JUST BETWEEN OURSELVES 
Our. son Lt. Robert Moss is home after service in 
France and Germany and will enroll at Cornel! 
College, Mount Vernon, Iowa. Sat. Bill Moss, our 
second son is still in service in Germany as a lab- 
oratory technician in the 124th Evacuation Hospi- 
tal. We hope he will be home by spring. 
Naturally we are pleased and happy that our 
boys are home or will be soon and that the war is 
over. We feel that all will have more time and in- 
clination to grow flowers, travel and partake of 
the finer things of life. Many more are financially 
able to do and have things denied them during 
war time.. Flowers, have a place in our lives that 
nothing else can fill and the satisfaction of grow- 
ing themselves cannot be over estimated. —
