And then, again, the storms of adversity uhbuII the house on the hill Hut the house does not fall nor does the hill ever crumble, For the hill Is made of that eternal substance we call human affection. And the home Is eternally founded upon It. Today our sons have gone down from the homo on the hill?to war Gone not to forsake us, but to defend us. Nor In their going have they forgotten. By the magic of memory and imagi nation they see?oven across the oceans?the hill-top home remaining steadfast. Upon this crest of devotion they see Mom and l'op standing. I faces both anxious and proud, turned toward them. And sisters waiving. And sweethearts throwing kisses. And, softly over the distance, they hear the prayers tor tiheir well-being murmured in the stillness of the night. Such Is the magnificent palship of those who have built their homes upon tho hill-tops. Love. Your Dad. P. S.: Aren't you proud of your cousin, "Manny" Moore?

Also, there lave been many Interesting .letters written by sons In the service to their mothers and their dads. One of the sweetest and most paretic letters this writer has had occasion to reud is that of a 13 year old Camden boy to his daddy who is a captain In a heavy artillery unit now seeing action on one of the far-flung var fronts. The boy is Malcolm Bryant, Jr., a son of Captain and Mrs. Malcolm M. Jryant. Mrs. Bryant was formerly Catherine DeLoache, a daughter of dr. and Mrs. Ben P. DeLoache, 1707 dill slreet. Captain Bryant, who for everal years was a commanding offier in a number of CCC camps and sho has been in the service of his ountry since the CCC project was bandoned was located at Camp Robots, California, and Fort Washington, daryland, before ordered to over seas luty. As a background for the letter from dalcolm to his daddy it is of interest o know that Captain Bryant is also' he father of another son, Benjamin Edward, born at the Camden hospital wo weeks ago. Captain Bryant has1 lever seen his new son as he had to eavo Camden for a port of embarcaion before the child was born. Several days ago Malcolmn, Jr., who s staying with his grandparents on j Jill street, wrote "To the best daddy | n the world" The little chap had I one into the kitchen and there with j lencil and paper wrote the following leart-touching letter: )car Daddy, I think you arc the best daddy in the rorld. We have had a lot of good itnes together hunting, fishing and all oris of things. When you punished le 1 can assure you I needed It. I ove you and will be the happiest boy :i the world when you get back. I o not think we could have done any lore together. 1 will take good care f Mother and of Ben Edward. We il lkeep the light on in our wnidow nd in our hearts waiting until you onie home. You should see your ttle son, pretty soon he will be walklg and calling for son and daddy and lama. 1 will with my best ability do verything Mother tells me to. Mother as her life tied up In us and we aye our life tied up in her. Mother is getting along fine, she will b?, little tomorrow. When you 8e^ ^ to come home will you bring met, pretty knife off of one of those A but If you cannot get one all yot| to do is bring yourself home u will be the happiest boy in the? as I have said before.*' A Your son, Malcolmn Bryant.lt Mayor Lauds English In Talk To Kiwanis Club (Continued from first page) civilization.
