PAGE TEN 'THE PARIS NEWS. TUESDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 6, 1945 Editor's Pyle is with the Nax-y in the Pacific. Pending receipt of his dispatches' from that war theatre we are publishing, a few ar-, tides he wrote before his take-off from San Francisco, of which the following is one. By ERNIE PYLE SAX first half dozen columns or so are being written in San Francisco taking off for the Pacific. They are a very sketchy report on my doings on the home front.

If you can bear a little reminiscing I'd like to go back over these past four months of furlough, and bring you up to- date on the Prodigal Son's recent activities. Well, since leaving France and returning to America, I Crossed the continent three times. Had eight teeth filled. Spent my first Christmas with "That Girl" since the war started. Mowed the lawn once.

I've been photographed 1000 times, was made president of the Rio Grande Steamship Navigation Co. (Blubber Division). I've been' kissed by Paulettf Goddard, Olivia De- Haviland and Jinx Falkenberg all in one Six people sent me oil paintings they'd done from photographs. Tve sat up all nights on trains, and three nights on airplanes. I've said "no" to at least 500 requests to speak, and hare managed to keep well supplied with cigarets.

Kind people have flooded me gifts. Mayor Clyde Tingley of Albuquerque opened it -with a S500 wrist -watch, which so overwhelms me' that I left it in a safety deposit box back- home. Who would dare wear a $500 watch? I've had luscious apples from Washington State, pecans from Mississippi, half a dozen homemade hunting knives, two college degrees, a Texas cowboy belt, foxhole shovels, one baby sun glasses for the Pacific, and one noble friend came with 1C of "bacon. We've had. so much" company at our house rn Albuquerque that one night I slept on a-canvas cot in the woodshed, and one night on the living room floor my new sleeping bag (I didn't sleep very well either).

Despite all the frenzy, I've felt almost pathetic in my happiness at being home. I've had a wonderful time. The older I get the better I like being alive. I wish it could go on fcfrever. People are always asking what I think of the "home front," expecting me of course to raise hell about it.

Well, I don't know. In the first place it's so wonderful to be home" that I find myself reluctant to criticize or even admit any flaws in the home front. It is true that a great many people don't know there's ai. war on, or don't seem to care. And yet I realize that I could very easily let myself sit down and take it easy and never think of war again, except in' an academic way.

I've had no bad incidents during these few months at home. But- I have learned from experience that it's almost infuriating in. a helpless sort of talk to most civilians feelingly about the war. On trains and in public places I find myself drifting automatically to -boys in uniform with overseas ribbons or service stripes, for we can talk tjhe same language. As an example of what I mean, one man said to me one day in complete good faith "Tell me now, just exactly what is it you don't like about war?" I think I must have turned a little white, and all I could do look at him in shock and say MODEST MAIDENS "If the gent- don't like it ya can bring it back tomorrow." Greater Low Yields and Prof its Realized by Conserving Soil Low yields can be increased and profits made larger if we feed the soil by returning thing to it each year for what we take away in, the form -ot food, feed, and fiber.

This, is the belief of farmers who are cooperating with "the North Texas Soil Conservation District. This belief has been, demonstrated by these farmers during 1944 in that they have more soil conservation practices in to operation on their farms than in any year, in spite of the extra effort that they have-had forth to produce for the war demands. 1944 completed with 256 farmers cooperating with the North Texas Soil Conservation District. Below is' a summary of the-accomplishments of these farmers who are hard to and build the fertility of their 'soil in order that they might maintain a good income from, their farms. 6:00 6:15 6:30 7:00 7:15 7:30 7l45 8:00 8:15.

It's little things like that which make returning soldiers fSel their misery has all been in vain. I don't think America at home is either unwilling or incapable of getting fully into the; war. We need only to be told njore what to do, and to have scarcities and Igrimness applied clear across the I Personally I'm glad for President's proposal for a national service act. 1 think it will stiffen up the whole American nation, and through touching almost every family, make people buckle down.

That, and the cas- lualties that lie ahead of us. I believe the worst of our war is still to and that before it is over everybody'in America will really feel it.
