Tbis one bits bad habits; for subscribers, at least some are habituai delinquents. 1 would not like to, be dropped off your list even though deserv- ing such a fate. I do not know just how many years ray name bas been on that list of subscrib- ers, but imagine it must be close to haif a century. Believe it or not, there is an element of sadness usually attach- ed now ta the opening of the week]y paper-for neariy every issue records the passing of an old friend or acquaintance. However morbidity is not one of the afflictions of Christian democrats. And anybow these days find us aIl too actively en- gaged in community and war work ta become despondent or cast down. Arn still holding down munici- pal activities and tbese bring many other tasks, particularly or- ganization work in connection witb Victory Loan drives, A.R.P., etc. We are now directly in the Dan- ger Zone in this part of tbe Paci- fic coast. Ail aliens are being removed, and many tbausands of Japs are being sent ta the other side of tbe Coast Range. This is making many econamic and social changes, as the Japanese were heavy producers of fruit, eggs, and f isb, for the Jap fisbing fleet on this coast numbered between 800 and a thousand. Air raid sirens are being in- stalled in this municîpality, and we are well organized in A.R.P. and Police work in case of a bombing raid. Thanks for the reminder of another duty in connection with your fine weekly editorials and local news. Best regards, so "Keep lem flying." Yours truly, W. C. Frank.
