Rainy days and evenings, the

Mrs. Magma continued.

The food was simple but ade-
quate, prepared by two school teach
erS who volunteered for the work

said.

An unforgettable feature of her
experience were the truck rides from
one bean field to another.
The So acres were broken into
different fields she explained, "and
We were driven by truck from our
quarters. The view of the hills and
the surrounding countryside was un-
forgettably beautiful"
She did not Join up" with the
Land Army last summer because, as
she explained laughingly, Il was
too busy chasing my fiance around
the country" The young couple
was married in the late fall
Girls will find plenty of fun dur
ing their Land Army service. Mrs.
Magma commented, because at the
square dances and other gatherings
which the workers attend in recrea-
ton hours, there are usually plenty
of young men. You see, they are
farm workers and have therefore
been deferred" she pointed out.
I'VE never went to a dance without
finding plenty of partners.

By Gretchen Smith,

The appeal for recruits for tn

Mrs. La Fell Dickinson, president O

NEGRO TROOPS CELEBRATE

big troopship sat in the harbor
awaiting orders. In the distance the
mountains of Dutch New Guinea
sparkled with the lights of a re-
Gently captured base.
On the big ship, Negro and white
troops managed to enjoy themselves
playing cards and checkers. 1t was
one way to pass the time away be-
cause of course their destination
was unknown.
Officers on the upper docks
scanned the horizon as tiny de-

patrol of navy watchdogs flew by
in formation and headed out to
sea.
Little groups of white and Ne
gro troops sat and talked about
their girls at home and discussed
the town Of Muncie or Oklahoma
City of Patterson.
They had a lot in common, these
boys. They were young and eager
to get started on the task that lay
ahead.
Someone thought about New
Years and wondered what the boys
and girls back home were doing.
New York would celebrate in the
usual bang up way. Chicago would
be going wild. ST. Louis and Mem
phis and any other city would be
really putting things on the ball
in the true New Years style. But
what about a way out here in the
Pacific?
Would the New Years of the past
be as energetic on this ship in this
far away world? Time flew by and
soon it was Is minutes to IL.
Voices were a little more hushed
as the hour of the New Year grew
close. A quartet led by Henry T.
Brown of New York was singing
on the starboard side of the ship.
On the port side somebody was
passing out magazines and news
papers from the states.
Then it happened. From an un-
disclosed number of ships in the
harbor came the scream of fog
horns and whistles. Rockets of var
ious colors flashed into the sky,
lighting up the scene in a myriad
mixture of colors. All bedlam broke
loose as the troops realized that
even in the Pacific, Uncle Sam
hadn't forgotten to celebrate. Nor
ris Goode of Patterson, N. j., tuned
up his trumpet and soon the whole
ship echoed with the gala celebra-
ton. The boys requested Goode to
swing out on his own composition,
"I'm Going, But I'll Be Back" and
the trumpet king swelled the air
with the notes of the popular num-
Der.
To top things off, boatload of
mail arrived in the morning and
soon the troops were whistling and
talking of the things they would
do next new years.
That's the way your son, husband

should never forget to write your
soldiers every day!

will naturally look to expansion and
growth.
Mr.. Wallace showed keen interest
in the work Pierson had been doing
among crippled ch dren and
through other philanthropies in
which he is Interested.
