OPEN FORUM WHITE THANKS (The following letter to the An drews B. W. C. is from a native of Clay County.) Dear Members of B W C.? Bach Thoughtful. Generous one o 4 you: What a surprise when that big package came - how good to see the "Whi taker Bros' tape on the outside too. A package from America doesn't mean just the package and contents to me; a package from America means all the thoughtful planning; all the lov ing, generous thoughts; hours ol' meeting, collecting, sorting, pack ing. all the work of getting the box. the wrapping paper, the cord, together; of taking it to the post office i where Mr Pullium care lully weighed if It means dollars which go into postage \o. the finished delivered parcel with the generous contents is just half of what is appreciated on this side I'm sure you know what the contents mean, meant or will mean, to so many people The baby clothes are precious and have made some you n <z mothers very happy, and will make more happy, as I save things until I find real iveed for them The pretty blue blouse was immediately nabbed up by a woman who deserves so much help She was so happy with il - and the chick terra cotta cotton two-piece has gone to a little huh school girl for the summer and she was so delighted with it. The linen knickers are fine for the summer - I've sent two pairs to the Click students who fled from Russian terror iind are being cared for here in Utrecht). 1 also sent some of your i ?oap. thread and toilet articles to them.

Every time 1 think of Andrews. ! have such a warm feeling around my heart. You were all so hospi table. so generous and so welcom ing when 1 was there ? and then this parcel I wish you had sent your names. The list would bring each of you nearer, and bring memories of other days and years Since seeing you. conditions have become much better There is now something in the stores Heady made clothes; altho larger sizes are still scarce, yet there is something for everyone, if one isn't too chodcy about color etc. - : nd can pay the prices.

You. with your higher taxes, your high r.?>t of living - .\\:h all your problems so willing , ?o share with others But that is chat made America great, through !i ? years - that feeling of helpful ness and sharing of helping one -mother Here in fcurope. they can't understand the spirit. They always , seek some motive behind any help i ? <that is just their reaction. I keep dinning at them that \ merit a , does it to help - not by which to gain some end. Of course we all know that the official helo for Europe is to build a barricade acainst Bolshevism. We all know that, but I always say. "Yes. of e mrse. but for the world, not only for America." Kurope. with her centuries of < \ < '-population, of distrust, of ! tical conspiracy, can't under hand a spirit of helpfulness with out selfish aims behind it.

I won't say that they felt .his way about the parcels from you. as individuals. They realize what it means to you. to send the things to them, as strangers No. it's the general spirit, as lo the ,'eneral or government help etc. You may be sure, I give the con tents of the parcels from the U S only to pec pie who really appre ciate it. Rest assured of that America has always meant home to me - now. it seems even more it's just one big. generous heart. God bless each of you and bless your work which you are doing for others.

Sunset Over The Western Plains Can you imagine your.-elf stand ing on a hi eh projecting cliff, matching the sun set over the great plains and rolling sage hills of America. When you near the top of the tliff, the sun is still shining very biightly. A warm breeze is blow ing and birds are singing in the rottonwood trees near by Large white clouds are floating about in l lie beautiful blue sky. You watch the sun as it begins to slowly sink behind the purple horizon In the far off distance \ou can see fields and fields of : olden, yellow, grain, blowing ubout in the warm breeze In other directions you can see white -and hills treeless savannas, roll ing sage, and broad ?>rairie> On one side, there are high mountain ranges with large, bare, waste lands at the foot. On these waste lands. cactus and other desert vegetation grow. At last, you turn once again toward sun set This time just to ee the gold and purple clouds mass over the western range leav ing the rolling grass plains an orange and purpling landscape Yet while you are still standing there, gazing into the far off spaces of life; You think to your self. How can anyone keen hatred end hold grudges against his fellowman? How can people have wars and battles? If only they could look on the good things of life or if they could just picture a story like this in their mind, life would be much happier to them." ? Dee Whitt Sharp Andrews. N C.
