The following poem was sent
by Pfc. Rudy J. Zboril, who is
stationed in New Guinea, and
who dedicates it to his small
daughter:
Away from home and loved
ones,
Between us deep blue water;
Each day my thoughts go
home to you,
My little darling daughter.
But I must fight to keep you
free,
And all that I hold dear.
Yet how I long to see you
now,
Just in your second year.
Your eyes are like American
skies,
Your hair like ripened wheat,
I’d like to hear your merry
tongue,
It’s girlish sound so sweet.
May din of war stay far from
you,
God guard you night and
day,
And save my little darling,
For the daddy who’s away.

, MANCHESTER, IOWA — The
Ralph Childs farm family, near
here, has received the first of the
Rural Electrification Administra-
tion’s national awards “for distin-
guished service in food production
through use of electric power”.
This family -increased pork, poul-
try and dairy production and cul-
tivated 312 acres of land with less
help than before, the Additional
work being done by electrical
equipment, which replaces two
men, Mr. Childs said. Electrified
equipment on the Childs farm in-
cludes a milking machine, water
pump, running water in the’barns,’
chick brooder, grinder and fanning
mill, feed elevator and chopper and
many others. Above is Miss Lucille

tle, as against 18 before the farm
was electrified. Miss Childs is just
-ntering training for the Army
se‘s Corps.

Somewhere in the South Pacific
Dear Sir:
Thought as an old admirer of
the Sealy News, I would write
you a few lines. I am receiving
the News out here through the
compliments of my grandad,
John Wittenburg. It gives a fel-
low a chance to find out how
and where some of the old
friends and schoolmates are. I
expect most of them are also in
the service now.
I have been overseas for
eigh months now, and in the
service twenty months. We
were at Guadacanal and also
participated in the New Geor-
gia campaign. We had to lead a
pretty rugged life at Munda.
Dodging To jo’s bombs during
the night, and watching him
straf during the day time. The
old fox-hole was and still is our
best friend out here. We are in
another campaign now, but of
course I can’t mention where.
We left the good old states in
June of ’43. We were thirty
days enroute, before we arrived
at New Caledonia. We had a
pleasant but tedious journey. It
sure was a sad sight to see the
golden gate fade out of view.
I am motor sergeant of this
unit, and am in charge of the
transportation section. Have
quite a job on my hands, for
climatic conditions are hard on
vehicles.
Will be very glad to get out
of the South Pacific and back
home again. For, to me, it isn’t
as beautiful as. stories and mo-
vies used to make it seem.
Will close now, and thank you
again for making it possible to
send The News such a great
distance. We appreciate it very
much. Best wishes.
Sincerely yours,
S/Sgt. Ennis J. Pless

WHAT THE
SPIRITUALS MEAN
Marian Anderson has achiev-
ed an enviable position in the
field of music. She has done it
largely by riding the shoulders
of the Negro spirituals. Before
her, in that field, was Roland
Hayes. . . .
Those spirituals! They are
nothing to be despised. They
are the most remarkable
achievement in the history of
the universe. They were impro-
vised by unlettered persons, by
those who had no knowledge of
any rules of art to follow. They
are more characteristically the
soul of the Negro than any-
thing that is recorded.
For the Negro has traversed
successfully the Valley of Des-
pair. His faith was in God and
his star was the star that led
the Magi to the manger where
the Christ Child lay. The spiri-
tuals are to him as the Psalms
were to the Hebrews.—Chicago
