I
hate

they

A
sorrowful
journey
was
made
today
In
the
United
States.
The
President's
special
car
moved
slowly
tlirough
the
Southern
States
bearing
the
(body
of
Franklin
D.
Roosevelt
on
his
last
ourney
to
the
White
House.
The
train
was
dark
save
for
the
last
car
in
which
six
enlisted
men
stood
at
the
sides
of
the
flag
draped

casket..
Thus,
people
who
had
gathered
at
tne
stations
along
the
route
could
sec
the
President's
bier.

where
a

was

Spec

recalled
that
the
last
time
they
met
the

at

it
was
to
give
him
a
rous
ing
welcome
home
after
his
vic

world.
He
is
wonderful
to
watch,
and
his
relatives
hi
Canada
should
be
very
proud
of
him.
"The
weather
Is
grand
here.
Yesterday
we
watched
our
bombers
go
in
by
the
thousands,
accompanied
by
fighter
planes.
I
hear
they
are
raising
plenty
of
trouble
in
Germany.
It
will
make
the
going
easier
for
us
oh
cur
next
big
drive,
which
won't
be
long,
I
hope.
The

this
is
over,
the
