I am 15 years old, four and one-half feet tall and have light complection. I am in the second year. Due to the ' war I cannot be any higher in grade. We thank you for the friendship bags you had given us. I know how you feel toward your sisters over here. It made us happy to find a sister scout try-' ing to help us from our misery. Is there anything you want us here, so I could send you? You can just tell me and I will send you any souvenir from the Philippines. I am sorry to say that I haven't a picture at pres ent, but I'll try to send you one. Will you, too, send me one? My present residence is here in .Baguio. the so-called "little America". Baguio has an Invigorating climate where the people frop the outskirts of the city come and spend their summer vacation.. Before the war, "the people'-..from Manila, (the capital of the Philippines) came and spent their vacation here in Baguio. If the weather will be good we will go for a hike on Friday, which is 16 kl. away from the city. But you wouldn't expect Baguio just as it was before, now it was ruined by the bombs, some from the Japs and unfriendly nature. The last previous storm did much, damaging not only houses but also the roads, electric wires, water and the beautiful pine trees fell down like thunders in May. Nowadays we have to do so much work not only in helping things done at home but help SERVICE STATION IS SOLD TO FORMER WORTHINGTON MAN The Hud's Standard Station located here at 29 North Section street has been purchased by Lawrence Stahl, formerly of Worthington, who has also completed transaction for the Jake Pirtle residence on East Washington Street.

"We don't want to spoil Jimmy," she said, "but we do want him to have the love and affection which he needs." Jimmy lives at the home management house near the university campus.
