mer employee, has been reported
missing in the Near East. The par

to the gold star, the flag now con
tains 176 blue stars in memory of
our employees in the service.

CONQUEST COURTESY
How courteous is the Japanese; he
always says, “Excuse me, please.” He
climbs into his neighbor’s garden, and
smiles and says, “I beg your pardon.”
He bows and grins a friendly grin,
and calls his hungry family in; he
grins and bows a friendly bow: “So
sorry, this is my garden now.”
The Job Printing Department
Regrets it must lose the services of
George Buchanan, who leaves this
week for the Army, We aH wish
George much luck in this new
’’occupation.”
