“The Lttle camp that mothers

of poem read by Don McNeil on
the radio Friday, Oct. 13.
Thursday, Oct. 12, headlines:
’Teen-age girls being sent home
from Washington to homes of par
ents.”
“Parents”—One on night shift
one on day here in Summerville
neither know or care much where
or what their children are.
Patriotism disguised into earn
ing money while little children try
to make out at home on cold corn
bread and coffee or possibly a lit
tle soured buttermilk.
The children from these homes
are the major problem in our
schools and are fast joining the
juvenile delinquency of our na
tion. The wonder is that no one
can see that for lack of a mother
a home was lost, for lack of a home
the children were lost. For lack
of children the nation is lost.

STUDY
“Study to show thyself approved
unto God, a workman that needeth
not be ashamed rightly dividing the
word of truth.”
Study is the act or process of ac
quiring by one’s own efforts, knowl
edge or information of a particular
branch of learning that is studied;
any object of attentive studying.
Knowledge is obtained by study
only. Study will help one to devel
op one’s mind.
Concentration and organization
are helpful when studying. If one
does not concentrate, little is to be
gained.
Study can become a pleasure to
any one who is deeply interested
in the subject. If the person is in
terested, it ceases to be work. Study
is nov work ±or every one, but some
people cannot learn easily, while
learning is easy for. others. If one
wants to learn, it can become easy
for them.
There are many helpful books
which can be used in studying; and
each student should learn to use
them along with his textbook.
One should study to know what
to do and what not to do.
Study what you read, understand
it, and thus make learning easier
and more pleasant.

Who left to fight
The Jap or Hun,
Who left to fight
Until victory is won,
Summerville Navy men, we honor
you.
Some may come home as heroes;
some may not;
But we want you to know,
Hero or not,
We still will welcome you,
For you were of the many unsung
heroes
Without a medal,
Without glory.
Just the right to fight is all you
ask for.

To the coast of France,

E American Communities are
Served by Greyhound Lines
Does it surprise you to know that 6500 American communities are served by
Greyhound Lines ... in other words, your neighbors? Well, it's true—and
furthermore these cities and towns are spread throughout the length and breadth
of our great land.
GREYHOUND is happy to share in a giant transportation system that has
helped to knit a closer union of our youthful nation. While we strive today to
meet the demands of America at war, we want you to know that we are busy
at the same time planning for your greater travel pleasure and profit in a post
war tomorrow —planning to bring you transportation advancements that reflect
the vision and resourcefulness of Greyhound.
Ours is certain to be a still more wonderful land to live in when peace comes.
And your good neighbor of tomorrow may be just across the back fence—or
via Greyhound, just across the continent
* WHEN YOU TRAVEL... Be sure to put identification stickers or tags on your baggage'
to avoid delay or 1055... Stickers and tags are available at all Greyhound bus depots.
