George Uhe, Sanitary Corps, of 471 Pennsylvania ave., Frecport, N.Y., was graduated recently froni the Medical_.Field Service School, here, and is now qualified for duty with troops in the field after six weeks of' in- tensive training. He received his diploma from Brig. Gen. Addi- son D. Davis, commandant. The training course here equips graduates with the military knowledge necessary for them to be efficient officers, capable of carrying out medical preventa- tive measures and caring for the sick and wounded under war conditions. Capt. Uhe entered the army as a first lieutenant about two years ago and was assigned to the ser- vice of supplies. They, have been loh^-time residents of Freeport, but about a year ago, Mrs. Uhe, and their son, George, jr., went to Binhampton to be near the captain. The son expects to en- ter the Navy after he is gradu- ated from the Binghampton High been eliminated from the war, but the victory is going to be a costly one, not only financially but in the sacri- fice of the lives of the young men^ of the United States and its Allies. Consequently it is with ba ted breath that we will wish each other \A Happy New Year,\ knowing full well that before many months the kin of numerous men in the ser- vice will receive those dread- ed War Department .tele\ grams bringing news\ that some haVe been killed in ac- wounded or reported . * It probably is going to take something of this sort to bring a realization to many that there really is a war on. So many are content to give of their means to va- rious drives, and to invest in War Bonds, without realiz-; ing that this is a time when they should be giving of themselves.^ Take the Red Cross work room for in- stance.

And then there is the la- bor situation. While our men and women are risking and sacrificing their young lives on the battle field, in bomb- ing missions in fighter planes and flying fortresses, and aboard all sorts of marine and naval craft, our unions are threatening to paralyze the country in one way or another unless they get high- er salaries. , John L.

It is doubtful if even the prospects of the bloody bat- tles of the next few months will bring all the people to their senses, but perhaps mo?e will come to realize the seriousness of the situation than have in the past.

MAJ. DILLON PROMOTED Major Robert . J. Dillon, for- merly of 256 Green ave,, has been promoted to lietenant-golon- er, the War Department an- nounced to-day. Well, it's all over for this Christmas—all you were gonna get, you have got, 'ccpting the bills. You can try and exchange that pair of far lined, you know what's for a pair of fleecy paja- mas—yea, just try and get the pajamas. If you can find a pair in this village, unfilled, just let me know — and — if you find a strange pair FILLED—Well, let me know quicker. I'll stand by just to watch your astonishment, and anything else I can see. Course the merchants will be getting in more stock but gosh, ii Santa didn't clean shelves this Xmas, then he never did. The gals musta hung up stockings ra- ther than anklets*\'you -couldn't get all them fut coats and horse jewelry in an anklet or a pair of anklets. Seems as if most of the wear- able gifts this year came mono- grammed. Most of mine did any^ wayTyea) monogrammed C.O.D. Did you hear the one about the lady who wouldn't let her husband go through with an op- eration, she didn't want anyone opening her male* Now, ain't that corny? And old? You see the way I figure this if I can dig up jokes old enough the young- er generation won't know them and they will recall memories to the older generation. And furthermore; I'll hurry to tell you that Santa -was very very good to me. Everything I asked for in my letter to him he left— excepting that raise. I must write that in Armenian or Rua-^ sian each year. He never seems to get what I mean. Gee and to think a raise would last for 52 weeks, while Xmas is over in one hectic day. I'm convinced I know in person the guy who in- spired Dicken's to write about Scrooge, all except this—my man ain't relented at the last minute, or maybe I better say reformed. But he is a character, yes, verily. Now don't you go making any New Year resolutions. What's, the use, you made them last year, didn't you, anil how many did you keep? ^ knew it, you've even forgotten what they were. Otherwise model husbands swear they won't damn or argue with their mother-in-law during the coming year, jhd^ they don't -un- til about January 3rd or 4th, And then four days of pent-up steam Is let off. a%%fL.at one time, and the-Little Woman has lo co*ne between you. Soon the babies are awake, -the dog begins to howl and\ the cat wants to be put out to do a little prowling and things. You see you shouldn't have resolved in the first place and you wouldn't have revolved in the second. I'll take part of this, warning oack, resolve today to make a delayed donation to the National War Fund, Frecport's got to raise another 1,000 dollars, and resolve to buy more WAR BONDS. Don't fight with your Mother-in-Law, instead put your money in War Bonds and help fight real enemies of this coun- try, of ours. We'll have Mother* in-Laws when Hitler and Hiro- hito are where they oughta be so do your fighting where it will count most, fight with dollars, not words, Besides that's a bat- tle WE CAN WIN. And, you know what I' nican. Happy New Year, may aH your butter be legal. SUSIES BEAU. THE LEADER, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1943 JAMES SMITH Smith's Frecport Market 55 SOUTH MAIN ST.
