PAGE TWO You can help the U.S. The letter reprinted here is an appeal to Ton Duc Thang, the President of North Vietnam, on behalf of the 1,600 U.S. service- men who are prisoners of war or missing action in Southeast Asia. A translation of the letter is also included here. It was brought to our attention by Capt. Neil Fisher, commander at Benton Air Force Station, who asked that we publish it in such a manner that it can be re- moved and mailed to Hanoi. We ask that you sign it and send it to: Ton Duc Thang, President, Democratic Republic of Viet- nam, Hanoi, North Vietnam. (25 cents postage). The goal is 10 million letters to Hanoi before Christmas. But if you have missed that dead- line, don’t hesitate, send the letter now. To the Honorable Ton Duc Thang: We take this means of ap- pealing {o you oi: a situation which is close to the hearts of all Americans. This issue is not whether Americans should be in Vietnam or whether we should pull all our troops out immedi- ately. The issue is not whether you are right and we are wrong or that we are right and you are wrong. The issue is the 450 American Servicemen who are held in your prison camps. Another 1,150 are listed as missing and possibly some are your prisoners. Their situation is our united concern. Both the ‘doves and the hawks’ of America feel deeply about them and their welfare. We ask you to consider their im- mediate release. They have no military value to you. They can’t hurt or hamper your war effort and no longer would help ours. These men, like your soldiers, do not institute policy but merely serve as soldiers have done since time began. Like your men, they performed their duty and were willing to sac- rifice for their country. Like your soldiers, they left their homes and families not because they wanted to but because their country called on them. Patriotism is not limited to the men of Vietnam or to the It is easier to prevent water pipes from freezing than to do without water after they are frozen. That's why Henry Wooding, Penn State extension agricultural engineer urges that new water lines be laid below the frost level and exposed lines be protected by electric heating cable. POW:'s men of America but is the privi- lege of all men. They fight under their flag whether it be red, white and blue or red, yellow and blue. t Your supporters in this country could take satisfaction from the release of the pri- soners. This, more than any- thing else, would demonstrate that you, too, do not seek re- venge against men who did their duty. This, too, would show the world that compas- sion, not punishment, can lead to peace. The arguments of your critics that human life means nothing to you would be baseless if you allowed just peace by acting quickly to the appeal. If your heart contains mercy and your soul compassion and if you truly seek to help the cause of peace, you have an opportun- ity to achieve these images in the eyes of the world. The feeling here is that you don’t care about the individual; that his needs and wants and desires don’t matter; that life is not scared to you. Your actions can give lie to these beliefs. An act of amnesty toward American prisoners would show the world that you are concerned with life and that all life is sacred. Family ties in America are strong and all Americans want these men reunited with their families. Some fathers have never seen their children. Some are missing the joy of watching them grow. And, the children, they live with a constant dream and hope that they may again be a whole family. Few men in the history of the world have been given the op- portunity that you now have. History can record you as a man of compassion; a man who respected human life and held it in high value; a man who held that family life is paramount providing a measure of peace to many families. Return these men to their families and the world would hail you. Retain them and your supporters can’t help but wonder about your sincerity and ‘motives. We address you not as one enemy to another but as one human to another. As citizens of the United States we have no power to offer anything as individuals but goodwill in exchange for the men you hold. We have no power to make threats if you don’t. We only have hope; hope that you will heed the pleas and restore these men to their families. THE DALLAS POST, DEC. 29, 1970 sng Adj Ly.

WITH 4 SPEAKERS ONLY—$124.95 some delicious ways to prepare venison Venison, properly treated after the kill, is a sportsman’s gift of joy. Because the fat is distasteful, it is removed before cooking. To be tender and tasty, the lean meat is either marinated or ground and mixed with other ground meat, ex- plains Lillian B. Jamgochian, Extension Home Economist of Luzerne county. One homemaker says she .mixes equal parts of ground beef and venison, packs the mixture into meal-size portions, labels the packages “B and V’”’ and freezes the meat. She shared this complete protein food with a relative who later told her ‘‘that B and V sure was good.” Another mixture that some homemakers like is two parts ground venison and one part fresh pork sausage. Either mixture may be cooked in the same ways as ground beef. A popular marinade - which the French and Germans use for venison is: one cup of inex- pensive red wine, one cup of | water, six black peppercorns, two bay leaves, a tablespoon of salt, two carrots sliced, and one onion sliced. garlic cloves to onion. Venison, five pounds or less, is covered with the marinade and refrigerated one to three days, the meat being turned from time to time. When ready to use, it is drained, patted dry, and cooked as a pot roast with potatoes or sweet potatoes. Marinade may be used in the stock. For a special treat, try venison ragout. Cut four to five | pounds of shoulder into one and a half 1” marinade. Put in container and keep covered in refrigerator for ° a week. Drain when ready to cook meat. Melt cooking fatin a heavy roasting pan and brown meat. Add vegetables from the marinade and a cup of red wine with enough water to cover the Italians prefer ° cubes and add meat. Roast at 350 degrees until meat is tender and serve with the juice poured over it. Choice cuts of young deer or fat old bucks can be roasted or broiled as for beef. You may wish to check your recipe sources for other ways to prepare and serve venison. If the hunter in your family needs guidelines. for proper field dressing of deer, suggest that he write or call the County Exten- sion Service Office, 5 Water St., Wilkes-Barre for a copy of Special Circular 119, ‘Dressing Out Your Deer.” This circular is free.
