"When I go to town it costs me about $1500 to get a meal and in the long run it costs you about as much as it does at home. I don't know whether you will understand what I mean or not. but I am put ting a couple of hundred in this letter, which are worth about a dime. It will not be long before I will be on my way home."

Johnny Walsh, 22, who was with the Navy on Guam, was almost smothered with affection from his three mother less children when he came home this month. His father, who had been taking care of the young sters, said that their mother had become very despondent about two months ago and disappeared. Grandfather Walsh, who is 75 years of age, said that he had taken darn good care of the chil dren but got afraid that he could not keep it up and had written the Navy Department' to let his son come home. And It's No Wonder A Scotsman ordered his lunch at the hotel cafeteria and asked for a "buttle o' milk." When lie reached his table, he found that he had buttermilk. Grumbling he turned to his table companion and said, "The trouble today is that the girls don't pay attention, for surely when I say a "buttle o' milk' it does na' sound like but termilk. Mind ye, lad, I'm not blamin' the girl, for the same thing has happened at other cafes." So far as the records reveal no Chamber of Commerce has ever been satisfied with the census fig ures as to population.

They are replanting land denuded by forest fires. P. How many forest fitzs dots America suffer each year? A. The United States has an average of 2 1 0,970 forest and woods fires every year. Q. Is the burned area exfensVe? A. It is almost unbelievable. Each year forest and woods fires burn over 3 1 ,000,000 acres more acres than there are in the whole of New York State! Q. What causes forest fires? A. 10 percent of all forest and woods fires are the result of lightning. 90 percent are man caused! Q. What can be done about forest and woods fires? A. Little can be done about the 10 percent resulting from lightning. But the other 90 per cent, caused by carelessness on the part of average American citizens, can and must be prevented. Good Americans perhaps you, your neighbors, your friends are the guilty ones. Of course, you don't intend to start fires that kill little trees tomorrow's timber as well as big ones. But that's no excuse. So please be more careful than ever. Read the rules on this page. Ask your friends to read them to learn them by heart to follow them in all forest and woodland areas.
