Conversely, that support and enthusiasm has been maintained to the present time. Some of you sprang to our aid at once, while others held back until later, but the help of all of you has been necessary for the continuance of your publication, and we are grateful to you.

CHOIR MEMBERS ENJOY SOCIAL By Cleveland Cook The Ward Choir gave a riproaring party for all choir members and their better halves. Of course singing practice could not be forgotten for a week; consequently, choir started earlier than usual to give the party plenty of time to develop, and confidentially, it developed but fast!

Mrs. Butler received a letter from Robert J. and Lucille B. Bonnemort, saying they were safe in Manila. A few days later a letter arrived from Mrs. Kenneth Jorgensen, the former Roxy Bonnemort, relating that she, her husband, and his parents were also safe. According to the letters, the Bonnemorts and Jorgensens were brought about two months ago from Baguio, northern Luzon, by the Japs to Bilibad prison, Manila, and were subsequently freed by the Americans. They were all weak from loss of food, but are gaining health from American food and medical supplies. Kenneths parents are in bad condition, and are being sent home on a hospital ship. Roxy, in her letter, attributed what health they retained to the Red Cross supplies, although she said they were treated humanely by the Japanese. MR. AND MRS.
