Dear Fellows—

ANOTHER YEAR has rolled around, and with it another Memorial day. . . . But it’s nothing like the memorial days we used to have back in the prewar days. . . One of the most noticeable changes is the absence of zippy race cars from the speedway track. . . . There hasn't been a race there since 1941, and there won't be another until you fellows get world - affairs back in shape. ~ . . Weve had enough rain to break the hearts of farmers and victory gardeners. . A thunderstorm Monday evening brought a half inch of rain. . . . Lightning struck several houses and split a tree at Irving circle and S. Audubon rd. . . The soldiers and sailors’ monument fountains have been turned on and the old monument’s popularity with young couples is at a

peak again. . . . Two small boys started the monument pool swimming season last . Saturday. . . They seemed to be having

a dandy time. . . . Some of the boys have been laughing about the sad plight of a young woman wearing toeless shoes. Walking out of Wheelers on W. Market, she dropped a cigaret, stepped on it, then let out a warwhoop and grabbed her foot. . . . The cigaret embers had burned her toe. . . . So you can see that you fellows in the armed forces aren't the only ones facing hazards.
