Writes From...
the PACIFIC
I'LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU

For two years Calcutta had
been his home, and those years
were made pleasurable by a small
charming and talented young In
dian grill. Many days were spent
enjoying the sports and affairs of
occasion that the social Calcutta
had to offer. They were always
together, at parties, dances, or
dinners where the two of them
were alone. HIATT
She knew that they couldn't ev-
er be married. Government diff
ferences, Religion, and their thots
only were in accord as far as their
love was concerned. He loved her
yes, she truthfully believed that,
and believing, she made those two
years pass so very fast, to her and
to him. They loved without shame
without strings attached, and
they knew that it must end, once
the war was over. Facing it now,
a reality, they were not prepared.
Standing here now, she seemed
~ oAA4dAAy Sot1lRd1Co " ll1o IOWCI-
ing height. Arms entwined a.
round each other, not wanting to
ever let go; knowing that the
whistle would soon be heard by
the both of them, tearing them a.
part, forever. No words passed
from their lips, not even a wills
per. Afraid to let each other go,
clinging so hopelessly, helplessly,
and knowing that there would be
no world to come for them, but
years of longing, wanting and not
finding.
Finally, and very softly, ne
spoke, MY Darling, I didn't think
it could ever be like this, our love,
our being together. You have
given me life where I have known
no life; you have given, without
thought for yourself or your flu
ture, and, believe me my Dearest
Love, there is no way that I can
ever repay you"
Tears slowly formed in her eyes
but the enchantment of their love-
liness, eve dulled. Her trembi-
ing body suddenly relaxed, as if
to give way to the pain in her
heart, tearing her very soul. Try
ing desperately to answer, words
failed her as she murmured, MY
Dearest, Dearest, Darling"
Somewhere from a distance a
whistle was heard, and knowing
that this was the end, they STEP
ped back from each other as if
driven apart by a flash Of lightn-
ing. Taking n last look at her
beautiful face, and, as if, afraid to
look at her loneliness again, ne
turned sharply, walking straigh
and fast up the gangplank. No
going back now, it was over, all
over.
Her tear strained eyes followed
him. Eyes that had frightened
with joy so often at his coming.
Smiling through her tears, wav-
ing weakly to him, panic took hold
of her. She stumbled, running af-
ter him, and then crumbled in a
broken mass of tortured flesh
upon the ground, exhausted, from
the heart-ache, the emptiness.
Struggling to rise again, her lips
moved, but only she knea what
they uttered, so painfully. Trying
to smile again, but UNI BIZ because
of the terror in her heart, in her
soul. She whispered, as if to her
self, IN always love you" and
fainting, fell to the earth.
1t might have happened, Don't
YOU think So?
AS Ever -

CT. INSURANCE.:

Too much high pressure on
draftees when they took out govern
ment life insurance on entering the
service and not enough salesman
ship now to get them to keep it after
discharge, are the main reasons why
three out Of four veterans are laps
ing their insurance. according to a
study by Northwestern National Life
Insurance company.
World War II service insurance is
less flexible and carries fewer privi-
leges than government insurance for
veterans of World War l.

Predict Another Full Larder for u. S.

Total food available for civilians in 1916 will be considerably greater
than in 1945 with average food consumption per capita expected to be
larger than in 1945, the department of agriculture reported. All foods
however, will not be equally plentiful, with pork, the better grades of beef
and veals, fats, oils and sugar in shorter supply.
Most of the expected improvement in civilian food supplies next ear
from the sharp cutback in military food requirements, which will
drop to onethird II even one-quauer Of the 1915 level. Exports arr
shipments Of food in 1916 will continue large, assuming that satisfactory
financial arrangements are completed. The greater part of these exports
viii move in the early months of the year. mainly to the United King
don. and the liberated areas Of Europe.

Uncle Rays Corner

During the past month people
have talked more about atoms than
ever before. This widespread interest
arose after atomic bombs were
dropped on two japanese cities early
in August.
Yet atoms are old things-the old
est things in the world. Scientists
have had fairly good knowledge of
them for many years. Looking
through my scrapbooks, I found that
had written about atoms six years
ago. Here are few of the things
I said:
They make up the rocks, the soil,
the plants, the trees. Metals, jewels,
water, air-indeed all things known
to man-are composed of atoms.
The head of a small pin con-
tains thousands of trillions of atoms.
There was a time when men be-
lieved that such tiny bits could never
be broken up, and that no one
could learn what they were like.
That time is now past. During
the present century men have found
ways to break atoms apart! >. The
work of breaking up atoms may some
day show the world how to obtain
power of untold value"
Yes, there were scientists who
split atoms years before the out
break of the second World War. Al
most at the end of that war, the
world gained an idea of the great
explosive force in atoms. Americans,
British and Canadian scientists had
learned secrets about setting this
power loose so it could destroy cities.
The work of using atoms for human
good is still in the future.
In sense, however, atomic bombs
have been at work for good all
through the ages. Explosions are
taking place on the sun right along.
The best scientific opinion is that
the suns light and heat come from
the breakup of atoms in the sun.
Without such light and heat the
human race would pass away.
Long study of the sun has proved
that huge explosive tongues of
fame leap up from its surface. These
can be studied best at the time of
total eclipse. They reach great
heights, sometimes rising more than
quarter of a million miles! One of
these flames may have as much VOL
ume as several thousand objects the
size of the earth.
