This week The Polk County News
was informed by a national busi
organization that according
leir records me roue county
ews would be 60 years old this
year, and extended congratula
tions. It is hard to believe that
this editor has been publishing the
paper one-fifth of that time. Mis
sildine’s is probably 60 years old,
too. And in checking on the Bal
lenger Co., we find that it is 64
years old. B .L. Ballenger, the
president, reports that John Han
non has been a customer of the
store ever since it opened, and that
he will give a hat to any man who
ran beat that record. If there is
none he will give the hat to John
Hannon."The war news
rets better. Warsaw which saw
war the longest of any European
capital has fallen to the Russians

LETTERS TO DR. TAYLOR
Somewhere in Holland.
Friday, 15th Dec. 1944.
Dear Dr. Taylor:
Forgive me for not answering
your nic6 letter which I received
quite some time ago. I was de
lighted to get it, believe me. It was
so good to hear from you and to

Taylor in your lovely garden. In
deed, I would be happy to be there
with you having a “coke”.
Things have been moving at a
pretty fast pace for me since I
.saw you last. I’ve been in six
countries since then and have seen
many interesting things. I was
m London for a few hours and of
course only saw very little of that
great city. I haven’t been to Paris
yet, though I hope to go there
some day.
I’ve seen quite a lot of these
countries since coming ashore in
Normandy. There is a great deal
of beauty to see, and a terrible
devastation wrought by war, too.
It reallv is terrible to see an en
tire city beaten into a pile of
rubble, and I’ve seen that. Nor
mandy was full of it. And now it
looks as if Germanv must pay
with the same fate. This was the*
fate of Aachen, the first large
German city to fall. We were in
that battle.
You can bet I’m eager to leave
