With 18th Fighter

Corporal James A. Klaas, son of
Mrs. Andrew G. Klaas of Route 3,
Box SO, Canton, Miss, recently
took up assignment with the 18th

province of Pampanga, sixty miles
north of the famous but still war

Arayat, an extinct volcano is the
landmark of the province. The eli

that of Central Florida. Tropical
fruits such as papaya, pineapples,
and mangoes can be seen growing
right on the base, and in the
mountains back Of the base live
pigmy Negrito natives who still
maintain their primitive customs.
During his stay. here, Cpl. Klaas
will enjoy the complete facilities of
the base such as golf course, swim
ming pools and bowling alleys.
Cpl. Klaas joined the service in
May 1948, and after attending the
General Jet and Mobile Training
Schools at Chanute Field and Otis
Air Force Bases respectively, left
for overseas duty to the Philippines
last December.
Cpl. Klaas was a former student
of the Madison-Ridgeland High
School at Madison, Miss, prior to
his joining the service.

When Jesus died on rugged cross
1t was not just for one race
1t was for all who would believed
on him
And not any color of the face.
III
He died not to give his life for
color
1t was to save a lost world
And yet the human world today
Is destroying our best young girls.
Ill
Why not see your mistake today
Tomorrow may not come
Death comes as a thief We are told
SO allow Gods will to be done
Though you can not bender the
word of God
Your job is to get in his will
Gods will is mercy one
His sons on the cross of calavery's
hill.
V
Jesus was born for our mercy
The word father have mercy on me
When Jesus broke the news to the
world
That our soul it must be free
VI
Jesus did not come to destroy
His coming was to just fulfill
That's why he gave his life for US
On the cross of calavery's hill.
VII
Air planes are flying in the air
Automobiles running on the ground
How many souls running slow
enough
To receive that starry crown.
The human life is just as fast as we
Say this modern day
And the wealth of our human right
Are being destroyed some way.
TX
Why not hit up a standard TO-DAY
And the wealth of our young girls
Our churches ought to be the place
And not the other world.
X
A kingdom of happiness we are
told
Are waiting for all of Gods lambs
And hill is waiting for all of
their sins
And their souls are going to be
damned.
