his conception of the issues that
are facing us in this very serious
situation
II have found that people
everywhere are eager to hear a
fortnight discussion of the
critical war and postwar prob
lens, Brieker continued.
"It is my feeling that never
i'm our history have the political
parties needed the full conf
dence of the people so much a.
now, and the best way TO assure
that confidence II to make GER
tain they are fully informed.
II propose to continue my
best efforts to let the public
know my position In all respects.

Visitors alighted from Army
buses in front of buildings illumi-
mated by searchlight beams to join
throngs of soldiers going to the
March of Dimes" dances. For
three hours, to the tunes played
by musicians from Camp Davis
bands, the merry crowds danced
joyously that others may walk.

much one-sided conversation.
And it should be the same klno
of conversation you used to have
with your boy A mixture OF such
ak as politics, your job, his
friends and what they're up to-
he joke you played on his moth
n. what she is doing what othe1

KEEP ON WRITING
And without being in the least
sentimental or stirring up home
sickness in soldier you can lei
him know that though his family
misses him, they're all pretty
proud of him and under the cir
curnstances wouldn't have him
doing anything except what ne is
doing.
The boys, of course can't tell
you much about his life. For that
reason, his letters may be brief
and often disappointing. But the
folks back home can bridge the
gap made by his unrevealng let
tiers by packing their own full OF
the little everyday happinings.
But to make those daily letters
welcome, instead of accusing.
never reproach the boy for not
writing more often. Just be glad
for whatever letters you get -
and keep on writing, if you don't
want your son to become a strang-
er to you.
