constantly filed with thoughts of war. j we realise that while our best efforts are ir'.ven to our country's service we must keep our minds and bodies in 'iich shape as to make those eforfs . :ii".t, effective. A feeling of depretaion and fear will never win against good cheer, good health and good work.
