SNE i .on Saturday by the soldier whom THE SAFETY VALVE Dear Howard, Apropos your recent front-page spread, “Only One Bomber Was Lost”, I am enclosing a poem which I wrote some time ago, one writ- ten on the same subject. [ I called it THE VICTORY My heart was in that one lost plane. Once more in paralyzing pain, As on that day when he was torn From living flesh, my son is born To me - I yield him up again. Be thine, Oh monstrous God of Wars, the glory,- Mine, The road to calvary, The cruel crown of thorn. Mrs. T. M.-B. H. Soldier's Apparel Dear Editor: I am enclosing a tie and some insignia which belong to a soldier from Dallas who is on furlough. He is in the Air Corp and is sta- tioned at some camp outside of Miami and is due back on the 18th of this month. This material was left in my car I picked up on the corner of Union and Wyoming Ave. Kingston and gave a ride as far as Dallas. I do not know the boy's name but I am quite sure he had red hair and he gave me the above information during the ride. You no doubt have the names of the boys who are serving from Dallas area and may be able to locate his family. I am, therefore, enclosing this material in the hope that it can be returned to the boy.
