■ fff\ MOTHER OF THE MOMTH “Dear Boys and Girls; ■ I consider it- an honor in being chosen Mother of the Month and I take great pleasure in vjriting to you.?.n this issue; Ianxious to do my share, thougn it be little, to help keep us on the'. "Sunny side" of life. Now'that the djalll days, of winter have pass ed we can shed'our coats, .bring out our brr^t colored Easter clothes and be outside in the sunshine among our flc5wers.’ Quite a few flow ers. are -in. bloom, \iMch reminds me of Keats in his poem, ’'A thing of beauty is a joy ip'eyer”. If .we fill cur minds with beautiful things it will cheer “us now and leave pleasant memories for.later days. There is much we can do on tie home front toward racking you boys and girls in-service* Keeping cheerful is an important part, I have - !ieen told that letters from home to the boys and girls in the Armed Service, keeps 4. ivheir morale up, 'I feel that is true since my boy has been called into the Navy, I find that Harry*s letters home keep my morale up. Boys remember your loved ones at home are'waiting for the mail each day - ¥/rite every time you can. • • My heart goes out in sympathy to every mother v;ho has a son in'our fighting force, I 0jn proud of all the boys and girls who are serving under our- Flag, I once read that in World War I, that'English mothers would stand on the streets of London as soldiers w ere marching away to war, as others cheered they would clap their hands while tears streamed, down their cheeks, I guess that is the way all parents feel, both proud and sad at the saine time, ; '' ' . . I know all of you are doing your part v/illingly and well,- wherever you are. We are trying to do our part here and fill your places at work as much as .we can, I have accepted work which is^helping me to pass much tine that otherwise would be long and lonely hours spent at home,• In the meantime it is helping to keep the wheels turn ing that victory may be speeded. The v;ar work comes first while our flowers, house- ^ work and many‘other things are in second place. Wlien we have helped to earn a per— manant peace, when the lights come on again all over the world and each of you are home again, there will be time■for insignificant matters that once occupied first place, God bless our boys and biririg them safely home. Mrs, Odis Royster
