yWOTHSR' OP T H r* r" >AOMTH Dear Boys and Girls: I have been asked to write a letter for the Hoover Rail, and as X know you all enjoy your paper so much, I vdll try to add lay bit. As m ost of you know, my son, Carlo,is in the Navy. He is pretty young to be in the service but that is what he wanted and I am very proud of him, as are all mothers who have sons in the service. The Red Cross Drive is on, and Lawndale is working hard to raise their quota. Nearly everyone has contributed, but if we are to get our quota, everybody has got to help, and help at once, and I know we aren’t going to fail our boys» Spring is almost here, and I expect everyone .will be’glad'to see warm weather again. V/e’ll be.out working in ouf gardens pretty soon and we’re keeping our fingers crossed that a late cold snap won’t kill the fruit crops. Practically everybody.is looking at seed catalogues now, gett:^ ready for good gardens. It’s easy to plan them, but not so easy to work them later on v;hen the July sun gets hot and,the weeds grov/ like magic—still we do want to do our part raising-Victory garden's. And now most every day when you go in the Post Office, you hear the ’’Pee p-pecp” of little chicks, so guess there’ll be a plenty of "fryers” later on - And hear ing the little chicks holler isn’t all you hear in the Post Office these days, as the girls gather in there for their letters from you boys. They squeal and holler, "Ooh" and "ah," oyer their mail and are plenty happy when their letter comes through O.K,, so don’t'fail,to write and Trt’ite often and the girls aren’ t the only ones waiting for mail, Hpms & Dad are too, and you should see the happy smiles on their faces, when their boy has v/ritten them. So you see mail call means a lot to home- folks, as well as it does to you. The Seniors at Piedmont had their,class play last Friday Night. It was a comedy "Full of Youth" and Janice Falls, Denice Spangler, Fred Cornwell and Richard Hord did their parts well, but for that matter, all the cast did beautifully. I know lots of you boys would have enjoyed seeing it - won’t.be=long now until school is out for the summer and the children will be busy "chopping cotton;" 'Wherever you are, boys, in the South Pacific, in North Africa, in England, Italy or in the States, remember we, at home, are thinking of you every day and doing what wo can to back you up. Go ,to church services whenever you can, be good boys, .write oftej[i,and keep your chin up, , : . • * Love to all, , Mrs. Arthey Elmore » •
