Ruth MiIIett them reading
together the letters that were
actual proof of the wife's con-
tinued love and faith.
1t was a heart-warming story.
How much happier for all concern
ed than the stories of the wives
who have given up hope for their
men when they have been re-
ported KILLED in action" and
have gone ahead and married
again only to discover that their
husbands are still living.
Faith that results in a wife
waiting for a man month after
month when he is believed to be
dead won't bring him back, if
the war department report is
correct.
Waiting Is Duty
But with even the slight chance
that the report might be wrong,
it seems as though the wives who
are told their husbands are Of
ficially dead shouldn't try to for.
get to the extent of letting them
selves fall in love again-not, al
least, until the war is over long
enough for there to be no posi-
bilit of a mistake being made.
1t is, perhaps, in some ways
easier for a human being to make
himself accept the indisputable
fact that a loved-one is dead, thar
to live on the forlorn hope thai
he might somehow somewhere still
be alive
And yet it seems from the stories
OF mistaken death reports that have
already come out of the war
wives should keep faith until after
final victory.
For it would be better that e
thousand wives wait within rea
son-than that one should mistak
emily marry while her husband is
still alive.
Waiting is the duty of womer
in Wartime-even when it seem!
they are waiting without hope.

otonus barren view ON all sides.
The late 1t. Gen. Simon Boil
var Bpckner Jr., began a pro-
gram by. importing thousands of
trees from Alaska. He even
brought many from mainland
camps, including white, balck and
Sitka spruce. mountain hemlock,
northern black cottonwood, bal
sam, poplar, aspen, alder and
willow.
The question of whether the
forests will develop is open, say
the botanists. They describe in
the. same way the question of
why. trees have. not survived in

planting program, if it does sue
coed, will bring the first forests

years.
