Show Lieut. Earl Hafen Home After Completing His Bombing Missions Home from England, after completing com-pleting his bombing missions, Lieut. Earl G. Hafen with his wife and infant son arrived in St. George Monday evening to visit his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Guy Hafen and other family members. mem-bers. The Legion Post, the Lions and the Firemen are uniting tonight to-night at 6 p. m., in, honoring the returned bombardier and 'his family fam-ily with a reception just outside the American Legion hall to which the public is cordially invited. Talking over his experiences, Lieut. Hafen says one may sort of lose his perspective of home during those months overseas that are complicated with learning the ways of other countries and making mak-ing bombing missions, but once back in the good old U.S.A. the picture rights itself again. People in England are good to the soldiers, sol-diers, but they are already wearied wear-ied with war and things have become be-come commonplace, if not sordid. But in the U. S. people are still alert and making definite effort to welcome the returning warriors. war-riors. Dine At Swank Place Docking at New York, the crew Lieut. Hafen belongs with decided de-cided to dine at a swank place once again. Sure they were welcome, wel-come, a dinner party including ladies insisting on giving them the table so they could all be together. And when they called for the check, Ted Lewis of orchestra orch-estra fame had already paid it as his little contribution to the fighting fight-ing men. Everything back home is right, says Lieut. Hafen. There is still evident that "know how" with women, who use cosmetics effectively, ef-fectively, and still think its worth skimping on other things to look attractive even to the very carefully care-fully special-occasion hosiery. And people are still thinking in terms of showing the "boys" the country appreciates them. He found this same fine attitude across the nation, na-tion, "and here at home everyone every-one extends the sort of welcome you have grown up to expect." He's proud of the baby boy who arrived during his absence, and hopes the youngster won't have to go through bombing missions when he grows up. |
