TOEKENCK THE TOWN our'e never lonesome till you leave the town, Where you spent many hours Just walking around Ifou remember the people you use to know, , Knd all the places you use to go, rhere were no movies, dances, and soda shops, tad carnivals, parades with their traffic cops, rhe sound of children and running feet, rhe noie of a car comming down the street, rhe familiar cry of the paper boy, And his fists beating loudly upon the door. But now its gone for a year or more. .4 : AA v four civilian clothes are packed away, ' KaA your wearing the uniform of the day, '" " - Because they know your feeling blue, rhe folks back home will write to you, As time goes by the days, grow shorter, j, and your thoughts go home to your wife and mother, you might have gone fishing before you left, 4 And found the pool you liked the best, ' Instead of a pole my fine young man, ITou'll find a rifle placed in your hand, A killer's weapon from front to back With plenty of powder and hard impact, 1 ITou'll learn the weapons use in war, to kill and mangle the rich and poor, In days to come the war will cease, ' Und you will go home to a land of peace, rhey will cheer and shout but some will cry, Secause their friends were willing to die, It might be the end for a fighting man, But he died to save his beloved land.

Bostic of Kenansville, North Carolina, has recently arrived at this base, home of the Air Proving Ground Com ; By CHAPLAIN GUS NOLAN Duty has called me four times in twelve years to leave my fam ily for assignment to an overseas post. First the war in Europe in 1942. The second -call, 1946. was Germany in the Army of Occupa tion. The third tour was Korea, which to forget would be ok with me. Today here I am getting ready for another three-year-duty assign- meat somewhere in Europe. Going abroad nowadays does not mean as much as it did a decade or so ago. Remembering my boy hood, I recall a cousin who went to France.iJa my boyish thinking she carry a 'short snorter' home to my young high school son, thinking he would be equally as proud of his 'pa' having flown across the Atlantic. Soon after reaching my home in Cordela, Ga, the 'short snorter' was duly ' brought out and presented "to the son. He ac cepted it in a rather nonchalant way and said, "That's nothing. Major Williams down the street has made eighty-five round trips." That floorede. I had, had it. Be that as it may, I am on my way again.

Then an gaw countless starving children. uncle rMTtried a girl who had done 'the grand tour all over Europe not once but twice. What manner of woman was she? In this let age, however, it is hard to find a person who has not crossed one or more oceans several times. Returning home at the close of the war and after thirty-three mon ths in England, France and. Ger many, it was my good fortune to fly from Paris to New York. Every one had at that time the 'short snorter' rage - that is having every one on the plane sign his autograph on a dollar bill. Some 'short snor- tance flown by the individual to ten feet and longer. Bills from var ious countries were added to dol lar bills. Having done very little flying previously,. I was mighty proud to many to whom I gave theft first candy and gum, will soon live again in my memory. Those piti ful, tired, old and broken men and women who had jBee ntheir beloved country raped and destroyed twice, for seme it was the third time, by an invading horde from across the Rhine! I, wonder if those I knew will still be trodding up the cobbl ed streets in their wooden shoes that reverberated every sound? .
