building an everlasting monument
took hold of Cheops in Egypt. He
set his subjects to work on lt. For
thirty years over 100,000 men toiled
on the red-granite structure that
today covers thirteen acres of
ground.
3700 years later an Idea of love
mastered a young man In Nazareth.

As a matter of fact, the world’s
best known men were the ordinary,

Such a sailor as Columbus was very

neighbors, will desire the comforts
and conveniences that we share.
They will need capital and technical
assistance. Above all, they will desire
the four great freedoms which
American lads have known since
birth.
The friendships of these people
will be won not by guns and bombs
and war, nor by greed and exploita
tion, but unselfish sympathy and
cooperation.
The chief concern of many chap
lains and ministers Is that the youth
of this generation shall not miss be
ing used by such “Ideas.” Now is
the hour for youth to set the sights
right; not only for the months of
this bitter war but for the years to
come. If youth will keep its vision
clear, then America will be proud
of these humanitarian ideas that
used its sons in this generation.

AN APPRECIATION
Being impossible for me to per
sonally thank each one for the
kindnesses shown the while in the
hospital I want to take this method
to assure each one that their ev
ery act was appreciated. Many of
my friends called personally to visit
me, others sent flowers and still
others wrote letters. v If ever a man
appreciates expressions of this na
ture It Is when he Is flat -on his
back In a hospital. These expres
sions coming dally was truly the
best medicine I could posslby have
had.
My best wishes to every 001’, and
personally I assure you that I will
ever remember you for thesr kind
nesses.
Truly, your friend.

Selective Service said today.
Answering queries, Selective Ser

It said it is up to each draft
board to deal with its particular
problems, but it pointed out that
not all of the physically fit in the
18-25 year group necessarily will be
drafted.
“Many of these have families,” a
Selective Service spokesman said.
"And we are continuing our policy
of taking single men first. If we
get enough of these to fill the

course, we will not need to take
