Florence Lowson. daughter ct Rev. and Mrs. J. C. Lowson of Wymore, has been Jtationed in Aus tralia for several months and re cently has been nursing in a hos pital, taking care of wounded men from the battlefronts. She writes an interesting letter of her experi ences: Australia, 11-23-43 Dearest Folks: I received Daddy's V-mail on the 10th. I regret to say I have not seen Aunt Mabel nor even phoned her. I'm much farther from her than you think. However, since you sent her iddress I have written them, and will do all I can to spend a few days with them before leaving Australia. I will no doubt get leave after six months here. It doesn't seem to be too difficult to get, and I will be able to fly down. At present I'm on night duty. I'm Bpecialing two very sick boys, so I keep busy. I'm much happier since I'm working. In fact, so far as my work Is concerned I'm happier than I've been since . joining the army. There seems so much more need for it here. You can't realize the pities of war over here. Sometimes, I think it a 'shame." Perhaps we wouldn't have so many if more peo ple could see it first band. I never " before realized the complacency of people on the side. These boys are going thru hell. There is no. other way to express it. And the pitiful part "is they, or any of us will never be able. to make those at home under stand. God grant that it is soon over. I've always realized it was wicked, but never like this. As I told you there is a fine chaplain here. We went to church Sunday. He shows great preparation and extreme sincerity. He seems to challenge one Just as you do, and yet gives great comfort, where it is needed so desperately. I can't imagine how long it will take to adjust to normal living again after 18 months or two years of thi3. It is so abnormal and so tiring, I feel for the girls who have put in two years here already. They feel as if they have almost lost contact with the States. These places are so remote. By the time this reaches you, you will be preparing for the holidays. I shall miss you a great deai." It doesn't seem at ail like Christmas here. It is go very hot. If you can will you send me a a couple of good books. I miss read ing, and can't get anything here. Also' some rit to dye white hoscj. We rinn't wear whites, and I may as well be using these I have, and some bobby pins. Thanks. Wish everyone a Merry Christmas for me. I'll be thinking of you.
