Letter From Pvt.
Clarence Sternadel
The following letter was re-
cently received by Mr. and Mrs.
Ernest Sternadel from their son
Clarence who is now stationed in
North Dakota.
Dearest parents and all:
Guess you have kinda worried
because I have not written but
so far I am allright. We are
new on maneuvers in the state
player from Texas who was in
the starting line-up for the All
Stars who defeated the Red Skins
to the tune of 27 to 7. The game-
was played at Evanston, 111., and
was broadcast over the radio
through the National Broadcast-
ing system. Felix is a former
member of the Texas Aggie team.
Erwin Blaschke
Writes From Iran
August 10, 1943
Dear Chief Speckels and family:
I presume that you have given
ur we would be here for G weeks.
Then we will go back to Camp
Maxey.
We really did some traveling.
Went through eight states. We
Jleft Camp Maxey at 6 o'clock
Tuesday and arrived here at 7:00
o'clock Thursday morning. We
went from Texas to Oklahoma,
Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri,
Iowa, Minnesota and into North
Dakota. Really saw some pretty
country but still I like Texas the
best. We came through tunnels,
over large mountains, some of the
country was very pretty and some
of it was very poor. Of all of
up hope of ever hearing from me
again. I am sorry that I did not th~at' WV went "through
write any sooner but it was just
plain negligence on my part. In
the future I shall assure you that
it will not happen again.
Well, I arrived safe and
I like Iowa the best.
We will probably do lots of
traveling while we are here be-
cause the state of North Dakota
is full of soldiers and our job
sound and I'd say that we had .& ^ pkk up ^ wounded and
Stove Buyers Must
Secure Ration
Certificates
Houston District Office of Price
Administration today reminded
that all who wish to buy domes-
tic heating or cooking stoves de-
signed to burn any fuel but
electricity must present ration
certificates issued by the War
Price and Rationing Board.
A "time table" also is an-
nounced for instituting the new
stove rationing program which
became effective August 24. All
a fairly enjoyable trip. Some of
the countries were very scenic
and beautiful. For instance, New
Zealand was one that I enjoyed
the most of all, however, the
trip as a whole was very educa-
tional, but I would not give a
dime for another, if I ever hit
land again.
At the present time I am lo-
cated in Iran and I cannot say
that I like it. First of all, it is
too hot and another reason is that
there is not a thing that a fellow
ca^ get in the line of cold drinks,
etc. About all of the recreation
that we get is a free picture show
every other night. We do have
a radio and receive some of the
j programs that are rebroadcast
for "The Expeditionary Forces
Over Sea". All in all we manage
and live for the day when we can
return home.
I am feeling fine and hope
that this letter finds you and
yours the same. Sincerely,
Erwin.

Burning Up
carry them to civilian hospitals.
That means that we will travel
in our ambulance all over North
Dakota. It may be weeks before
I get another chance to write
i again so do not worry as every-
thing will be allright with me.
I really like it here as this is a
nice place and we are located
about two miles from town and
we are allowed to go to town
every night if we want to. I am
still staying in a tent but I may
be shipped from this place any
day. I hope not. My only trouble
it the cold weather. It is really
cold at night and in the morn-
ings and the days are just right.
This morning I put on my woolen
underwear and also my field
jacket and then I did not get
warm.
The people here are nice to us
soldiers. They buy all of the beer
and other kind of stuff we want.
If you wanted to, you could go
into a beer joint and get as
drunk as you like and it would
not cost you a cent. That must
be because there is not an army
j camp here, only a few small air-
ports and very few soldiers.

Former Jap Prisoner
Says Americans
Getting Food
We quote the item below be-
cause we realize that some of
the people in this area have loved
cres who are now in Japanese
prison camps.
Then too there may be others
who in the future may be cap-
tured and loved ones will won-
der what condition they will live
under.
With The Sick
And Injured
Mrs. Wm. Hajek is reported as
on the sick list this week.
Mrs. Henry Keuper is still ill
in bed.
Isy Schwartz is still in the
hospital in Houston and his con-
dition remains critical.
Born
Japanese prison camp atroci-
ties depend on the commanding
officer, Edwin A. White, a for-
mer Jap prisoner of war, said
at a meeting of the War Prison-
ers Aid "divison of the Young
Men's Christian Association Wed-j
r.esday night.
"No two Japanese are alike
and conditions in each camp will
be based upon the personality of
the commander in charge," White
said.
WJhite is a native of Mount
Pleasant, Titus County, and was,
attached to the United States
Consulate in Shanghai when the
Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor.
"Japanese, while they are not
humane," White stated, "are
not going to let any group starve j
to death.'
His consolation went to scores
of mothers, fathers, and wive
of men who are either missing
or have been announced as
prisoners of war. From question-
ing at the end of White's talk,
it was revealed that most of his
audience was composed of per-
sons with relatives in the hands
of the enemy.
Unless the prisoners aggra-
vate the Japanees guards, he
said, they are fairly well treated.
He expressed the belief that all
the prisoners are getting enough
food to survive and said that he
did not believe that diseases are
killing many of" the men because
Japanese are inherently sanitary.
The Kobe prison camp, the East
Texan said, is located in a pub-
lic park.
When the war is over, hun-
dreds and possibly thousands of
American fighters will come out
of the hills in the Philippines and
the Dutch East Indies, where they
went and are now fighting with
native and Filipino groups as
guerrillas, White said.
Fred Lange, executive secre-
tary of the War Chest, said
that a $12,000,000 fund has been
set aside for the Prisoners of
War Aid and Information Ex-
change by the national war fundj
iand that Dallas will pay its pro- j
rata shaVe out of the next |
campaign.
Wfiite was introduced by H. R..
Kuehne, director of the Dallas'
YMCA War Prisoners Aid and,
Information Exchange .
John Strobel, Rev. Kuretsch,
and a friend of Rev. Kuretsch
from Houston were fishing down

PRAYER
REST PERIOD
Many people have the false impression that a
hen needs a rest once a year. And to do this
they withhold their laying mash as soon as
they show signs of moulting.
When a hen is in her best physical condition
she is laying eggs, and to do this she needs a
good laying mash. And when she is moulting
you can't expect her to produce feathers and
eggs too and then take away the protein (lay-
ing mash) that helps her produce them. So
don't make this common mistake, provide
your hens with plenty DITTLINGER'S LAY-
ING MASH or PELLETS.

My two only sons have proudly
gone,
To fight for Liberty,
God, grant that I, who stay at
home,
May be as brave as they!
I would not ask Thee, Lord, to

Them safe, above others,
For Victory calls for sacrifice,
And all of them have Mothers.
But give nie strength to face
my cross,
And say, "Thy Will Be Done,"
As Mary did so long ago,
When she, too, gave her son!
