Boys are all counting the days

No. 706-or could I be mistakn?
Anyway, there is no telling about
those Servicemen. Quite a tickle
bunch 1 understand.
Eddi, 1 was talking with Ma
rine who was down in the area of
No. 706 and he was telling me
about the natives they met up
with. Judging from his report, it
would seem that he had been Tilted
by those of the opposite sep. His
statemnets would lead me to be-
lieve that the South Sea Maidens
were anything but attractive. He
was so vindictive he spent almost
a full ten minutes speaking of
their lack of qualities. One could
readily tell that this fellow was
suffering from the lack of modern
technique. However, I've decided
to await your report before I form
any definite conclusions. After
all, you know I'm not too old to
travel.
Good luck to you Eddie, and
thanks again for the one peso, and
ten centavos notes you sent
through the kindness of your good
mother.

DEAR MOTHER

Dear Gold Star Mother,
Were you with us today,
Grief and pain and sorrow
Would vanish far away.
For on this day of days,
We honor all the mothers,
Whose sons fight for their
country,
Giving themselves for others.
You gave your dearest treasure
Your country's need to fill,
His the supreme sacrifice,
1t was the Fathers will.
So, for all Gold Star Mothers,
Our prayers arise today,
No sacrifice is greater
That anyone could pay.
Remember Gold Star Mothers,
Though sad at times you feel,
That Earth has no sorrow,
Which Heaven cannot heal"
Composed by Mrs. Kelso,
