was Speaking of Operations" which dealt with that subject of common talk in a highly amusing fashion.
 Cobb had a rare understanding of human nature. He. fitted the scpbriquet, nthe Sage of Paducah, !" very nicely. HIS

THE SEEABEES
(New York Tinles)


 In this newspaper yesterday ap- peared a picture of two battalions of Seabees, the elders of that service, on their transport In San Francisco Bay. They were back from the South Pacific after ar absence of almost two years. It reminded New Workers of the SeabeeS who came back here 8 few days before last Christmas, some of them with boards begun in Algeria or Sicily or at Salerno. Technically the Sea- bees belong to the Naval Construc- tion Battalion. In October, l941, the force numbered ninety-nine. Last Christmas there were 262,000. They have worked and fought all the way from the Aleutians to the South Pacific.
 Their prime motto is "can do" with everything" understood. They build airfields, barracks, bridges, docks, hospitals, oil storage, roads. They load and unload ships. Some where in the Pacific they repaired an aircraft carrier under fire. Now they are cutting mahogany, rose- wood and lockwood in the tungles of Guadalcanal. Now you see pioneer shore party of them at the Marshalls. They build an airf1eld in thirteen days, in four days, in eleven inches of rain. Their second motto, which they live up to, is First to land, last to leave" skilled workers all, boy sof 8, men of 50, they are skilled fighters when fight ing becomes their business. One Seabee killed twelve Japanese. An- other saved landing craft that was on fire. Whether in Navy blue or dungarees, they are lads of met tie.
 Seabees is for c. B.'S, Construc- ton Battalions. Their emblem is bee in a sailors cap, armed with a submachine gun and 8 selection of carpenters tools. Ample praise rom many sources, including the Com mander in Chief, the Seabees have deserved and had. Perhaps their most impressive eulogy is that they have touched the not too tender hearts of the Marines. A Marine on BougainWlle, admiring their work, burst into song and set 1t up as sign:
 So when we reach the isle of Japan,
 With our caps at a jaunty tilt,,
 We will enter the City of Tokyo On roads the Seabees built.

the community of which she was such an outstanding, although self effacing, member.
 With the quietness, reserve and unostentation commonly associated with early New England character, Miss Loomis was the one member of any organization to whom in any emergency the others would turn for advice. No mere "name.lender,' in spite of the many organizations to which she gave freely of her time, Miss Loomis always seemed to have just little more energy, a little more time to be spared.
 The remarkable tranquility and orderliness of her life are symboliz- ed by the fact that on her death she was still living in the Loomis Homestead, built in 1640 by Joseph Loomis, founder of the family, and was still serving as secretary of the Board of Trustees of the Loomis Institute, founded by other mem berS of her family.
 To realize the broad scope of her life, one has but to read the list of religious educational, historical and charitable organizations in which she played an active, helpful role. Her work was done quietly and without fanfare; she sought no honors or public acclaim. Of her it can be truly said, Tt is high virtue to tread in the steps of our ar1- cestors when they have gone before us in the right path"

Views Of The Press

i Page 34. There was also 8 difference in treatment. The Times story was restrained and factual. The Herald Tribune story overflowed with exu- berance. The probability is that the truth lies in between these two &C., counts.
 There has been a Republican. trend since the general elections of 1942. Tn 10 special elections since then, the Republicans have won eight times, and one of the losses was by a narrow margin in strong Tammany district in New York. So the trend Is evident.
 But more significant than the trend are the causes, and here is point which the Republicans are likely to stumble over their own feet if they aren't careful, The Re- publicanS haven't won just because they were Republicans. Governor Baldwin gave the best list of rea- sons in his address in Boston on February l2. Some victories in the last two years have been won on the basis of local issues, and others on 8 constructive approach to na- tional issues. Also, the party has put up good candidates for office.
 If the Republican party wants to make sure of victory in November 1944, 1t will pattern its national campaign along the lines of the best state and congressional campaigns during the last two years. Put up good men and talk about live is- sues. Also retire MT. Spangler from the post of cheer leader to that of water boy.

AS A MATTER OF FACT

Some people got to Florida with diff culty. But they got there. By that same token they came. home from Florida with difficulty, but they came home. There are some that have not yet negotiated the trip. home, but as they say - that's their problem. Those who were most criti- cized for stepping south were the ones who went to play, to see the gulf and the ocean, and to visit the race tracks. Those who had legitimate, or we might say req. sonable reasons for going, all we'll and good, but as for play purposes - just, not crickets you know.
