DONT FORGET THE SOLDIKltS 11
THE CAMPS
The Editor:
From every nook and comer In th
SUt· our young men bn gone to tb
unpi to learn the soldier'· lift
Shortly thoy wUl represent m on &
firing lia·, end other* will be caBe<
to »crric· in their place·.
While they arc training, τ hat eai
the home folk· do to help them
These men are offering their lire· to
». All that we can do for thu wil
nut equal the sacrifices they an
making.
After talking with hundred· «
them in the eamps, I want to off·:
three practical suggestion· to thi
people at home a· to what they ma;
do. Erery penes who read· thl
étalement ean easily, and should, glsd
ty, do all of them.
First, send your home paper to a<
least one soldlet at the camp. Pie)
out one of the man yea know am
subscribe for your home paper am
•end tt ta Urn Any member at U
family will give yon his correct ad
dress. Write him a letter and tel
him you are sending It The coat wil
be trifling. The thought will be ap
prcf latcd. It i· not an set of chanty
hat an act at patriotic service.
Second, at least once a «reek, mak<
it a point to write a letter or a card
to some soldier at the lamp. Send
him a magasine or a good book oc
casionally.
Third, keep your troubles at home
The soldier has enough of hi· own.
Be strong enough and imeeWiah eooogl
to rat ont the trouble parts of youl
letters. There are plenty of good
th ncs to write about. The eojdiei
has a maa'i sise job, and besides, ha
cant help you. Why worry him when
yon have a better opportunity to look
after your troubles than be has te
help you?
Follow these practical soggvetionj
and you will render a servile worth
while.
