Writes Mother
From England
England 10 August, ’44.
Deaj: Mom:
I get your late letters be-
fore the early ones and I’m
always mixed up with what’s
happening. For instance, to-
day I got one of July 20 and
yesterday one of the 28th, so
you can see what I mean.
When I get them all I’m able
to piece them together as
they’re supposed to go. Any-
how, they’re precious to me
even if they are a year late.
Yes, I suppose I got along
better than ordinary with
my appendectomy. It hasn’t
been a month yet since I had
my operation and I’ve had a
seven-day furlough and have
been back at work for a
week. I’m feeling fine now
and enjoying life to the ut-
most. This I can attribute
to the army’s medical .sur-
gery, which is bound to be
the best in the world. The
army surgeons are perform-
ing miracles on the battle-
damaged men from Nor-
mandy. I saw plenty of ’em
in the hospital. This fellow
I was telling you about from
Paris was wounded at the
front. He had skin grafted
from his leg to a hole in his
back. He was as good as
new when I last saw him. I
can’t tell you all the wonders
I saw; I can just* say, it is
amazing — un believable —
A weekend rain brought what they are doing. They
relief from a sweltering tem-
perature. On Thursday night
of last week the rainfall
amounted to 2.38 inches and
Saturday an additional fall
of .90 of an inch was record-
ed by the government gauge
at the home of R. M. Mc-
Cleary. Vegetation was be-
ing parched by the extreme
heat, as the last rain of .any
amount fell on July 12, the
registration being one inch
During the period Horn July
12 to August 24, Only a trace
of precipitation was record-
ed, .19 of an inch.
Thanks
I take this means to ex-
press my appreciation for
the vote received in Satur-
day’s primary. Although I
was not a candidate, I re-
ceived a vote of which I was
really proud and I want to
thank you.

Mom, I promised to tell
you about Scotland. I saw so
much I hardly know where
to start. I might as well tell
you all I can about Edin-
burgh first. Edinburgh is
the cultural center of Scot-
land and' is probably farther-
est advanced in the fine arts
of any place in the British
Isles. It is set in rugged
country—very sharp hills or
mountains in the southern
end of the farmed Scottish
Highlands. The city itself is
built around the Edinburgh
Castle. The castle is the old-
est building and was once the
principal stronghold of Scot-
land. It’s built on top of an
almost perpendicular hill and
in olden days could hold off
an army indefinitely. Now it
is a tourist “must” and is
filled with ancient weapons
of war and culture. These
people, being a war-like peo-
ple all through the ages,

cherish all these things as
evidence of advance. From
the castle you can look all
over the city and on a clear
day see Loch 'Lamond and
the Forth Bridge. I could
write in a lot of things here
that would mean nothing but
I’ll stick to the high points.
Looking down from the cas-
tle you see the gardens and a
more beautiful sight I have
yet to see.
These people also like to
honor their heroes and fa-
mous people. They have a
monument to every one of
any importance. Some of the
more famous Scots who have
memorials here are Sir Wal-
ter Scott, Aelxander Graham
Bell, Robert Burns, and oth-
ers too numerous to name
There’s even a monument io
Abe Lincoln, Everywhere
you turn you see a statue or
monument.
Now something about the
people. They are quite like
us in everything except lan-
guage. They have amuse-
ments, habits and reactions
to general environments as
ours. Oh, I love to hear ’em
talk. I could never learn to
talk as they d'o but it is beau-
tiful, Now I know where
most redheads originated —
in Scotland. I like Edinburgh
so well that I had rather live
there than any place other
than the United States that
I have been in.

Wm. P. Jordan of
Windora Helps
Take Guam Island
Guam. — Marine Private
First Class William P. Jor-
dan of Windom, Texas, has
made the American re-taking
of Guam complete.
Jordan found, in a house
near Agana on Guam, a large
Marine Corps serving platter,
evidently confiscated by the
Japanese when they over-
whelmed the small garrison
on the island in December,
1941. The heavy, plain while
dish with USMC stamped in
blue on the back now is back
where it belongs. Jordan
turned it over to the mess
sregeant of his outfit.
Following is a letter to his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. LI.
Jordan;
Dear Folks: As you know
by now the Third Marine Di-
vision are “taking” Guam;
and we are doing a pretty
job of it so far and intend to
continue. This is the first
tune the Marines have landed
and have been able to tell
where we were at the time
(I think).
As for my health, I am
feeling pretty well, only'have
a slight cold, but have not
lost much weight. Just tired
is all. but everyone is tired
here though. Everyone seems
to be taking it pretty well—■
I would say mighty well.
How long did John Earl
Locke Stay at home on fur-
lough? I will be glad to get
back (when I do) and get a
furlough, but don’t know
when that will be.

Dearest Mother and Dad:
This little poem seems to
fit into things just perfect,
so I am sending it to you:
Last night as I watched
the sunset, and the dark
cloud over the sea, I couldn’t
help feeling your presence;
for you stood in the twilight
with me. Great is the dis-
tance between us, we‘re sel-
dom together ’tis true; yet
here in my heart is that feel-
ing, the nearness, the close-
ness of you. Someimes when
I am feeling sad and lone-
some, discouraged and feel-
ing low, it’s then that I know
you are present; you’re near
me wherever I go.
Until you hear from me
again, Your son,
Buddy.

Landlords, who can prove
that they have suffered
hardship under the control
program, now may have
their rent adjusted through
the stabilization act, Howard
Lovellette, area rent director
Grayson-Fannin county, an-
nounced Monday.
Hurdles to adjustment are
proof that the landlord has
suffered a substantial de-
crease in net income and
that a substantial and un-
avoidable increase in prop-
erty taxes or operating cost
also has occurred.
Effective under the stabil-
ization extension act of 1944,
the OP A rent regulation
amedment requires that the
property must have been un-
der rent control for at least
twelve months, and it rules
out housing accommodations
which were rented for the
first time after the maximum
rent date for a particular
area, Lovellette said.
The basis for determining
whether the hardship war-
rants adjustment will be in
general that no decrease in
net income or increase in
costs will be considered sub-
stantial unless it amounts to
at least 5 per cent of the
scheduled yearly maximum
rent for the property, the
rent executive said.
“Net income before inter-
est and current operating-
costs will be compared with
those of a representative
period prior to the maximum
rent date, usually three years
prior,” Lovellette said ‘ How-
ever, wherever it is impos-
sible for the landlord to pro-
duce information for the en-
tire three - year period, a
shorter period may be ac-
cepted after consultation.”

WEEVILS
WON’T WAIT
BOLL WEEVILS and other cotton pests are
venient for you to go to town to get a supply
They won’t sit around and wait until it’s con-
hungry, impatient critters,
of poison. They’ll just go on eating, and you’ll
pay the board bill for them.
HAVE INSECTICIDES ON HAND
Keeping ahead of the game by having a sup-
ply of poisons on hand before they’re needed
is one of the first rules of effective control of
cotton pests.
Then, as soon as the insects start to work,
you’ll be ready to strike quickly and effec-
tively and prevent costly loses in your cotton
crop.
“LAY IN” YOUR SUPPLY NOW
Our office is anxious to help you with a sup-
ply of high-quality, low-cost insecticides—to
meet the recommendations of our County
Agent for controlling Cotton Insects. Get
your supply today!
