Lieut. Geo. Cooksey Missing
In Action Over France
The War Dept, has notified Mr.
and Mrs. George D. Cooksey that
their son, Lieut. George D. Cook
sey of the Army Air Force, has
been missing in action over France

during these four years under
German rule? It''must have been
hell for them. A person of eleven
or twelve in 1940 must remember
little of his old kind of living. I’m
praying that it will all soon end,
and we will have a better and
greater world in which to live.
I’m afraid though, that there is
a tough battle ahead. The Jerries
aren*t going to give up easily.
They wanted expansion and par

guess the Germans will have to
be content with their own little
country one of these days. Fropi
the air most of these countries
on the continent look much the
same, and there is no compari-.
son with our country. Their whole
land is made up of small farms,
