A SOLDIERS DREAM
I had a dream the other night,
AS sweet as sweet can be.
I thought I saw my darling wife
And kids, would love to see.
I know my darling wife is wait
ing,
With out-stretched arms for me,
And praying for the husband,
That is far across the sea.
I can never forget her beautiful
And the smile I love to see
So I know wherever I 60,
She is always praying for me.
So pray, dear friends at home
Pray for the day to come,
When this cruel war is over,
And victory has been won.
Your prayers will be answered,
And victory will be won,
Then the boys overseas,
Can all come marching home.

Rome:
I'd like to tell you my experience
on line
The night we took Hill Sixty
Nine
May the 18th at II P. M.
Was the time set for the attack
to begin.
This hill was part of the Gustav
line
The English had broken it, but
fell back each time,
Now it was time for the Yanks to
try,
Each man was ready and will
ling to, die.
At 11:00 o'clock we laid barrage
That will 60 down in history
none ever so large,
The men started out to this hell
hole on earth,
Facing machine guns and ar
tillery bursts.
Through Trimensuli we had to
move fast.
For it had the name of Purple
Heart Pass,
To get into position our chances
looked slim
For most of the ferries had all
Zeroed in.
On the side of the hill we had to
dig in,
With mortar shells singing |

u. of NJ. May Use
Willow Run Housing

Ann Arbor, Mich, June BINS
University Of Michigan ofhcials
today moved TO set up referral
service for war veterans, which
would permit University use OF war
housing in Willow Run Village.
The University expects to enroll
approximately 1900 veterans
within a short time after hostilities
end. But the most crucial housing
shortage in the colleges history
now is noticeable.
University plans are more or less
stymied by the fact that the land
at Willow Run cannot be purchased
by the University because 1t is own
ed by the Federal Housing Auth
ority.
Plans, now only in the explora-
tory stage, include a program to
provide transportation to and from
the campus for veteran students.

A complaint by an earnest little

but firmly presented his views
through an interpreter along this
line:
when you Americans first came
here you gave TO Okinawans who
started working for you trousers
and shirts much resembling Amer
lean uniforms. We were proud 10
wear these and they gave us much
face.

A military government official eI-
planned that II was necessary TO
brand the clothing to prevent thefts
and TO keep oyergenerous Ameri'
can troops from giving their cloth
ing to civilians.
"Brnading OF shirts we do not
mind" the Okinawan spokesman
replied. "What upsets us is stamp
ing the seats of the trousers. When
we stoop over and our people see
MG painted on our bottoms they
laugh. We no longer can be proud
OF our uniforms. We have lost
face"
