However, Mangum said trat,
food is the best buy ever. A total

for food.
Farmers still are the low man

increase in income amounts to

Mangum urged farm folk to be

Unification in a strong organiza

This is the best way to make

He Wrote Before Reds Killed Him
They'd Kiss The Soil
Back Home In U.S.A.
CHICAGO (UPI) _ To his former teacher, Ber.
Hard Masny mailed a theme that rated an “A“.
So the teacher, Mrs. Marjorie Mooney, read to her
class the words of Bernard Masny.
Bernard, Mrs. Mooney told the class, had been
a student in that very room at Fenger High School.
He was not of high academic acheivement, Mrs. Mc/,ney
said, and had trouble especially with composition.
Mrs. Mooney told the class she helped Bernard
with his theme assignments. This encouraged him to
stay in school and be graduated with his class in
June, 1964.
Now Mrs. Mooney read from a letter Bernard
wrote to her. It was written in Viet Nam, for shortly
after leaving high school Bernard became a marine.
“A person may curse out his country," Bernard
wrote, “but if he were here, he would kiss the soil of
the United States.
“People never know how good they have it until
they go to war," Bernard wrote.
Then he described how it is when voU're being
shot at by a sniper. He said the sniper missed.
But shortly after mailing the letter, Marine Ber- <
nard Masny, 19, was kilted by the Viet Cong.
Mrs. Mooney told the class: “He always wanted
to do his share for the school - I think he has."
Then she folded the letter. Her class in Anter
lean history was dismissed.
