Then another group OF
cars would be stopped by the

would happen. They watched,

four times, and then two more
policemen came up and they

Write to Men
In Service

MILWAUKEE, - NC) - Bish-
op Philip ]. Furlong, Military
Delegate, has given some advice
for those whose sons, relatives
and friends are in the armed
services.
Keep In close touch with
them. Write to them. Send
them the family and home
town news; keep up a regular
correspondence" he urged In
an interview here.
During World War ii people
were conscious of the men in the
services he said. "The average
parish had one or more societies
which corresponded with the
boys, sending them materials,
parish bulletins and news.
"This has been dropped large
ly, and it is pity it has. It ought
to be revived to the fullest, for
the boys need this contact with
their parish and their home"
He declared that only an occa-
sional young man gets into trou-
BILE in service, but he is generally
the one who is neglected by the
people at home.
