and

and soul in
Capt. and Mrs. Geo. M. Sharpe,
of Boca Raton, Fla., sent in their |
subscription for the Shackelford :
County Leader and also enclosed a
letter to the editor, which follows: '
Dear Mrs. Cady: i
We are surely enjoying this nice
Flwida sunshine. On Christmas
tlay we had a nice swim in the af-
ternoon. We are only two blocks
from the ocean, so I take my baby
clown almost daily for a swim and
the sunshine.
My mother, Mrs. Olin Elliott,
sent me copies of the Victory edi-
tion of the Leader. I must say it
was most enjoyable to read. It
was grand to find out all about the
eld school mates of mine. Believe
me, we all get awfully homesick
for Moran in our moving around
in different states. I would love
to be home now to see again all
the boys and girls who are return-
ing.
Most sincerely,
Oma Lea Elliott Sharpe.

ANDY ANDERSON
PASSES ON
Moran was shocked to hear of
the death on Wednesday morning
of E. L. Anderson, known as Andy,
55. He died at the Graham hos-
pital, Cisco, 2 a. m. Wednesday.
He had been ill only 12 days, cause
of death was paralysis.
The remains are at Thomas Fun-
eral Home, Cisco, and will be ship-
ped to his old home in Iowa. Many
old friends in Moran went to Cisco
to pay their last respects to an es-
teemed citizen, a good man who
will be greatly missed.
Andy was an oil man and had
made his home at the Brooks hotel
for the past 25 years. He had
many friends here. He had no rel-
atives in Moran. His body was
prepared for shipment on the Sun-
shine Special Wednesday morning
to his relatives in the East.
Cleo Evans, former newspaper
man, who has been overseas three
years, recently joined his family in
kirts gathered fullness unpressed Moran after his discharge from the 1
pleats, buttons down the front
briefer sleeves or none at all. Ma-
terials have been hard to obtain
but the cottons shown are lovelier
than in years. Moran ladies are
looking forward to our new dry
goods merchant coming in soon, as
he attended this market to buy the
latest in ready to wear.
Army. Mr. Evans has purchased
the Mineral Wells News and will
take up the business of publisher
in that city. The family will move
there this week. Mrs. Evans and
children have made their home in
Moran with her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Ben Pinnell during her hus-
band's absence.

A LETTER FROM ONE OF
HENRY DORSEY'S
BUDDIES TO HIS MOTHER
Dear Mrs. Dorsey:
Cpl. Henry Dorsey was under
my command and I had known
him before the war. We were in
the same unit, fought together»on
Bataan, in the same prison camp
at Cabanatuan, Philippines, until
sometime in July of 1944.
We boarded different ships for
Japan and were separated. There
we were only about 30 miles apart,
near Fukuoki on Kyushu the
southernmost island of the torn-up
Empire. While in P. I. prison
camp, Americans or rather our
parents were permitted to send
food parcels to prisoners of war in
P I. You may have sent him one,
but he did not get any. About half
the personnel received the parcels.
This went through because it went
through Geneva.
Henry, Bill Powers and I were
like brothers. Powers and I re-
ceived food parcels and all three
shared it equally. Had first de-
cent set up. Henry's weight about
180 at one time in P. I. I was
awful sorry to learn that he died
the day the hostilities ceased in
the Pacific and on his birthday.
When we found
was over, we really took over and
gave the Japs what was coming to
them. I thought that Bill Powers
might have written you a letter, if
he has I certainly would appreci-
ate if you would send me his ad-
dress.
I am wishing a happy and pros-
perous year of 1946 to you all. I
am your son's friend.
A Buddie.

CHRISTIAN CHURCH
Sunday school at 10:00 a. m.
every Sunday. La§t Sunday 31
were {/resent. Classes for all age
groups.
Morning worship every first and
third Sunday, Rev. Ray Tomlinson,
pastor.
BAPTIST CHURCH
Attendance in Sunday school
and Training Union has been grad-
ually climbing for the past two
Sundays, and we had 125 in Sun-
day school and 51 in Training Un-
ion last Sunday. This is a good
increase, and we hope it continues
to grow. Next Sunday morning
there will be a special attraction
for the morning worship hour. The
Life Service Band from Hardin-
Simmons University will take
charge of the service and bring a
special program. This band is
made up of young men and women
who have given their lives in the
service of the Lorci, and they will
bring a program well worth while.
Every one is invited to attend the
services and meet these young peo-
ple.
Sunday school—10:00 a. m.
Worship service—11:00 a. m.
Training Union—6:30 p. m.
Worship service—7:30 p. m.
The Junior adult Union will have
charge of the opening exercises in
Training Union, and a special invi-
tation is given to all young couples
to attend this Union.
Last Thursday night at the
monthly teachers and officers
workers conference, there were 22
present. Since we only have 29
workers, having a vacancy for two
places, this is an unusually good
average. There was an hour of
fellowship in which supper was
served and then there was an hour
of conference and planning. The
aim for this year, as adopted by
the workers, is to have a Standard
Sunday school for the year 1946.
We only lack a few points, and one
of them is trained workers; so be-
ginning next Wednesday night a
study course will be taught each
Wednesday night after prayer
meeting; this will keep us only a
short time longer and will give us
the necessary training that we
need.
G. A. Focus week begins this
Sunday night. Each Junior and
Intermediate G. A. is urged to be
at church Sunday night to sit in a
body and sing the G. A. song to
the church. Tuesday the Inter-
mediate girls will entertain the
Junior girls with a party, and
Wednesday night each girl of both
ages is asked to be at prayer meet-
ing for special recognition. Mon-
day afternoon will be used in the
regular weekly sessions.
ATTENTION ALL
GUARDSMEN!
On Sunday afternoon, February
24th, the big artillery truck of
Company C, will be lined up in
front of the armory to transport
members of the rifle tournament
to the range for target practice.
In order to qualify for this phase
of the exercise, you must register
at the sighting bar at the armory.
We will have two more drill nights
(12th and 19th) before going on
the range, so be in your place each
Tuesday night. Anyone having a
good bolt action .22 caliber rifle,
bring it along.
