Transporting these folks will tax train facil-
ities to the utmost. So we are asking the civilian
population to refrain from traveling by train,
particularly from December 15th to Janu-
ary 15 th, unless absolutely necessary. There just
isn’t enough equipment to serve everybody.
Maybe later on yo,u can go if you must—while
the fighting forces’ are chopping the Axis down.

This poem, written by a fellow
soldier of Eugene Reneau, son of
Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Reneau of Ker-
mit who is now in the Army Medi-
cal Corps somewhere in England,
expresses a lot. It is entitled “Sol-
diers Overseas:”
Can’t write a thing, the censor’s
to blame,
Just say I’m well and sign my
name.
Can’t say where we sail from,
can’t mention the date
And can’t even number the meals
I’ve ate.
Can’t tell where we’re going,
don’t know where we’ll land,
Couldn’t inform you if met by a
band.
Can’t mention the weather, can’t
say if there’s rain
All military secrets must secrets
remain.
Can’t have a flashlight to guide
me at night,
Can’t smoke either, except out
of sight.
Can’t keep a diary, for such
a sin,
Can’t keep the envelopes
letters come in.
Can’t say for sure,
what I can write,
So I’ll call this my letter
close with good night.

That doesn’t mean that I
vocate an end to criticism of
war effort, because our nation has
always been stronger for criticism,
even though the apparent effect
would be to weaken us.
But there is no. use carping over
the measures taken to keep infla-
tion suppressed, to spread the
of scarce commodities, and
forth.
about sacrifices at home — even
about gas rationing—but the few
I have heard led me usually to
think either of the British and
Russians, who have really suffered
the ravages of war, or our fight-
ing men, who have given up all that
they cherish in life.
In the face of the examples set
by those who give up their lives to
protect the ones left back home,
how can we complain?
Back to criticism of the war ef-
fort—Hitler has made some big
mistakes, the biggest being his in-
vasion of Russia. Who can say how
it might have changed the course
of this war, in Germany’s favor, i
if Hitler had an aroused, intelli- j
gent opposition in Germany?

Traditional carol singing as well
as presentation of Handel’s, “Mes-
siah” are scheduled to take the
leading places in the University of
Texas’ Christmas celebration this
year.
Students will be dismissed for
the holidays on Dec. 17, almost two
weeks before Christmas Day. But
the usual pre-Christmas observan-
ces will be held, anyway. The Uni-
versity Singers, 150 strong, are to
present their annual oratorio, this
year the “Messiah”. The Singers
will also lead the all-University
carol-singing.
Among the students in the Sing-
ers is Robert Ayres of Kermit.
