Lester Kalmbach reveals some interesting facts about Chi- nese money in the letter which follows. The letter was written to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Kalmback, who reside on Cran- ston street in Rosedale Gardens: "Somewhere in China. Well, I have moved again. I am seeing another country. It's a very nice place. The best I have seen since I've been overseas. I am really enjoying myself. The food is per- fect and so is the service. "We have changed money again and this stuff is hard to get used to. I had my clothes pressed yes- terday and paid thirty dollars in Chinese money. It's about 18 cents in American money. All the fellows have about eight or nine thousand dollars. It sure is a lot to carry around, and it all means only a few dollars. I will try and send you some soon. Am feeling fine and hope all the family is, too. How are all the little ones? It's a little cooler here than it was in India, but gets quite warm in the afternoon, like spring weather. I have a neer APO now. Use it when you write. I am glad to get mail again. It sure is hard on a fellow not hearing from anyone in over four and a half months. But everything is swell again, so don't worry, mom. I will say goodby now. Will write again this afternoon. Take care cf yourselves. With love, "Your son, LESTER."

V Fire Department Answers 4 Calls Sparks from an unscreened. chimney ignited the wood shin- gles on the roof of the home of Roy Kennedy, 15805 Farmington road, at midnight, March 14. Quick work by the occupants of the house in the use of a garden hose,. together with aid from the fire department, averted what might have been a very serious loss. Damage was in the neighborhood of $50. Slight damage was also done to the roof of the George helm home at 14305 Stamford, March 1. Again the cause of the fire was sparks from an unprotected chim- ney. The loss was quite small. Two other runs were made by the department this month, on Saturday, March 11, to extinguish grass fires. Chief Roberts is at a loss to understand why residents still insist on burning grass from vacant property, particularly with a high wind blowing. This prac- tice should be discontinued be- cause sooner or later it will result in serious loss of property. V Tin Can Pick Up.

Education is beginning to claim its share of attention in postwar planning. What should the par- ents of the future citizens of a democracy expect of the schools of tomorrow. By considering now what they believe should be pro- vided in any adequate educational > system and then planning will help to accomplish their objectives later. In the leafflet, entitled "Plan- ning Schools for Tomorrow, the Issues Involved," by Dr. John Guy Fowlkes, with the co-opera- tion of the committee on planning for education of the United States Office of Education, are to be found the following suggestions: "Planning is nothing more thar charting courses toward goals tha' have been agreed upon. Such planning must be comprehensive { to be effective. I "Education as a basic social en- terprise must have important con- sideration and it behooves those who are interested in educational service to concern themselves with plans and policies mor the future. ducators and laymen who are interested in adequate provisior.

LAVONIA JUNIOR RED CROSS During the Red Cross drive last week, Rosedale school had two Red Cross flags displayed in the corridors. Each child, who had someone in service, made and pinned a miniature cross on the large flags bearing the name of the serviceman. At the same time, money in the serviceman's honor was dropped into a milk bottle in their own room. There were 96 names pinned on the two flags. The proceeds were $41.71. i V Since 1928, the Archives of American Folk Song in the Li- brary of Congress have made and preserved recordings of more than 25,000 old songs created by and characteristic of various cul- tural groups of this country, among them being cowboys.

V — Washington has more than one man inaccurately rated as "in- dispensable" by some misguided folks. Figures recently released reveal an army of about 25,000 eligible men now employed in federal departments who have been deferred from a call to arms. Fathers of families who have re- cently been drafted for army serv- ice might rate some members of this army of 25;000 differently and classify them as "expend- able."
