As I was asked to -write you as Father of the Month, I an very glad to stop niy icG truck long enough to say hello to Hu^ and Ralph and each one of you. 'As most,; of you know I have been the ice man here for a long time., 'I have had the privilege of .seeing all of you grow from boyhood into young manhood. I am very' proud ^and thankful for the way each of you have taken part in defending our Country, As I make my rounds and pass the homes of you boys X remember the times when you'were kids and all of you .were always getting into something, I remember when my son, Hugh, decided to take a horseback ride, guess it was his first. Well, the horse threw him and he was laid up for.a while vdth a shoulder.out of place, I guess that all of us fathers think'of c?.ll of those little things and think they are nothing to what you are now facing, but boys in the face of all of the danger there is one, vjho' is able to bring you throufjh without a'scratch, so look to Him for help at all times, V/ell boys I had.better ^t going as this kind of weather calls .for a lot of ice. You fellows hurry’home and we will get out that old ice-cream freezer and make us a good run of crearii.j^ . So. i;^til, then may God watch over ‘all of you and keep you safe from all harm.
