A, P. pilot In a bomber: squadron who was recently reported "missing. believed killed," was a loiter to his mother?10 bo soul to her j if he were killed. "This loiter was perhaps the most ! amusing- one 1 have evei road; simple and direct in its wording but splendid | and uplifting in its outlook." says tho young officer's station commander in a' note reproduced with the letter in the " London Times, it was inevitable that 1 sliotild read it In fact Re must have intended this, for it was loft open In order that 1 might be certain that no prohibited information was disclosed. I sent tho letter to tho bereaved mother, und asked her whether 1 might publish it anonymously, as 1 feel its contents may bring, comfort to other mothers, and that every one in our country may fool proud to read of tho sentiments which support "an average airman in tho sxecutiion of hie present arduous duties. 1 have received the mother's permission, and 1 hope this letter may be read by the greatest possible number of our countrymen at home and abroad." "Dearest Mother: Though I fool no premonition at all, events are moving rapidly, and 1 lmve instructed that this letter be forwarded to you ehouln 1 fail to return from one of the raids which we shall shortly he called upon to .undertake. You must hope on for a month, but at the end of that timo you must accept the fact that 1 have handed my task over to the extremely capable hands of my comrades of the Royal Air Force as many splendid follows have already done. "First, it will comfort you to know that my role in this war has been of the greatest importance. Our patrols far out over the North Sea have helped to keep the trade routes clear for our convoys and supply ships, and one occasion our information was instrumental in saving the lives of men in a crippled lighthouse relief ship. Though it will be difficult for you, you will disappoint me if you do not at least try to. accept the facts dispassionately for "d, shall have done my duty to the utmost of my ability. No man can do more, and no one calling himself a man could do less. ''I have always admired your amazing courage in the face of continual setback:; in the way you have given me as good an education and background as any one in the country; and always kept up appearances without ever losing faith in the future. My death would not mean that your struggle has been in vain. Far from it. It means that your sacrifice is as great as mine. ThoSo who serve England must expect nothing from her; we debase ourselves If we regard our country as merely a place in which to eat and sleep. "History resounds with Illustrious names who have given all, yet their sacrifice has resulted in the British Empire, where there is a measure of peace, justice and freedom for all, and where a higher standard of civilization has evolved, and Is still evolving, than anywhere else. But this is not only concerning our own land. Today we are faced with the greatest organized challenge to Christianity and civilization that the world has ever seen, and I count myself lucky and honored to be In the right age and fully trained to throw my full weight into the scale. For this I have to thank you. Yet there Is more work for you to do. Tho home front will still have to stand united for years after the war is won. For all that can be said against it, I still maintain that this war is a very good thing; every individual is having tho chance to give and dare all for his principle like the martyrs of old. However long the time may be, one thing can never be altered?I shall have lived and died an Englishman. Nothing else maters one jot nor can anything ever change it.

JOHN L. GETTYS. Administrator Camden, S. C., December 2, 1940. "You must not grieve for me, for If you really believe In religion and all that it entails that would be hypocrisy. I have no fear of death?only a queer elation....I would have it no other way. The universe is so vast and so ageless that the life of one man can only be Justified by the measure of his sacrifice. We are sent to this world to acquire a personality and a character to take with us that can never be taken from us. Those who just eat and sleep, prosper and procreate are no better than animals if all their lives they are at peace. "I firmly and absolutely believe that evil things are sent into the world to try us; they are sent deliberately by our Creator to test our mettle because He knows what is good for us. The Biblo is full of cases where the easy way out has been discarded for moral principles. , "I count myself fortunate in that I 1 have seen the whole country and know men of every calling. But with the final test of war I consider my character fully developed. Thus at my i oa^ly ago my earthly mission is already fulfilled and I am prepared to die with just one regret, and one only ;?that I could not devote myself to ' making your declining years more 1 happy by being with you; but you will i live in peace and freedom and I shall ] have directly contributed to that, so ( here again my life will not have been in vain. ? ? , I 1 U.

Hitler Challenges World Berlin?Adolph Hitler, with a background of shining new cannon barrels, told Germany Tuesday ''we will defeat the entire world." The Fuehrer bitterly pictured .Germany aa the champion of labor and "tho have-nots" In war between "two worlds"; a war between "tho havos"?among whom he placed "Rich America"?and the ''have nots", between capital and labor. Essentially, his speech was a rousing pep talk to German workers and Its main burden seemed to be "work and be patient." He warned against hope for a q\iick peace. Pisgah News Notes ptsgnh. Dec.
