LETTER FROM STAFF SERGEANT VERNON NETIIERLAND Scott Field, 111., April 1, 1945. Dear Mr. Mangham: Well, as It is Easter Sunday and I was thinking of my family and all of my friends in and around Rayville, I thought I would try to drop you a few lines to say hello and wish to say that I hope you and everyone a very happy Easter. As I know that there are many of our boys in churches, homes, on duty here in the States and those that are on foreign fronts in fox holes and fighting that we may celebrate our holy days the way that we wish and like to, we are thinking of our folks back home and wish that soon we all can return and be with them. And as I am here in the States I am speaking for not only myself but for those that are where they can not write, and I am sure they would like to say that we are proud of our folks and friends and that some day in the near future that we have everlasting peace.

I had a very pleasant week end last week end. A pilot friend and I flew down to Columbus, Miss, and I paid a visit to a friend of mine enlisted in the service along with me, and we have been apart for two years and 5 months. He is TSgt. Larry Taylor, from Mangham, La. He and his wife and myself had a very nice time over the week end.

Mr. Mangham, I look forward to every Monday to where I can get the home paper and read the news back home and see where my friends are and how they are doing. Well, I will close for this time and sending my very best wishes to all my friends and wish them a very hap py Easter. Yours truly, VERNON A. NETHERLAND Sgt.

II. RUGGS SENDS POEM TO MOTHER USS Rowe, March 24, 1945 Dear Mom, Here I go again. First of all I want to thank you for that delicious box of candy. You can't imagine how much my mates and I enjoyed it. I couldn't understand why I didn't get any mail today.

"Everything is about the same here. How are Sis and Billy? I suppose they are still going to school. This destroyer sure does rock and, boy, is it rocking now. I think it rocks more whenever I am catching up on my correspondence. Here's a cute poem, Mom: "TO MOTHER" Dear Mother, all the blueness of the sky Could never hold or hope to buy Your love so true.

Undimmed by. many years Of sacrifice, of patient smiles, the magic wrought time. The child outlived the adult sought. If empty hours will be the fate instead. To come, you need not watch, and Tho countless friends are made by men who roam.

In time they pass, and dwell in strange lands. Alone, but strongly one, the family stands To offer love within the "Peaceful Home." What difference if your hair turns white? Your kindness needs no pointing light! Loving you always, CIIAS. 11. RUGGS GLYNN BOIES ENTERS NAVY The following item, published in the Harbor Beacon, school paper of Costa Mesa, Calif, will be of interest to the Richland friends of Glynn Boies: "The Navy has once more dipped its hands into our depleted manpower stock, as Glynn Boies, Bob Dunlap, and Dave Hughes were called for training prior to foreign service. All three joined the Navy as Air Crew men and will receive their preliminary training in Tennessee.

"Boies, one of the most popular prexys this school nas ever Known, was an outstanding student. He not only achieved honors scholastically but in many other fields. He was sentries to guard huge storage areas at the docks and for guards to ac company train convoys. In addition to being a personnel center, the Plans and Liaison section also is responsible for the continual training of the men, the units constantly getting refresher courses in basic infantry training. Though members of non-fighting units, men in this port are keeping fit and trained for any eventuality.

J. in I "America Experiencing World Miracles Ahead" was the subject of a most interesting discussion when members of the Alto Cultural Club met Tuesday afternoon in the home of Mrs. A. Ball. Mrs.

Lovie D. McCoy, program leader, introduced Mrs. D. R. Sartor, who spoke on Cancer.

Mrs. Sartor said, part: "Cancer can be cured. Always it has been a frightening, fearsome word. Today, after hundreds of years of study, medical science knows a great deal about cancer and how it can be cured. Even if medical knowledge were frozen at the present stage and no new facts discovered, 30 to 50 per cent of all types could be cured.

Our doctors and scientists are constantly forging ahead, discovering new things about cancer. "The most important thing in combating cancer is for the public to be awake to the early symptoms. The difference between one week arid six weeks may be the difference between life and death. "Cancer is not a germ. It is not infectious, nor contagious.

Cancer is usually caused by steady, persistent irritation. "There are three reliable methods of treating cancer. They are surgery, X-ray and radium, used separately or in combination. The greatest single immediate step that can be taken to cope with cancer is close cooperation between the doctor and the individual. "It is clear that the American cancer society need3 every cent you can spare to spread knowledge and pro- mote research" "The Miracle of Housing In the Fu-1 ture" was brought clearly into our minds by Mrs.

E. E. Thomason, who said in part: "Some day in the future you will drive over to see a friend. As your car turns into the drive your head- lights activate electronic cells which rings the door bell and opens the front door. Your hostess calls from the kitchen that she is cooking dinner, feeding the baby and washing, simultaneously.

She has seen you approach by television. You stop to finger the porch furniture to determine the upholstery. You find that it is one of several new shrink-proof, sunproof, rain-proof, insect-proof fabrics. The more it is rained on the cleaner it is. "You go into the living room and locate the frequency modulation radio television set and turn it on to read the evening paper.

You go to a window, lean on it. It bends. You jump back. Then you know it is the magically tough glass which will twist 20 degrees without even cracking. You find a locker in the kitchen filled with frozen, cooked foods.

On a shelf you find cream that whips itself. You eat your dinner at a table laid with flame-proof cloth on a scuff-proof table set with plastic dishes, surrounded by plastic forks, spoons, and plastic- handled knives." Mrs. E. E. Thomason sang beauti fully "That's An Irish Lullaby, accompanied by Mrs.

C. Noble Hatch at the piano. Following the business meeting de licious refreshments were served the club members and our guest, Mrs. Everette McCoy.
