WILLIE -EDITOR- BLAN HANCHEY Office Phone 24-Residence 14 THOUGHT FOR THE DAYThe Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in 103: 8. CHOSEN INSTRUMENT A poet is the chosen instrument Of mind and heart.
Inordinate as time, His tireless pen has been coincident With every age. Upon the scroll of rhyme He faithfully records immortal charts Of life and death that will endure beyond The latent years. Forever weary hearts, Concerned with platitudes, will feel the wand Of: singing phrases touch the finite shell, Reveal unchartered avenues of thought That lead to beauty's haughty citadel. There in resplendent phraess, deftly wrought, He traces through the cabalistic years, The timeless paradox of joy and tears. -Bert Henderson.
MEDITATION I think the soul would choose its going where Such mystery prevails, and questionings Intensified by the swift, widespread wings; There is a great peace in this atmosphere Of love's finality; there is no fear In change that violates no thought, but brings Close harmony to life and mind like strings Of viols when loving hands are drawing near. And if the soul meets now its horizon It goes without a deep reluctancy, And gazes with clear, joyous eyes upon The changing robes of hills with certainty, And calmly drifts to some white Ajalon As crimson leaves forsake an Autumn tree. -Lottie Henderson Cary THOMPSON-WHITEHURST MARRIAGE ANNOUNCED- Mr. and Mrs. Rufus Whitehurst announce the marriage of their daughter, Dorothy to John Joseph Thompson on May 5th, at a simple ceremony at the home of Rev.

Graves: Dear Folks: I've received about five letters from you now and believe me they looked good to me coming to this far-away land "down We're now camped somewhere in the woods of Australia in somewnat different quarters from that we've been accustomed to for so long. However, I like it here.
We're living in tent, sleeping on folding cots, which are placed inside the tents. The modern conveniences are somewhat lacking but it's a great life. At the time of this writing Australia's civilian population is celebrating a five-day holiday the first of such, I understand they've had since entering the war. They are celebrating Easter, Anzac Day and Labor Day. Yesterday our battalion, of which I was a part, paraded before the largest audience I have ever seen in Brisbane.
The streets, houses and buildings were crowded to the very core with Australian civilians, sailors and WACS of all kinds. The parade was in celebration of Australia's Armistice of the last war in which she lost 60,000 troops. It is called Anzac Day. This included Australia and New Zealand in combined forces. Our battalion was quite distinguished again since it included the only American troops in the parade.
All traffic rules here are just the reverse of ours in America. The money system is quite different and the weights are in stones and pebbles. I weighed last night and I weighed 13 stones. was told that it meant 185 pounds. The trains look like our 1900 models.
I've been eating fruits of all kinds since I've been here, including bananas, plums, apples, grapes, and pineapples. Milk is also plenitful. Well, I guess that's about all except we have one thing ahead of you Americans and that's watermelons in April. God bless you all. "ART." Mrs.
