' By way of ThePlaindealer I see that froffi"home are, literally over the face of the the fellows ""scattered all earth." I have been rather lucky in being able to stay not too far from home and getting a furlough rather early in my army career. HoweveT, in the last few months civilians and limited service men have begun to take over most of the jobs of administration on the post, and so I am ready to pack my barrack's bag oh short notice. *' I am a member of the army air forces, but as yet haven't, seen an air- "VIOTORY SERVICE LEAGUE" ORGANIZED ftt TO SAVE OUR CARS A new national alliance of American motorists, patriotically dedicated to preservation of the civilian transportation system of the country, has been founded under the sponsorship of the Chevrolet Motor Division and the 8,000 dealers who handle its products from coast to coast, William E. Holler, general sales manager of Chevrolet, announced in Detroit last week. Title i 6f the new organization is the Victory Service League and its aim is Service for Vctory to "save the Wheels that Serve America." Organized primarily to assure con- i servation of privately-owned cars and trucks, the League also irf pledged to throw the weight of its membership behind all national war drives, such as the collection of scrap rubber and metals, war bond drives, etc., according to Mr. Holler. The 27,000,000 car owners and 5,000,000 truck operators in the country will be eligible for membership in this new national organization.

With each rising sun she and her students prayed, asking whether they should stay or start" for some bofnb-free place, wherever that might be.» The answer seemed to be: Stay! And they did, even though rice was short and there was only dirty water to drink. When, one day, the answer through prayer seemed to be changed to "Go!" she and six seminary students began the long hike to Foochow down the coast. On the way Japanese soldiers kept them for three days in a railway station without food or water. At Footchow she worked in a hospital, visiting the diseased and the wounded, leading chapfel for the doctors and nurses, holding prayer-meetings for the orderlies and teaching Bible hours for all. hold an informal discussion period at 7:30 a. m. at which time Miss Wang will answer questions asked of her concerning her work in China.
