MRS. W. A. HARPER GETS
FIRST LETTER FROM NOLAN
Hello:
I know you would like to know
where I am. That I cannot tell but
I am about 4000 miles out of the
states. I've been hoping to see Jas
Henderson, Charles Hope Greene
or any of the other boys. I know
they are here some place. Col. Old
is here,too. He is in command of
an air force. I would like to locate
it. When this is over I would like
to fly back with him.
Say, how about writing mother
and tell her I will write as soon
as I have some stationery. Boy,
would I like to break open a wa-
termelon and grab the heart. I
know dad has ripe melons by now
It does not look like now I will
get to help dad in his crop this
year. Tell everybody Hello for me
and that I hope to be back before
I am bald-headed.

CARL ENGLISH WRITES
THE WILL WHITWORTHS
July 7, 1943
Dear Grandmother and Dad:
I received your letter Sunday. I
was really glad to hear from you.
I am still well and working hard.
We have lots of hard work ahead
of us. Well I have moved few thou
sand miles more from home. I real
ly like here. We are getting plenty
to eat and plenty to wear. I like
to have froze to death the first
night I landed here. I had two
wool blankets and then liked to
have frozen. Everything is just
lovely now.
I won't get to return to the
States soon. You see I am going
the other way. I wish I could get
to come in to see Bertha and the
children but I can't.
I am proud to get the clippings.
Bertha said she was sending me
the Journal. She is subscribing for
it for me. I don't know when I
will get it though. I do hope you
all have gotten that rain by now.
I hope every one makes a good
crop. We really can use food in
winning this awful war. I hate
to hear Norman having so much
bad luck. When it rains, it pours.
I got to go fishing, Sunday. We
really had lots of fun. We caught
eight and they would have aver-
aged 20 pounds each. I am hop-
ing to get to go again soon. I have
received a promotion and a raise
in pay. I sure was glad to get it.
It will mean over $200 a month
more and can I use it?
We have plenty of mountain
goats and seals here. The seals try
to play with us when we get 3-
B. F. Goodrich Now Offers For Sale The
OUT SYNTHETIC TIRE
BACKED BY
80,000,000
EISLE MM YES?
Three years ago car owners started the greatest road test
in history, driving thousands of Silvertowns (made with
AmeripoD. That's why you can have the utmost confidence in
our all-synthetic tire of today — the 1943 Ameripol Silvertown.
SYNTHETIC tires will differ even more
than natural rubber tires did. So it's only
common driving sense to buy a tire that is
backed by real testing — not just in labora-
tories— not just on a manufacturer's prov-
ing grounds —but in actual nation-wide road
tests! And we carry the only synthetic tire
which can claim this, the B. F. Goodrich.
Silvertown.
Almost three years ago — B. F. Goodrich sold
Silvertowns — in which more than half the
rubber was synthetic — to hundreds of lead-
ing companies and private car owners. To
date these Silvertowns have gone more than
80,000,000 miles. "At least as good as natural
rubber tires" was the opinion of most who
bought them. Remember this! And if you're
eligible for new tires, see us at once I

There still is a critical rubber shortage.
Most synthetic rubber is needed for
vital war requirements. Every Ameri-
can must continue to conserve rubber!
Follow the five basic rules of tire con-
servation from the Office of the llubber
Director:
1 Drive only when absolutely
'■ necessary.
Lm Keep under 35 miles per hour.
3 Keep your- tires properly in-
■ flated.
4 Have them inspected regu-
' larly.
5. Share your car with others.

fact it is still in its initial stage.

Courtland Closes Old
Fashioned Revival
Courtland Baptist church clos-
ed one of the best revivals we have
ever had at the old Courtland
church. Nineteen were baptized on
Sunday evening at the beautiful
pond of Tom Allen's. It was in-
deed a beautiful scene to see this
number of fine fathers, mothers,
sons and daughters go down in the
liquid grave with a smile on their
face and peace of God in their
heart.
This revival was an old fash-
ioned one. All denominations came
together for one purpose—to seek
the lost and bring them to Christ.
There were five different faiths
represented but all for one pur-
pose. We thank each one for ev-
ery effort that helped to make this
revival one that will be long re-
membered by every one. We ex
pressly thank the good Methodist
people of Courtland and Quefen
City for their 100 per cent co-
operation.
This great revival could not
have been what it was without the
full cooperation of both churches.
We thank Bro. Frank Griffin and
Bro. Penn of Atlanta, for their
pretence and prayers at the Sun-

■day service. Indeed, this was an
old time revival. All faiths came
together for one purpose. Thank
God our Courtland and Queen City

tred and strife and come together
in one place for one purpose in the
unity that God commanded and
still have an old fashioned Pent-
ecostal out pouring of the Holy
spirit, there was plenty of shout-
ing from the first of the meeting
to the last service. One grand-
mother had six grand children
saved and baptised, yes thas was
enough to make any grand mother
shout praises to God. Another fa-
mily there was a mother and three
of her sons saved and baptised.
Brother Grady Thompson the
pastor did all of the preaching
throughout the meeting. There was
nineteen baptised by letter two by
statement, there has been seventy
eight additions to the church in
the three years. Brother Grady
