Max Martin Writes from
Jap Prison Camp
We have the following letter
written by Max H, Martin to
his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. H.
Martin, who now live in Semi-
nole. Oklahoma. The letter was
banded to The Press by Mrs.
R. L. Bryant of Pine Grove, a
sister of Mr. Martin’s. Max
will be remembered by many
Corrigan folks as it has not
been many years since he, with
liis parents, moved from this
section to Oklahoma. He join-
the Marines on June 10, 1941.
The letter reads:
Mrs. J. H. Martin,
Route 2,
Seminole, Oklahoma. USA.
Dear Mother, Dad. and home
folks: 1 am in Zontsuji War
Prison camp in Japan. We ar-
rived in Japan the 15th of Jan-
uary, 1942. 1 am getting along
0 K. Let all the kids know how
1 am and where 1 am. We go
out and work in the hills about
every other day and it makes
the time pass much faster now
than it did when we first got
here. It isn’t very hard work
but we couldn’t stand much
harder because we are not
physically able. There are
lots of things I would like you
to send me, but I know it
wouldn’t get here so there is
no use sending it. I will be glad
when the time comes for me
to return home, but until then,
don’t worry about me. 1 hope
botli of you are well. Love,
Max.

Your Retail Grocer____
MOST PEOPLE FAIL TO APPRECIATE WHAT A VITAL
ROLE IS THE RETAIL GROCER’S IN THESE DIFFICULT
TIMES. Actually, he is as essential to the Nation’s War effort
as the man at the Lathe, the Gunner in the Turret, the Pilot at
the Controls. In fact, without the Grocer the Nation’s Food
Supply would meet disaster.
America couldn’t get along without the Grocer and o n e of
the devices which enables the Grocer to operate smoothly and
efficiently is buying and selling at fair prices.
Most of the leading customers in this territory buy from Lar-
gent’s for this reason: We in the food supply line must pull to-
gether in these trying times; you can rest assured that Largent
will continue to sell you merchandise at rock bottom prices.
WHEN HOT AND THIRSTY REMEMBER WE
HAVE SOME KIND OF FROZEN SODA POP.

DID YOU KNOW?— That 25c would buy—
6 bags of any 5c Tobacco or 6 bars Laundry Soap
or 32 oz can of Clabber Girl Baking Powder or 6

'T'REES FURNISH employment for almost every
member of this community. Some work in the
forests . . . others in the mills, processing the
timber crop . . . other citizens rely for their liveli-
hood on the trade furnished by the people employed
by the forest products industries.
Burning trees hurt all of us. A blaze which con-
sumes growing timber may destroy the pay envelope
of every member of the community. Burned tree*
create no trade or employment.
Help keep fire out of the woods. If we work
together we can lick Forest Enemy Number 1.
