PAGE rOTTR PIATTSMOUTH SEMI - WEEKLY JOUBSAL THURSDAY, SEPT. 26, 1940. Letter Tells of Nazi Bombings Over England Callaway Newspaper Contains an Uncensored Account of Eng lish People's Reaction Charles and Fred Ransley, of Wem bly, England, have written a letter to their brother, W. T. Ransley, of Callaway, part of which was publish ed in the Callaway newspaper, being as follows: "... Yes, as you say, we are liv ing in the most anxious times. At the present moment we are on the alert and ready for the beastly en emy to strike. Our preparedness is thorough we are leaving nothing to chance this time. We have learned our lesson from the countries that have been so shamefully betrayed from within. "The lads in all the forces are grand, especially the air force. "We cannot speak too highly of them. Their usual bag of enemy planes is recognized as five to one and the other day during an air battle over the channel they brought down 70 enemy to our 16 loss . . . and so it goes on. "We get so used to the roaring of the airplanes going out to attack, as we are so near the sea that we take it as a matter of course. "The spirit of the people wherever you go or whoever you meet, whether civilians or troops is magnificent. Everyone goes about in a most cheer ful and hopeful mood, although our enemy is employing every instrument of progress to bring havoc and lower our morale. "The treachery that has been go ing on in other countries is too frightful. We have been able to put a timeful stop to it all. The air raid sirens are just going. They have al ready gone once before but we don't take much notice, we just carry on. However, one is supposed to take cover if they are in a town. "... Since I wrote a few seconds ago that the air raid warning had been given, we have just had one of the biggest raids. We all had to go into our concrete air raid shelters. It was most exciting! There seemed to be hundreds in the air. "I don't know if this will get past the censor, but I'm hoping so. Least wise it might not, I won't say more, as I don't want the letter returned to me. "I go up to town quite frequently to see my friends and to a few shows, and when I am here do a bit of hos pital and canteen work. London, as usual, is simply packed and restaur ants, theatres, shops, etc. are pack ed and thanks to our grand navy aud men we have plenty of every thing, although our enemies are con stantly announcing that we are more or less starving. So far we have not iced very little difference although some things are rationed. Even the prices are very little changed, and long may it continue. "You say the news is all so con flicting, and I don't wonder at it, but our news on the 15. 15. C. is most accurate, I assure you. It is pure German propaganda to exaggerate our losses and their gains. I admit they have gained territory, but the prize which they are after is us. I assure you that they will have no easy task. We stand firm and reso lute and what is more, we can face well and our chins are up." Following receipt of the letter, a cablegram came this week from the two brothers announcing that "all is well and our chines are up." The Ransley brothers visited with their brother at Callaway for sev eral weeks during the summer of 19 39, shortly before war began. OFFICE CHANGES Due to the resignation of Mrs. Harlcy Minniear, who is soon to leave for Indiana to join her husband, changes in two local legal offices have been made. Succeeding Mrs. Minniear as stenographer for the Thomas Walling Co. is Miss Darlene Hennings, who was formerly Attor ney A. L. Tidd's stenographer. Miss Gloria Johnson, 1939 graduate of the local high school, succeeded Miss Hennings as stenographer for Mr. Tidd. Miss Johnson graduated with high honors in the commercial field at the high school. t MARRIED AT COURT HOUSE Saturday afternoon at the court house occurred the marriage of Rob ert -Pardue of Bellevue and Martha Josephine Phillips of Omaha. The marriage lines were read by Judge A. II. Duxbury in his usual impres five manner. The bridal couple was accompanied by Donald Bauers and Joy Evans, of Omaha. Wallace Says Farmer in Danger if GOP Victory Democratic Vice-Presidential Candi date at Shenandoah, Iowa, Tells of Aid to Farmers. SHENANDOAH, la., Sept. 25 (UP) Henry A. Wallace, democratic vice presidential nominee, told an Iowa farm audience today that if the re publicans win in November the "death knell of fair play for the farmer" will be sounded. Wallace selected as his particular target Representative Joseph Mar tin, R.. Mass., and said the repub lican minority leader in the house "has not voted for one vital and con structive farm law." - "By his fruits ye shall know him," Wallace said. He said that "for twelve years twelve disheartening years you hung on grimly hoping against hope for a turn of the tide of your for tunes. And then in 1932 there was a voice of cheer the voice of Frank lin D. Roosevelt and so twelve dis heartening years were followed by eight years of progress." The "milestones," which he said marked those eight years, were: "1933 The recognition of farm equality in the first Agricultural Ad justment Act. "1934 Decisive and effective ac tion to meet the calamity of drouth. "1935 The beginning of the rural electrification program. "1936 The Hoosak Mills deci sion of the supreme court and the farmer's answer: 'Soil Conservation to reclaim the nation's fundamental resources.' "1937 A permanent marketing agreement program for the producers of milk and special crops. "193S The second Agricultural Adjustment Act with parity payments and an ever-normal granary. "1939 Launching of a food stamp plan. "19 40 A vital role for agricul ture in the nation's program of de fense. We had piled un in the ever normal granary the surpluses neces sary to meet any drouth or any de fense need and at the same time had prevented those surpluses from shat tering the price structure as had happened in 1932." AN ORCHID TO STREET WORKERS One of the forces little seen in the King Korn Karnival was the street force of the city of Platts mouth that each morning cleaned up the streets after the crowds had gone home leaving torn paper and debris in their wake. The street workers arose along about 3 to 4 o'clo.k each morning and started out to dean up and had the streets in excellent shape by the time busi ness resumed its activity in the morning. R. H. PATTON IMPROVING Robert II. Patton, former council man and Burlington railroad vet eran, is reported as improving at his home in the south part of the city following an operation last week. He was brought home Saturday to be cared for at the home. Mrs. George Goebel, of Bay City, Michigan, has arrived here to be with the father and other members of the family.
