Views of i
Congress i
By
Dr. A. L. Miller.}
M. C.
--*
Your Congressman has returned
to Washington after a most pleas
ant and profitable six weeks in
his district. I visited a number of
county fairs and many service
clubs. I received some splendid
advice. This will be of great help
when Congress resumes on Sept.
14th. It seems to me that the
people in the district are anxious
that everything be done to get
the war over with quickly. They
want their boys back home. If
the war was over tomorrow would
your community have a job for
the returning soldiers? Commu
nities should do some post-war
planning. They should not rely
entirely on the federal govern
ment.
Folks in my district generally
feel that there has been too many
unnecessary rules and regulations
issued by the Office of Price Ad
ministration. Nebraska people
still have the pioneering spirit
and want to be left alone. They
will solve their own problems.
They do not want a great deal of
help or interference from Wash
ington.
1 believe the Congress will first
consider the Man Power and draft
situation. Many folks feel that
before married men with families
are taken into the military there
should be a rescreening of the
three million rejected draftees.
Some of these men were rejected
for minor physical difficulties.
There are eight hundred thous
and men of draft age in federal
employment. Some of these men
should be in the military or in
essential war work.
The Congress will act on the
gasoline and food production sit
uation. They will give rhore'at
tenton to getting back some of
the powers delegated to bureaus
and commissions.
I believe they will vigorously
attack the twin sins of govern
ment, extravagance and waste.
I came back a week early in
©rder to appear at some hearings
on irrigation projects in Nebras
ka. The following projects will
receive consideration by the Rec
lamation Bureau and the War
Food Administration: The Mirage
Flats, Sargent irrigation project,
Dismal river project, the Lexing
ton. Kearney, Grand Island pro
ject, the new project near‘Goth
enburg and the extension and en
largement of the projects in the
North Platte valley. y
The bond drive in the country
is on in earnest. Buying bonds
represents a clinched fist of the
American people. That fist with
your help will strike vicious
blows against the axis. It will
shorten the war. BUY BONDS.
Sergeant Harold Young
Enjoyed Visit In Ireland
The following letter was re
ceived by Mr. and Mrs. Guy
Young of Atkinson, formerly of
the Opportunity neighborhood,
from their son, Sgt. Harold
Young, who is now stationed in
England. His letter is about a
visit with his brother, Leslie, who
has been a member of the U. S.
Marines for nearly four years. He
does not state where his brother
was stationed, but it is probably
somewhere in England:
“Dear Folks: At last Les and 1
got together over here. I iust re
turned from going up there. I
didn’t get to stayi long, but it was
well worth the trip up there and
back. I really appreciate the First
Sergeant and our Adjutant being
considerate in giving me the time
to make the trip.
“I just walked in qn him the
other day—very much of a sur
prise to him. I was luqky in find
ing the place without any extra
trouble, and to catch him while
he was off duty. You can be sure
I was plenty glad to meet him
again; I’ve seen so little of him
since he joined the Marines, and
now he’s fairly counting the days
till the end of his four-year hitch.
“Les just moved me into his hut
for my stay there. One of the
fellows was on night duty, so I
used his bunk. They have swell
living quarters. As for chow I
■went with Les to the merry mess.
They really do feed good. I have
to confess, though, that as an
army man I felt a little out of
place among a whole bunch of
sailors and marines. Of course,
Les showed me some of the coun
try when he had leave to go to
town. I rather liked part of the
town. I believe I could get along
pretty good with the Irish, (you
see I’m a pretty good Holt county
man yet). But the shanty Irish
.part of town was a different story.
A Substitute for Hell
__
Somewhere in New Guinea these wounded soldiers await evacuation, fiat on tneir Dacus, in
the steaming heat of the jungle, where mosquitoes plague the air and ants and mosquitoes torment
weary bodies, they dream of home ... of clean white sheets and the touch of cool, comforting
hands. You can help provide modern hospitals and the medicines they need for their recupera*
tion by putting every dollar you can into War Bonds during the Third War Loan.
My stay in Londonderry didn’t
last near long enough, so I was
soon on my way back toward
England. The trip was a bit
lengthy, but there was a lot of
new country to see. But now I’m
back in camp and there’s work to
do, so will close for now.
Your son, Harold. _
