C vi i,.,-.; -h>uld pi.ticularly use some means and extent what little help they could to the F<1-A nierican troops engaged in a death-struggle against a de’perate and tre cherous enemy. Instead of living weekly parties for Army personnel in Baeolod who are apparently having a lot of fun by themselves, why should this act of eenerousi ty be »<>t also extended to our troopB hi the battlefront?? Charitable institutions should I bear in mind that a piece of native-made caudyj a slice of home-baked cake would g ve the boys) up jheir some hing to brag about. These little things m»y as those rationed to them, but then the thought* fullness, thespirit, is a vital factor la bolstering up their over-fatigued morale. Our boys have already done much in the pa»t. This fact was acknowleged by Majfir General Rapp Brush when he commended the District Cornmauder and his men for “the splendid service rendered”.

The driver was informed that there is only one Babista in Negros ahd that fellow was formerly senior inspector of the Japanese constabulary. “A co'laborator?’' he asked, ^nd. like a flash he tore the letter to bits. In that ca?e I won’t trouble my«eii looking for him ;anu this letter. You know what I meant.” he continued and immediately turned his back' £nq left. eth6i 6&ch Cross Hq8.
