Russian armies are cutting Ger-
mans from vital sources of coal,
iron, ore, coke, from vital war in-
dustries in Silesia, from food in
East Prussia, Poland . . . Hitler
ordered German commanders on
the Eastern Front to scorch every
inch of German soil they abandon
. . . Hitler has started court-mar-
tialing German generals for fail
■ing to stiop the Russian advance
. . . 300,000 trucks, jeeps, half-
tracks, those 11,000 U. S. air-
planes that U. S. industry turned
out for Russia are paying big
dividends ... A late report states
that between 120,000 and 130,000,
Frenchmen are believed to have
been executed or slain in cold
blood by the Germans during four
years of occupation. The exact
figure probably never will be
known . . . Elephants "wired for
sound" are said to be used to
salvage crash-landed airplanes in

full colonel in the Jap army is
said to receive approximately the
same pay as a Sergeant in the
United States Army . . . Reports
are that Gestapo Chief Himmler
has arrested or sent to the rear
one marshal, six generals and 240
other officers from the Eastern
Front command who were suspect
ed of sympathizing with the Free
Germany Committee in Moscow.

14. Q. Are. dependents of war
veterans entitled to preference for
Civil Service positions?
A. Certain preference for posi-
tions in Civil Service are given
wives and widows of disabled vet-
erans.
15. Q. Will the Government
furnish headstones for veterans?
A. Headstones arc; furnisned
without charge. Application should
be made to the Quartermaster
General, War Department, Wash-
ington, D. C.
16. Q. How much postage is re-
quired on an airmail letter to a
serviceman
A. Only six cents is required
for an airmail letter if a service-
man has an APO number that is
outside of this country.
IT Q. Is .it possible for a widow
ed mother to receive an allowance
from two sons in the' service ?
A. A mother with two sons in
service may have a family allow-
ance from each son, provided she
is dependent upon both of them
for at least a substantial por-
tion of her support, and that each
son desires to apply for a family
allowance on her behalf. The a-
mount drawn from each w;ould be
$37 a month—$22 would be taken
from each son's pay, the balance
contributed by the Goverment.
Each son would have to apply for
the allowance and the mother
would have to furnish a depend-
ency certificate for each one tiO
attach to his application.
In Memory of Audrey
Graves Smith
I
Had you ever thought how a
rose bush was hurt,
When you plucked a bud from
its bough ?
And how the water flowed from
its heart,
Just to give beauty to Thou?
II
And that you ever thought what
comfort they brought,
To a heart that was all broken
and sad ?
They are like a drink of cool
water from the fountain of Life
That maketh a thirsty soul glad.
III
And so we all have roses in our
Gardens of love—
That was planted by our dear
master's hand,
And when God gets ready to
decorate, he picks out the
Purest and prettiest you know
For his place up there in that
Land.
IV
And when we gather our
boquet of roses
We weave in a bud
here and there,
Altho the bush has a large
family of buds.
It just dosn't seem to have
any to spare.
—Composed by Mrs. Vernon II.
Culliver, Hot Springs, Ark.,
"Blessed are the pure in heart
for they shall see God."

Salt has been marshalled to serve our nation at war.
In war or in peace, salt is essential to the health and
vigor of a nation's people. In World War II, count-
less new uses for salt have been found in the making
of synthetic rubber, chemicals, dyes, etc.
Salt is a vital ally in war. Life-saving salt is used in
plasma, dressings for wounds, and dousing fire bombs
in battle areas.
Salt is serving the homefront, too, in the preservation
of foods, in the making of innumerable articles for
war and civilian use.
From the salt mines to consumer, The Texas and
Pacific serves the Salt Industry. We salute this great
industry—we are proud to serve them.
