I spent Saturdays and Sundays on the farm, but during the week I lived in town. I had a room in the basement of Judge McNamara's home, tended the furnace and did the little work around house and yard that was supposed to pav for my room and board. Mary Hitshos was ahead of me in school, for I had missed a couple of years. Yet, occasionally, when there was a school function for which she had no date, she would draft me to take her. 1 was back in a pleasant flow of living.

Jan, too, enjoyed those Mo was building back the fan.i. was fruitful work, even though discouraging at times. It was hard work. Old Jan had to be constantly on the alert to prevent the wind from further ravaging his soil. If the land started to blow, he had to get out onto it immediately to roughen it up- Then there was replanting, sometimes several times, for the windblown soil would cut off the tender shoots like emery.

The Judge watched the development closely and the friendship between the two men ripened into somethin" fearful to behold.

DOTTY'S SMART FOR Some Veterans Will Need Home Nursing Care By MARY BEARD Director, Nursing Seivice, American Red Cross Written for NEA Service A MILLION MEN have already received medical discharges from the armed forces.

The causes vary from neuroses to amputations, of course. Bui it is unfortunate that rumors have greatly exaggerated the extent of individual war injuries and caused undue apprehension in many families. doctors and nurses have done an unprecedented job of a i i ng the damage done by war to our men, and have returned many of them to their homes in a condition that makes it possible for them to go to work without delay. Otiiers are on the road to recovery but still require nursing care to help them make their adjustment to a new way of living. Thousands of women all over the country will have the responsibility of picking up where the hospital leaves off and helping their men back to health and useful activity.
