FROM A SOLDIER

If you're in the At class
And you want to make pass
At the Nazis and JapS too
Buy war bond and be true.
If you working on defense
And want to show good sense
Fill little extra job too
Something special you can do.
There's a call for volunteers
To give a little more than cheer
For the numerous boys who
Are now fighting for you.
So when you get your pay
Just step right up and say
I'm here to buy a bond true
For the Red, White and Blue.
OBSERVER.

Catholic Information We All Have Pull in
 Heaven

I knew the governor, so I wrote him direct for legitimate personal favor.
 I knew the governors mother. I knew he loved her. I knew she therefore had honorable influence with him. So I wrote her to plead my cause with her son.
 I knew, too, an old family servant whom the governor had pensioned for life for services worthily rem dered. So wrote him to say a word in my behalf.
 Now the governor alone could grant my request and perhaps my plea to him would have been all- sufficient. But it couldn't hurt to use all legitimate pull" in his man. sion. It seemed wise. I did it.
 God alone can provide for the needs of His creatures, so every Catholic prayS to Him first, in ador- ation. and supplication. But in our Fathers house there is Mary whom He honored above all His creatures by inviting her to become the mother of His Divine Son, and at whose request Christ performed Ills first earthly miracle in Cana of Galilee. In our Fathers house there are the saints-servants Of God who are pensioned for eternity for services worthily rendered. Mary, His Mother and ours! The saints, His brothers and sisters, and ours.
 Pull in Heaven? Why it's tre- mendous! It's there waiting for us, if we but ask. To us Catholics it would seem wasteful; it would seem unreasonable; it would seem down. right nonsense not to use all pos sible heavenly pull to back up our requests to God Almighty.
 Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us!" All ye holy Saints of God, pray for us!"
 There is equally sound logic be- hind every Catholic belief and prac- tice. Our purpose in publishing these articles here each week is not necessarily to persuade our readers that our belief are right, but rather to persuade you that they are not unreasonable, not approximations, not evil. It is only by creating such mutual understanding and trust that democracy can be made to work in our community, our country our world.

Mrs. Hall would like Nancy to encourage wealthy Frank Edgar. Edgar, however, seems more interested in the other daughter, Emily, Visiting Nurse intent on her job.
 VISITING NURSE
 CHAPTER TX
 THE following day Emily ar- Il rived at headquarters little early and sat down to make out her reports.
 The supervisor, Miss Ansing, was there ahead of her and pres- ently Emily went in to talk to her soberly about the polio case in the mill district. The other nurses came in, wrote their re- ports, repacked their bags, re- ceived their first calls, held informal conferences.
 The Cranberry V. N. A. setup was considered a model one for a city of it's size. Various chari- table and philanthropic organiza- tions had united, together with the Department of Health and Welfare, to produce smoothly running organization. This was governed by central board. with various committees, and Miss An- sing had her hands full, not only m allotting the work for her nurses, but in keeping the board happy and satisfied. No easy job these days operating with a streamlined staff in an -popu- lated town.
 When Emily returned to- the general room to pick up her bag, Frances Vanes wanted to know what was in the box she carried.
 Birthday cake for Mrs. Sim- kins,' said Emily, candles and all, very fancy decorations. Ellen baked it. I'll stop and get the ice cream and cookies later.'
 "Why cookies, isn't the cake enough?" Frances demanded, yawn- ing.
 You don't expect the Simkins' will eat the cake?" asked Emily. Its just for show, the cookies and ice cream for eating"
 THE telephone rang, the calls Il were coming in.
 Mrs. Simkins was chronic, and Emily called on her every week.

MINISTERS ASSIST
 MIGRANT WORKERS
ETA Protestant Clergymen Caring for 600, ,OOO in
 B States

Religious and social ministry to 600,000 agricultural migrant labor CTS in g states is being provided this summer by staff of 274 ministers, community workers and child care workers in an interdenominational program sponsored by g Protestant denominations through the Home Missions Council of North Amer ica, it was announced today, by Miss Edith E. Lowry, executive secretary of the council and administrator of migrant work.
 Church services, Sunday Schools, Bible classes, recreational programs daytime care of children, leadership training and other activities are de- veloped for the migrants of many races and faiths by the religious workers in the belief that this pro- gram contributes to the migrants efforts in food production during the war emergency, Miss Lowry said
 Nearly 85,000 seasonal farm work CTS from Mexico, Jamaica, the Ba- hama Islands, and the Barbadoes Islands who have been imported by the Federal Government as migrant workers in the corps this summer find a welcome in religious activi- ties led by people of their own na- tionality who serve on the Home Missions Council staff. More than 200, 0,O00 Spanish-speaking Americans and 68,O00 American Negroes who are migrant workers this summer also are given spiritual leadership under the inter-denominational pro- gram.
 Through the staff of 31 ordained ministers, 102 community workers 124 child care workers, 10 assistants in vacation Bible schools and others, an effort is made to provide not only a religious ministry but also aid in developing a more ade- quate standard of living for the mil grants and a sense of belonging and being wanted in American commun- ity life," Miss Lowry stated.
 Financial support of $123,4 ,450 for the summers program comes from the denominations, state and city councils of churches, from Protes- tant women through their World Day of Prayer offering in February and from the employers of migrant labor.

I This was the day, and it would be her first call. With her bag, and the box, she went out presently to the street car line and rode through the hot and dusty streets. She left the car at the Sinking corner and went directly to the drug store to buy quart of ice cream and from there to the near by bakery.
 Emily climbed the three flights to the Simkins' fiat, in a big, shabby, made-over house, it's steps rickety, it's paint and paper peeling.
 She set down her bag, knocked and the door flew open. Mrs. Simkins' youngest grandchild, in. credibly dirty, stood there, beam- ing. He was 8, tow-headed, and wore pair of his fathers trous- CTS cut off at the knees and belted about his waist. r. Hello, Mike"
 Hello, Miss Hall" He looked at her solemnly. He said, "Every- one went out. Except me and Grannie."
 Grannie was in bed. The room was clean enough. Grannie was comparatively clean, too. Her high-necked nightgown was mere- ly grimy, her scant yellowish- white hair was braided and tied with ancient ribbons. A sponge bath, an alcohol rub Mike, do you think you could find me a clean pillow case?" - and the usual gossip. Mrs. Sim- kins liked that better than any, thing elese. Her feud with her daughter -in-law. The fact that she feared the oldest of her girl daughters was up to no good. But Sam, the older boy, he'd gotten himself job Relief took care of the rest of them, after a fashion.
 DO you know what day it is?". asked Emily.
 Friday"
 "It's your birthday" said Emily. It was now time to produce the cake, the ice cream packed in dry ice, the cookies.
 Mrs. SimkinS' faded, Sunken eyes were bright with excitement and pleasure.
 Put it there," she commanded, ''on the dresser, where I can see it."
 When Emily left she was smiling. CHE made her first calls. Rang O the office for more. The Costi- gan family doctor wanted her to go and give bath and an enema. The Adams child must be taken to the orthopedic clinic. She saw the Bristol boy, recently dis charged from the hospital, mas- saged his stiff leg and put him through his exercises. She saw the almost brand new Benson baby, which had been delivered at home, and presided over bath and a feeding, as the veSy young mother was still nervous and in- competent.
 All in the days work,
 At lunch time Emily was walk ing down Market street toward the little tea shop where she usually ate.

 'It's highly irregular she said.
 Girl, you have to eat. Come on, you're blocking traffic" he countered as she stood there in- decisively.
 "All right" she said reluctantly, as she fell into step beside him. I've just an hour, though" she added in tone of warming. (To Be C0ntinued)
