In answer to her letters Ferol has' been receiving many very appreciative letters who encourage her to keep up her good work. -One such letter we take pleasure in printing: "Dear Ferol: "I appreciated your nice letter, much. It is good to know that you and your friends at school are doing so much to help us beat the Japs and the Nazis. Just think, the very life raft that you bought may easily have been the one that saved my life and the lives of my crew when we crash-landed our Flying_Fortress in the North Sea. Keep up the good'work! Keep buying war stamps and "collecting paper, raising calves and food on yoflr farm and before you know it we'll have this war Won. And when it has been won you will know that you, yourself, as well as your friends and family, have done your part. That's what we hope to see when we come home from overseas. We want, to know that all the people of this country of ours are doing their part, that* though they; may not be able to fight they will do whatever they are best fitted to do, whfether it be buying War bonds and stamps or collecting paper or fats. Whatever you can do, do it, with the knowledge that you, too, are fighting in this war against all the evils of the world. WSth girls like you, Ferol, and schools like yours, we cannot fail to win the inevitable Victory. Sincerely; WILLIAM E. PETERS, JR., Atlantic City, NIY. WEN WAR WORKERS ROTNOUR PLAYERS.

RED CROSS NOTES ' J . Red Cross members of McHenry j answered our appeal for g i f t s for servicemen in their usual generous manner. However, we should like very much to especially emphasize the generousness of the Hospital Recreation group. • Mrs. Durland. chairman of this group in McHenry. reports that 80 per cent of the membership donated to the servicemen in Camp Grant hospital. * Mrs. Axtel, county chairman of hospital recreation activities, wishes to personally thank each and everyone of the young ladies in McHenry wl^o have aided her during the past year. Mrs. Durland reports that he girls have been very faithful in attending to their 1 duties. A group of the girls journey ed to Camp Grant last Sunday evening &nd contributed to the holiday • The last of girls ready to answer calls for wprk in this department from McHenry, . now totals thrty-five. If arty young ladies eighteen years or Over Wish to affiliate themselves in ths worthy cause; please call Mrs. Durland,, 229-J, as she can accept calls now at anytime of the day | or evenng. j Dorothy Heuser, one of our town's well known ydung ladies, according to reports from several Red Cross j circles, deserves very special mention I in this column for the fine work she 1 has done in Red Cross circles. She has been app^nted by the Hospital Recreation group to bring back the messages from the hospital at Camp , Grant. Miss Heuser has not missed j very many opportunities to bring cheering words to the ailing inr the I hospital. This week she reports that i the hoys wish to thank the donors j of Christmas gifts. Other young i ladles who traveled in this busy seaj son to bring Christmas cheer to the j boys are Grace Kunz, Mary Simon, Louise Walsh, Lenore Frisby, Amy ' Harrison, Alice Mae Low, Lorraine ' Schaeffer, Lucille Wteingart, Juartita ' Willets, Jean Schmitt, Eleanor Reid, j Loretta Jklej^ers, Dorothy Heuser and ' Minnie Green" I This week, when 1943 is almost; ! past and 1944 is almost a reality, we 1 are confident that the courage manifested during the last year will con- ' tinue, and we all have faith to see i the light even in the darkness. Our ! President has delivered facts which j we must and will accept as a challenge rather than a source of des- | pair, in spite of what our enemies would try to make us believe. To I prove it, we have resolved to work j | harder than ever, and cur New Year's j 1 resolution is to put forth effort . greater than ever to do our part on I the home front. j Among the Sick j Read the Wani Ads!
