Some of the children in our
room wrote the following poems;
Pretty Spring
Spring, happy spring,
Birds will sing—fit for a king
Flowers bloom all in the gloom.
Bells will ring—while children
sing,
Warm winds blow — Everything
will grow
That’s why I love spring so.

final destination by a fellow
serviceman of his own rank.
#Approximately 65 to 170 per
cent of the war dead to be re
turned to America will pass
through the New York port of
embarkation, and more than
16,000 have been brought back
here since last Oct. 15.
There is a slogan in the army:
“Never volunteer.” But more
than 400 servicemen have volun
teered for assignment as military
escorts for war dead passing
through distribution center, No.
1, a quartermaster installation
at the embarkation port here. It
has the duty of returning war
dead in the metropolitan area.
Most escorts are combat vet
erans themselves—like, First Sgt.
Bernard Tobin 28, of Cortland,
N. Y, an ack ack gunner in the
Battle of the Bulge. Or Tech
Sgt. Robert Joralemon, 26, a B-17
radio operator from Elmira, N.
Y., who made thirfy-five mis
sions over Europe. Or Marine
Staff Sgt. Arthur H. Gruenberg,
26, of Denver, Colo., who was
captured en Corregidor and spent
3 1-2 years in Jap prison camps.
All are given a training course
before they begin the task of
escorting the dead heroes to
their families. :
“It's a sad duty,” said Sgt.
Tobin, “and your first mission
about breaks you to pieces.
“But the family usually wants
to take us right into their home
until the services are over. They
try to make us feel like we are
their own sons, and the mothers
often say, ‘you look just like my
own boy.’
“A lot of them ask us to come
back and spend our next leave
with them,” said Joralemon.
Escorts who saw combat fhem=
selves are particularly sensitive
to the dignity of' their missions.
They feel that except for the
way their luck went on the bat
tlefield they might themselves
be among the silent passengers
now making the long jqurney
home.
“I have been very fortunate,”
said Sgt. Gruenberg, a slimy
quiet man who was only 20 when
the Japs took him, ‘I feel it is
a real honor to take home men
who died for this country -we
cherish,” #
He said it very simply.
Only one escort has asked to
be relieved."He is a Sergeant in
his late forties who was assigned
to army camps in this country
during the war.
“It wasn’t my fault I didn’t
get overseas,” he said. “But I
couldn’t stand the look in the
eyes of parents of the dead boys
when they asked me if I'd serv
ed with their sons.”
One embarrassing feature of
the assignment is that relatives
try to force money gifts on the
escorts to show their gratitude.
“When we refuse, they try to
slip it in our pockets,” said To
bin.
One father tried to give an es
cort SIOO. An elderly Polishk
woman took $1.75 from her
purse—all she had in it—and
pleaded with the escort who had
