Didn't even remember the anniversary date. And if Johnny's mother did, she didn't let me know. Never thought I'd overlook it. The war didn't really start for me until Johnny died. Too busy lately to think about myself.

1 guess that's good. We gave up the house. My wife spends her days in the Veterans Hospital, acts as if a ward of wounded was just light housekeeping. Women certainly show the stuff in the pinches! We have a lot of company these days Ames have lost both boys. Young Hargrave, who wanted to fly.

A flock of decorations, and the Congressional Medal, posthumous You could have flattened me with a ladyfinger when I found out he was Ernie's son. Next day at lunch I told Ernie I was sorry, how tough it was to die at twenty-three. Ernie brushes off crumbs with his menu. "Ya, ya.

Too bad, too bad. But it's hokay." I didn't get him. "What's okay about it?" "Lissen. You do not understand maybe," said Ernie. "Paul was a fine boy.

His mama and me very proud, but not sorry. Paul has a goot home, fine clothes, education. He is never we Amerikhners make the other peoples believe and hope and trust each other! Hmmm hmram. Chicken hash au gratin is nice today, no?" as the institution's 13 national fra ternities emerged from more than three years of comparative Inactivity.

Returned Keivice men and 16-year-olds now form a large part of the student body, the committee emphasized. Besides prohibiting "all forms of hazing, dressing in an odd way and public displays and stunts intended to embarrass or ridicule the pledge," the new rules adopted by Colgate's fraternities prohibit demands that "shall consume unreasonable time, cause undue loss of sleep, require extraordinary physical exertion or endanger the scholastic standing of the pledge." Colgate's fraternity houses are to remain closed until the college approaches normal post-war life, but each fraternity will be allowed to pledge five civilian and five Navy V-12 students this semester. No V-12 students have been pledged In the past. President of Colgate is Everett Case, son of Mr. and Mrs.
