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.

It’s important to keep your
car or truck on the go by
operating it enough to keep the
battery charged, especially
during these cold winter
months. It takes your car at
least three miles of driving to
recharge the average battery
on a cold morning, says Donald
B. Daum, extension
agricultural engineer at The
Pennsylvania State University.

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.
