ELDER SMITHS
YOUNGEST DAUGHTER
DEPARTED

The following extracts cop
led from Elder Smiths letter
of June Is, 1919:
"To my great sorrow, my
youngest beloved daughter,
Lillian Grace (the late Mrs. M.
Portbury) passed away very
suddenly on June 4, 1949, at
the age of 80 years and eight
months. I had visited her on
the afternoon of June LIST at
her home in Box Hill. Entering
the back door, l found her in
the front room, playing and
singing at the piano. [ waited
just outside the door until she
finished. When she saw me
she came to me quickly, put
her arms around me and kiss
ed me, saying, ooh, Dad, I'm
so happy! God has been so
good to me and made me so
happy. I have never felt this
way before!'
81 looked again at her face
lit up with gladness and it re-
minded me of what is written
about the face of Stephen (the
first deacon to pass away. She
was just the same when I left
her at the front door. I am so
glad that / visited her that day.
con Saturday, June 18th,
very early, two of my sons-in-
law visited me and greeted me
with-"Dad, we have very sad
news for you" When I asked
what it was, they told me that
Grace had passed away in her
sleep. She was found lying face
downwards on the pillow.
"She leaves her husband,
three sons, and one daughter,
to mourn her loss. Please pray
for them"
With Christian love,
Elder A. J. Smith.

found the wiring is far more

Next Tuesday we go to camp

Leroy began his trucking
service in 1889. He started in
a small way, and had progress
ed to where he had two trucks
on the road when war changed
his prospects and plans. By the
end of 1912 he had to discon-
tinue his trucking, storing his
two trucks for the duration.
In Uncle Sans Service
On December 81, 1912, he
reported for service at Camp
Grant, Illinois. He received his
basic training at Clayburne,
La, in the engineering school.
His next transfer was to Los
Angeles, California, and to
Beaumont, Calf, where he re-
ceived his training in building
hospitals, etc.
March 10Th, 1914, he was
sent to Guadalcanal, where he
built air strips, and hospitals.
From there he was transferred
to the Philippines and he took
part in the first wave over
Cebu. In reminiscing, he relat-
ed what an effective job the
bombers had made on a city
as large as Waukegan-Cebu
was laid flat with the excep-
ton of the Cebu University on
the outskirts of town, which
building they occupied as head
quarters and as hospital wards
for the forces. He was Battal-
ion Supply Sergeant.
Their next job was to con-
vert Liberty ships into trans
ports. They were all packed
and ready for Japan, when
Japan surrendered in 1915.
Then it was their duty to con-
vert many ships into troop
transports for the conveying
of the enormous assemblage of
man power back to the home
land.
1t was a happy day for Lee
Roy when he received his Or
ders to proceed homeward
bound. After 20 months in the
Pacific, he was discharged on
December 81, 1916, at Camp
Grant, Illinois, three years to
the day of his entry into the
armed forces.
His army experience and af-
filiation with traffic and truck
ing management experts from
private concerns in the service,
put new ideas into LeRoy's
mind, which he was now free
to develop.
Now Uses Five Trucks
The Davis Truck Service
now demands the use of five
trucks-one semi-trailer; s.
12-ton trucks, and a light de-
livery truck. He also has a hy-

piece of equipment, can be roll
ed and then raised to the truck
bed height; and, upon reaching
it's destination, the heavy ar
ticle can be lowered in the
same manner.
His Family
LeRoy's grandparents, Mr..
and Mrs. Fred C. Davis, came
to Zion in 1912; while LeRoy's
maternal grandparents, the
Bereiters, were old-time Zion
members. LeRoy's parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Davis, lived on
Kenosha Road where he was
born. Leroy attended the
Howe Grade School and Green
Bay Road when there were on
ly eight children in the one
room school and the same
teacher taught all eight grades.
There are now between 80 and
100 children attending Howe
school, which is being consoli-
dated with Beach School.
Leroy attended the Gurnee
High School and the Lake Col
lege of Commerce in Wauke-
gan, taking a business course.
When he completed the course
he worked with his father on
the farm, and, when he was
nineteen, started hauling farm
produce to Chicago and the
Northshore towns. However,
when the summer was over,
Leroy went into the regular
commercial freight trucking
and furniture moving, the start
of his present trucking bust
ness.
On September 5th, 1912,
Miss Evelyn Robbins, the eld-
est daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
A. c.. w. Robbins, was united
in holy wedlock to Leroy Da-
Wis in very pretty wedding
ceremony. This happy couple
have been blessed with two
girls: Leah, born August Fl,
1943 (while her Dad was away
in the service of Uncle Sam)
and this coming Fall she will
attend the First Grade at the
new East School at 3Oth and
Elm Avenue; and Jacqulin,
who first saw the light of day
on October 16, 1914, and will
start Kindergarten this Fall.
Mr.. and Mrs. Leroy Davis
were members of the Central
P. T. A. last year and will
transfer their membership to
the East School.
The girls will have only three
blocks to walk to the new
school from her parents home
at 1921 Elm Avenue.

EVERYTHING IN THE HOME

Congress and legislatures generally
are beset by q complex to get many things
at the same time. Look in any issue of
daily paper and you will see bills for this
and for that. all entailing large expendi-
lures of taxpayers money.
News from Washington is that move
ments are afoot to boost veterans pensions
by 25 percent. to increase spending for
more free. lunches in schools, TO provide
larger amounts for drainage and to load
up. the Rivers and Harporssbill with port
barrel projects, e,se 49, ,s
~ Congress is on spending spree.
Member after member has some. pet pro-
ject that will help to pile up governmental
expenses. AS The Oracle noted two days
ago, the S45 billion the administration has
asked for the next fiscal year. beginning
on July l. exceeds by $5 billion all the gold
that has been mined throughout the world
since 1912. the year Columbus discovered
America.
II is generally agreed up Washington
way. that the United States will not return
10 the gold standard Even though this
country has more gold. $24 billion. that all
the other nations in the world combined,
II would be something of joke to return
TO the gold standard with our horde of
gold a little more than one-haf as much as
the federal government spends in year.
Money. or the use of it, is iii itself d
mysterious thing. It led the late Arthur
Brisbane to remark. Nobody knows what
money is" Still. that does not ease in the
least the pressure on Americans who work
to get money and have more than "a per-
cent of it taken from them in taxation.
Some men, whose earnings are small, think
they are getting off lightly. They are not
aware that much of what they earn is paid
in hidden taxes on everything that goes in
to the home.

While there may be ground for de-
bate between the various farm organiza-
tons as to the merits of the administration

argument about the necessity of extend
ing government support to the farmers
of the nation. A prosperous agriculture is

country who realize that the depression
Of theses eentered largely around the
collapse of farm prices.
II is natural for most of the farmers
and their representatives to Judge all
measures by the money-return to the farm
ers themselves. This is, of course, one of
the measuring rods of effective legislation

government policy should be determined

The farmers of the United States raise
crops in such abundance that they are
unable to sell their surpluses on the do
nestle market. Consequently, they must
look TO the outside world for the disposi-
ton Of much of their cotton, wheat. to-
baecO. and other crops. This selling on
the world market tends to fix the price of
farm profits on the basis of the world

The complaint of the agriculturist is
that when the farmer gets ready to buy

suit of legislation passed By the United

difficult to. shed tears over the prospect
that the national government will pass
legislation beneficial to agriculture. Never
theless, justification for farm price sup
ports and other legislation tending to inter-
fere with the law of supply and demand Is
to be found in the tariff policy of the
United States which is an indirect subsidy
from the government and also. an inter-
