Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Davidson have
just received an interesting letter
from their son, Walter, who is now
stationed in China with the U. S.
Marines.
The letter follows:
"The past week has been one full of
many memories for me. On Sunday
I made a trip to the Great Wall of
China, about 30 miles north of Peking.
It was a beautiful day and the entire
trip was pleasurable. About 250
Tientsin and Peking people were
along.
On Monday something most unusal
happened. Gladys, take a look at that
picture Ralph has of the Chinamun
whose body has been decapitated in
the streets of some Chinese city. When
you look at that picture you see ex-
actly what I saw here last Monday.
About 250,000 people attended this ex-
ecution. After the man was beheaded
three other prisoners were shot. I

The beheading was executed after a! I

500 years ago. An ordinary grain cut-1

were executed were guilty of mur-

Glendine Thompson, substitute.
Nantie threw three field throws,
