XMAS POEMS

The following Christmas poems were written by primary pupils of the Manhattan school: Christmas 1 like to se e the Christinas tree All shining with beautiful light, 1 like to see the candy. And the stockings hanging bright. Donald Clayton A Christinas Tree There is a Christmas tree I see, And it is peeping at me. I love the Christmas tree

IN MK.MOhY In loving memory of my son ! William Earl, who passed away 10 years ago Dec. 10. Softly the stars are gleaming upon a silent grave, World’s weary trouble and trials are past, The depths of sorrow I cannot

tell

Of the loss of one I loved so well. The call was sudden, the shock severe, I little thought such grief was

near,

those who have lost can

tell,

The pain of parting without farewell. Mother and brother, Mrs. ! Clyde Underwood and Howard.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, FOLKS!

You’ve been grand passengers on this eventful trip through 1944

JVe*f stop, 1945! But just before we arrive, let me say to every one of you — “Thanks for being good sports and good Americans — thanks for using buses with careful regard to war needs—thanks for being good natured about occasional discomfort and crowding.” The fact that you can take travel at its worst, and still smile with us, has helped us do a far more efficient wartime job. It has made us even more determined to give you highway travel such as this nation has never known — come Victory! Right now, new Super-Coaches with

amazing comfort features are shaping up —innovations of convenience and sightseeing are on their way. The months just ahead will be decisive -ones for all the world. We know you’ll > keep right on with that patriotic cooperation that has helped transportation do its tremendous job all through th* / ywrt. For A Happier Trip Througn iwo .,. Keep on buying War Bonds —each bond is a bomb for our enemies. Keep on giving . blood through the Red Cross — to save ^the lives of our fighting men.

on for the absence of enthusiasm in Britain—it has been referred to the Treasury for consideration- is that, although policemen accepted for the new force will step up one rank, no increase in present salaries is provided for. The rank of sergeant will be the lowest in the new force, but the London bobby promoted in the new torce will, under present arlangements, continue to draw constable’s pay. • The British Police Commission will be headed by Col. Gordon Herbert Ramsey Halland, 56-year-old former chief of the Met ropolitan Police College. When the required number of volunteers has been enrolled they will be brought from Northern Ireland aqd the British provincial cities to London for an intensive course of training at a new police college soon to be set up here. No decision has yet been made —or at least disclosed--as to whether the first batch of trained men will follow the advancing armies through Germany to organize the police system immediately or leave London in a body after the final victory. However ,t is anticipated that the latter course will be adopted, with the military authorities responsible for the supervision of occupied territory until then. Northern Ireland police officers are considered ideally suitable for the new job. They will icquire the minimum of training. They are a highly-trained, efficient force and the only armed police force in the Britisn Isles. Their specialized training in dealing with Irish guerrillas —members of illegal organizations, who through the years have been using the methods now threatened by German civilians, will prove invaluable in their new job. An Ulster government official in London said: “There is unlikely to be any dearth of volunteers in Belfast. In fact, if the British bobbies’ objections are not qpickly ironed out, it seems likely that the entire rank ani file of the new force will be reel uited in Ireland. Anyway, they ray Irishmen make the best bobc'ies.”
