Planes for Farmers highlighted as future aid to agriculture
Washington reports Air Transport Association surveys show airplanes could transform farming by delivering produce and goods nationwide. The Agriculture Department estimates 3 000 surplus postwar planes may become air trucks. Airlines plan to boost farmers to grow crops beyond a 200 mile radius, include air parcel post, and use flying doctors and mail to reach isolated areas. Young men are urged to enlist in the Regular Army for as little as 18 months.

In Memoriam for Mrs. Eudora Hawkins
In loving memory of our dear mother Mrs. Eudora Hawkins who passed away a year ago on November 24 1944. The stars shine on a silent grave. She bade no farewell. The heavenly gates opened wide. God knew she suffered and the hills grew hard to climb. He closed her weary eyelids and whispered Peace be thine.
