SYLVA - Sint'ial to Mountaineer Mr. and Mm. Dan K. Moore re ceived a letter from John Parris telling about his trip hack to Eng land after his vacation in the States last fall; he describes his Christmas Eve as follows: "I spent my strangest and lone host Christmas at sea on a storm tossed vessel. For the first time in my life I really felt alone, and helpless. For I was so near loved on i' s and yet so far away. There were five other passengers on the ship. Our quarters were with the crew nothing luxurious. Two of the fellows and I were lucky enough to be billeted in the small four-bunk hospital. So on Christ mas Eve we crowded into our hos pital cabin, and sitting on the bunks, had a wee drop of spirits. It just didn't seem like the Eve of Christmas. I'm afraid all of our thoughts were elsewhere, and there was an emptiness in our hearts. The year before Miki and I had been together and we were able to send greetings to Mother and Dad. But if I felt sorry for myself, I only had to think of the tens of thousands of our boys on the battlefronts and the others on the sea." "Christmas morning was just another morning in our log. The eggs and bacon were just the same; but a little later when the word went through that land was in sight our spirits soared and we thought with a little luck we might be able to make port by late afternoon. Noon came and there was a glor ious (..nristmas dinner quite a surprise: Turkey, nuts and all the essentials, plus a fine pudding. The National S aman's Association fix ed Christmas boxes which had been put aboard ship in New York, and each member of the crew, and we passengers had gifts. It was nice and extremely practical, soap, razor, toothpaste, shaving cream, comb, wallet, cigarette lighter, fountain pen, writing case, chess board and a sack of hard candy. There were no other presents visi ble. We didn't have a Christmas tree, nor was there any sort of decoration. Those things were re served for home and the luxury liners; but we did have Christmas music when the Captain, a white haired Estonian who became a U. S. citizen twenty years ago, turn ed on the radio and pickecf up Lon don. We heard the bonds of Big Ben striking twelve and then I knew I was getting close to home. It was a wonderful feeling. "The Captain was in a glorious mood and came over to tell me he thought he could get me ashore by late afternoon. "The Captain kept his word. I was ashore and at 6:30 p. m. had called London to announce my ar rival. "I spent the early part of Christ mas night at the United Seaman's Institute Hotel, where there was dinner and a party for the Mer chant Seamen. It was there that I saw my Christmas tree and began to feel that it was Christmas. Her seated at tables around me were men who daily were risking their lives to keep the supplies pouring through to our boys in the front lines. They were men of every creed and every nationality, a Greek and a Portuguese sailor sat at my table. A negro mess boy from Mississippi, who was studying for the ministry before we got in to the war, sat across at another table. He had served me on the trip across and had been delighted to know that 'someone from home' was on the same ship. He had sailed to Sonth America and into the Pacific; bat this had been his first trip across the Atlantic, There was to be a dance bat my train was leaving at nine fifteen p. m., so ! I departed. At 10 o'clock I was asleep and Christmas was over for i me. I "London, wrapped in darkness and fog, looked good to me at seven-thirty p. m., as I stepped from the train onto the dimly-lit platform of the station. An hour and a half later I had managed to get a cab, ten minutes later I was home and the vacation was over." "It was swell being back in Sylva and the States, seeing all my Dr. S. P. Cay is expected to re- urn to day trom Chicago wnere has been attending the Mid- Winter Clinic of Dentists. Jones Is your wife economical? Smith Very. We do without al most everything I need. friends, you all were so grand to me. "I am getting back in harness again and it's a good feeling after two months of inactivity. Give my regards to all my friends." Yours, John. If Your Hose Fills Up Tonight -Get Quick Relief! .. r-.
