MOTHER OF THE MONTH
Denr Boys & Girls in the Service:
Tfe Mothers are a3.T/ays fjlad to write to our Boys
and Girls, and I feel that it is a privilege to be
"Llother of the Month" and \7ritc to all those -v7ho have
gone out from hero "Upon the Land and Sea and in the
Air." I havo planned to write so inany letters and
have not done it. I am. proud of all of you and think
of you constantly. TJlicrcvor you are, our prayers and
faith ond love go tdth you.
V/e mothers keep very busy trying to keep the
hone ready for you vjhenever you come home either on a
visit or to stay. Vfe aro planning big gardens, and are
going to raise nore young chickens, than wo havo ever
done, so that there will bo food for every body. Just
picturc your fathers and brothers spending their
spare tine hoop-ng the garden instead of pleasure
riding. You vdll be surprised at the nuniber of folks
that are getting interested in raising chickcns. Tlae two newest chicken raisBrs
are Charles Fomcy, Jr. and Jim Osborne, Ch.ai’les Forney's brooder house is about
the fanciest brooder house you over saw. Jin Osborne has sold his car and has
turned his garage into a chicken house.
Ifc enjoy your lutters so mch and do hope that you will write again and that
others vdll write. It seens that we aro broufjit closer together through this little
paper.
Remember that the Mothers ^.re lOOf!^ back of you and we pray that Our Heavenly
Father idll be with you wherever duty calls you. I would like to close my little
letter with this beautiful prayer, I car.ie across in a magazine
EVIimiG PRAYER FOR V/'AP.TD.ffi

For our Cor;!mon.7oalth v/e pray.
