I left the little town and went out
again into the peaceful country
side, through the pleasant orchards
and farms, past the houses with
solid blankets Of flowers instead OF
grass for yards. 1t was a scene of
homely goodness and simple beauty.
And suddenly I came face to face
with one of the ugliest tokens Of
today-one of those signs which
have begun to appear in France and
Belgium and elsewhere-a sign
crudely daubed in white paint across
an old stone wall on the outskirts
Of Brussels. 1t was reproduction

.Playfield Is
 Proposed
: VFW Sponsors Plan,
 Promises Quick Action

WASILLA Determined that the children of this community would go no longer without a space for organized recreation, members of the Veterans of For eign Wars voted at their last Monday meeting to sponsor the construction of a playground.
 The playground, which will be located on ground donated by MT. and Mrs. Thomas Carter of Wasilla, will be laid out to in- clude a baseball field, tennis court and volleyball court. VFW members are organizing the work now and have announced that the playfield and it's install lations will be complete by next spring. The club has assumed complete financial responsibility for the work, according to quar- termaster Jimmy Nelson.
 Playground planning was de- layed momentarily at the Mon- day meeting, while four new members were welcomed into the WaSilla club. The four in- itiates are:
 Clyde D. Farley, Andrew L.. Mustain, Thomas L. Grier, Wes- ley H. Mailanen.
