Hubbard, co-publisher of The Journal-Patriot: Since my mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. Dan H. Hudson, had you send me your paper, the Journal-Patriot, I want you to know, as well as them, that 1 have been getting most every copy. It surely is nice to read a paper so many, many miles away from home and about people that you know and love at that. I have read letters in your paper from boys in tie armed forces that I attended school with there in good old North ’Wilkesboro. A lot of the boys pictures were in the paper; friends of mine that I was worried about, but your pa per answered a lot of my prob lems. I have received quite a number of letters from friends there at North Wilkesboro and also from men in the armed forces giving me the dope on how they and my friends are doing. I also receive a letter every few weeks from people at the Wilkes Hosiery Mills company where I worked at the time I came into the Marine corps. They let me know just how my friends at the mill are doing and incidentally. Mr. Hub bard, there at the mill tre some of the finest people that I ever knew and ever expect to know. Some day I hope to be right back there with them. You don’t, know just how much you really love ’ and appreciate dear old Wilkes until you get in a place like I am in now. I know now though that it is the grand- e.st and prettiest place on earth. For I have seen a h of a lot Born to Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Canter, of this city, yesterday, at The Wilkes Hospital, a daughter; weight eight pounds and four ounces.

April 1 Closing Date For Cotton Crop Insurance Closing dite for making appli cation for insurance on the 1943 cotton crop has been set for April 1. and no application will be ac cepted after that date, according to Tom M. Cornwell, Cleveland county farmer and a member of the State AAA Committee. The insurance progmm. Corn- well Si’id, is being offered to North Carolina growers for the second time this year by the Fed eral Crop Insurance Corporation. Insurance contracts offered grow ers a guarantee of either 50 to 75 percent of the farm’s average yield against losses from un avoidable hazard.s. such as droughts, floods, insect damage, hail, windstorm, frost, fire, and other acts of God or the public enemy. A new clause in the contnucts this year protects growers, against losses caused by wartime short ages of labor, materials, or ma chinery, provided it is determined that full use was made of the amounts available and every pos sible effort was made to secure additional supplies. '‘This year probably is the most important agricultural year North Carolina farmers will ever ex perience,’’ the AAA official said, "and it is up to us to give as much protection as possible to any crop to which we devote land, labr.r, and materials. Loss of a crop from unavoidable causes means loss of income, and we must main tain a balanced farm economy if we are to continue to produce maximum amounts of war crops.’’ He said yields which may be in sured and premium rates are available In County AAA Offices in all cotton counties. Applica tions may be made at eounty of- Oces or may be filed with county and community. AAA committee imen. of the world since I left home to compare It to. I am going to see more of it in the near future, Mr. Hubbard, so my address will probably change, but I will let you know as soon as It does s.i that I may continue to get my pa per as usual. There is no doubt that with all the rationing and new laws, that you business men, or as all the people as far as that goes, are having it hard, but I’H-teH you one thing if you people can just give we Marines the things we need to do the job with, we will do it and do it goodr once and for all. Let’s hope that it won’t be long so that we boys that are go ing to return will be coming home soon. Of course there will be a lot of them that will never see home again, but if it is God’s will. I’ll be back and all in one piece. Well, Mr. Hubbard, tell Mr. Carter and Dwight Nichols hello, end if you should run into any of my friends tell them about the only thing we boys have to look forward to is mail and I would love to hear from them. Maybe 1 will be able to answer their let ters and maybe not for I never know what will happen next, but 1 will try. I have already written to dad and mom thanking them for having you send me the pa per. Now I want to thank you for sending it so promptly, of course it is a month old when I get it, but it is still new news to me. Since I started this letter, Mr. Hubbard. I have been given my new address. It is at the end of the letter and all mail after March 1st written to me must bear this new addre.ss. It is a rather long address but very important that it is written out and not abreviat- ed. A Wilkes Marine. CPL. W. J.

V-Mail, one of the amazing cre ations of World War H, is con- sidaed by naval authorities to be almost as important as ammuni tion to the fightiag men at the front, who each day, loA forward to morale-boosting letters from home—end who may be missing such mail because it has not been sent as V-Mail. No type of maily they point out, regardless of the melthod by which It is sent, is as sure of reaching the sailor, marine, or soldier in distant parts of the world—and no other reaches the fighting men as quickly as V-Mail. In the few short months since y-Mail came into being more than ten million such letters have been delivered to American fighting forces on foreign stations or bat tle areas. Most letters written and sent by V-Mail are photographed on micro-film, but should it go to a locality where it cannot be micro- 'filmed it is still more practical because'it is lighter by 40 per cent and an equivalent amount of air mail. It is emphasized that V- Mail, irrespective of whether or not it is microfilmed, has the highest priority of all personal mail. Due to the method of photo graphing the letters, few if any of them ever fail to reach the sailor, marine or soldier for whom they aie intended. If a roll of V-Mail film is lost en route to its desti- nurion, another roll can be repro duced and forwarded with little loss of time. V-Mail has made the long trip between the United States and Australia in seven days, to Ha waii in three days, and to Africa as fast as planes oen take It. By using V-Mail, valuable stor age space that can be used for guns, planes and tanks is saved. V-Mail weighs one-sixty-fifth as much as ordinary mail, and about 1600 letters converted into V- Mail film make a package scarce ly larger than a package of cigar ettes.
