that have been out of circulation

I came across the name of a

who, I think, helped to compile
the book. Her' name was Helen

This would make me at least

"Oh, weren't you the charmer!"
and flounced oft to finish her

I decided to take a look
through the old book myself,
and spent a ,thoroughly enjoy-
able hour, like an old maid with
her faded ribbons and her dance
programs. ,It took me from the

was young and tough, complete-

wicked.

were the incredible stories —
like -that of. the Dutch lad who
wa's shot clown and taken prison-
er while on leave.
*
There were the excerpts from
letters -front -home. They were
horrible in their thoughtless-
ness, but we thought them hil-
arious. For 'example: '-'We are
sending you a five-year calendar,
feeling it may come in handy,"
And this one; from a wife: "I'm
afraid I'm going to have a baby.
His father is a Canadian and
very nice. 'He says he is sorry
for you and -is sending you some
cigarettes."
There was the long list of
things to do when 1 got out—
pubs, girls and restaurants to be
revisited, placestO see, gifts to
buy. There was the entire ac-
count, in tiny writing, of what
had happened to me after 1 was
shot down—a comedy of errors.
* *:
And there, right at the back
of the book, tucked 'into a little
flap, was something that brought
me up with a jolt. It was a
head -and -shoulders • photo of a
young fellow scowling at the
camera. He was whiskery and
dirty. But there wasn't a line
in his face, his eyes were clear
and sharp, he had a shock of
thick, dark hair, and he looked
as tough as tow rape. I looked
at it for quite a while.
Then 1 got up and went into
the bathroom and looked in the
mirror. And I saw the deep
furrows in the face, and the
bleary eyes with the purple ham-
mocks url,dec them, and the
wispy, graying hair, and the gen-
eral color of a milk pudding. 1
looked at it for quite a while.
*
And I picked up my log book,
with the photo of that • young
felldw, and I took it down sellar,
and I put it in a box, and .I
placed a large trunk on top of
the box. And just befc.re I
mounted the stairs again, I salut-
ed—merely a casual flip of the
hand --toward that corner.
Then_ I squared my shoulders,
pulled in my. pot, donned a
pleasant. look, and, slightly fav-
oring my arthritic knee, walked;
up the stairs, whistling, to help
with the dishes.
April 12, 1961, miirks the
100th anniversary of the 'be-
ginning of the American Civil
War. The freedom of the slaves
was not a major issue. It was
a war to save the 'Union. In
fact, Lincoln's declaration of
freedom for the slaves did not
come until the north and the
south had been fighting for two
years. The event that actually
touched off the war on April
12th was the,,
