PAGE SIXTEEN THE ECHO NOVEMBER. A Reminder of the Nativity ■ ECUSTAN IN SERVICE Shining brightly as a reminder of the glory of the Nativity, some 1,944 years ago, this is but one of the many outdoor mangers established during the Christmas season throughout the country. Like the animals that clustered around the holy manger on the first Christmas, a dog can be seen on the left, wonderingly viewing the scene. Pvt. Thomas Brown writes from somewhere overseas: . I am always glad to receive mail from someone at the plant . It reminds me of the swell times I have had working for you all, and I hope this finds everything at the* plant running tip top . . . Have been receiving the Echo a little late, but am so pleased to get it I don’t mind its being lat?e . . . Sure wish I could have been at the 4th of July picnic. But this time next year we are all looking to be at home . . I sure would like to meet up with one of the boys that used to work at the plant ... I haven’t run across but one since I have been in the Army . . . Give my regards to everyone at the plant . . . and hope to see them soon.” Mary had Been promoted to the third grade.

You sit in the mud, see? “You got a floor show of lizards and mosquitoes crawling over your face. “You got a nice little 4-piece orchestra of Jap mortars, Zeros, machine guns, and your best friend screaming in the next foxhole. “Come any time, paL The show goes on all m'ght. For a long time. There's never a cover charge. Not even for the flag they put over you when they carry you out.” We're all human. We all like to go dancing or see a show or buy an extra suit or dress occasionally. But this war still has a long way to go. There are still ^5 million Japs who don’t believe in surrendering. So during this 6th War Loan, how about putting all that luxury money into some thing a little more permanent—an extra $100 War Bond at least—-to help getthis thing really over and bring those boys of ours home? lt*II hurt. But not as much as the Jap bayo net in your neighbor's stomach. You get some thing back — in ten years — $4 for every $3 invested.
