Families have shared Christmas trees, puddings, and turkeys with boys from every state. Boys have come in the kitchen and helped, beach parties of all seasons are given by families, clubs, organizations. Cakes, cookies, pies are served with hot coffee to the service men by eager women and girls at various centers night and day. Knitting away the day has become an unwritten command, a matter of pride and enjoyment, and sweaters, socks, and mittens roll off these hand assembly lines. Ac hospital and Red Cross centers the rolling of bandages, sewing of pajamas, and clothing for refugees and soldiers is a warming sight to see. This feeling of hospitality, and desire to serve is sweeping the country from home to home, city to city, state to state, and across to our Allies. In a hundred ways Wilson is on the alert hacking war HARRISON Pnoro 8
