HAZEL
EYES
Nv HAZEL

Daily the number OF young men
returning from the service is being
increased. Thousands of them now
r looking for jobs to settle down
to being civilians again to build
ing homes and rearing families for
the days ahead.
Many such men have already re-
turned to Lexington, Durant, and
the other Holmes county communi-
ties . men who have served their
country well and are now honorably
discharged from service. Some have
already made places for themselves
in their hometown communities.
Others, fortunately, had places Of
their own to return to . assured
jobs and assured futures.
But there are some low looking
for jobs jobs good enough to
make ii possible for them to main
tain a home and q decent standard
Of living for themselves and their
families . jobs that will make it
possible for them to stay in their
hometowns.
Our various communities have a
responsibility and a tremendous OPP
portunity in these young men. With
out them our towns will practically
dry up and blow away. We need
every young citizen in the building
OF our several communities and Hol-
mes county. We cannot insure the
future Of our county II all our young
people have to 60 elsewhere to live.
It Il serious problem and n de-
serving the consideration Of our
wisest and ablest leaders.
The most frequent complaint
heard from the young servicemen
returning home Is there Is absolutely
nothing 70 "do". There isn't much
to do in the way Of public enter
tainment in any Of our small towns.
The church activities and the movies
offer the only diversion from every
day monotony. Lexington does have
its country club and golf course but
there Is little planned activity there.
II Lexington, Durant and the rest
of our Holmes county communities
want to keep the citizenship Of the
returning servicemen they must get
busy and do some planning. Those
who think the serviceman will be
20 glad to get home he'll never want
to bulge again are going to be sur
prised. He win be glad to get home
and a lot of them will be glad
to stay home IL they can find jobs
and have a good life. But they are
not going to be interested in living
the rest Of their lives in a town that
takes in the sidewalks at eight o.
clock In the evening.
These factors should be taken into
consideration in the planning OF any
memorial to the servicemen. Some
thing in the order of a community
house would be a great deal more
practical than a marble statue or
similar marker . . and would serve
the living while honoring the dead.

Phone Shortage
Is Still Acute

Because wartime restrictions are
being relaxed on the production of
certain types of telephones equip
ment for civilian use, many of the
thousands of applicants for tele-
phone service are asking 'How soon
will | get my telephone?" states
Mr.. w, A, Reinhart, manager of the
Hagerstown Office of the Chesapeake
and Potomac Telephone Company
of Baltimore City.
There are more than 800 applica-
tons for service being held in Hag-
erstown for lack of telephone facili-
ties and more applications are being
received each day, but the limited
number of new te1epho S
that can be expected under the re-
stricted manufacturing program is
nowhere near enough to meet the
demand. 1t will still be long time
before all those who are waiting
for telephones will be able to get
them.
The removal of restrictions in the
telephone industry finds the tele-
phone manufacturers in this posi-
ton: The war with Japan has not
been won and the industry is still
so tied up with military orders that,
until all these requirements are full
filled, it will simply be unable to
resume large-scale production for
civilian use. Take telephone instru-
ments, for example. The industry
has been freed to make as many
of them as it needs, but until ma
terials and manpower become avail
able, its output is going to be limit
ed and far from sufficient to supply
the widespread public demand. The
same difficulties will face the com

Pete Swanson's son, Pete Jr.,
brought his tenth Jap plane
down last week, and his dad
couldn't help Dragging.
But / got to thinking about
Pete Senior: how he hadn't
missed a day at the war plant
since the war began; how he'd
worked overtime and Saturdays
and Sundays: how he'd kept
himself i'm shape, been temper
ate and sensible, so that he'd be
at work cIear-headed, bright
and early every morning.
So, when he invited us over

Sgt. Harold H. Schriver, son of
Mrs. Harry C. Weber, los West Side
avenue, who has been in the Serv-
ice about three years and overseas
since March, 1914, as a member of
an Army Air Corps ground crew,
has recently written his mother a
very interesting letter about his trip
across and his duties since that time.
The letter, dated May 20, stated in
part:
"We were loaded aboard the
Queen Mary on March 20, 1914, and
had a quiet trip across, arriving in
Glasgow, Scotland, on March 26. On
the way over was put in charge of
the baggage detail, which / didn't
think much of at the time, but later
found out that it was rather i'm
portant job, since the Queen Mary
held the Port record for many
months for unloading time.
eve arrived in lovely Spring
weather and for some months were
stationed at an R. A f. Field at Full
beck, near Newark, England. Later
we were stationed at another Field
in the South of England and it was
| from air fields in this vicinity that
the planes and elders took off on
D Day. will never forget the thrill
we got watching them take off and
later, when we got the good news
of their successful landing. The
people of England have a wonder
full friendly spirit, despite the hard
years of war, and often invited the
boys in for spot of tea and crum-
pets
"In October | led a Truck Convoy
into France and was struck with the
devastation of ST. Lo and other
cities that had been laid low. In
cidentally, I will never forget that
rough trip across the Channel"
In later letter the sergeant wrote
his mother that his unit had been
chosen as part of the Army of Occu-
patton and that he did not expect to
be home for year.
The sergeant is graduate of Hag-
erstown High School and was form
erly employed at Fairchild's.

and Mrs. Nathan w. Souders, 416
Fremont street, who enlisted in the
U. S. Navy in 1913 and was honor
ably discharged from the Naval
Hospital at Portsmouth, Virginia,
last A u G u wasn't satisfied
to remain civilian while
his country was still at war, so he
joined the Merchant Marine and had
been in Hafia, Palestine for about
five months. He writes home that the
country there is very pretty and
that he can look out at the noun
tains, which, unlike the American
mountains, have no trees on them
He told his parents that he expects
to get back to the U. S. A. by De-
cember.
