Brookes, to whom it was sent by relatives in ngland. +A THOUGHT A thousand planes go out at night, To us at home that sounds all right; But have you stopped and thought of . the men? They all have the same thought--to get back again. A thousand set out to go over there; Nine hundred and eighty arrive back here. You have heard said, "A mere twenty lost"--.. Not much, compared, but it's'an awful cost. One hundred and forty-nine fine young men, Who did not come back to their base again; They never shirked what they had to meet, Have you ever looked at it that way, * Mr. Man-in-the-Street? They went over there with spirits high Up above like birds in the sky. Their bomb racks full as thro' the air they soar, ' The object of their mission to win this war. 'Way back in 'forty, when alone we stood, .. The "Huns" did the worst they - 4 possibly could. They did all they could, and tried all they knew, : But they could not beat our unbeat- able "FEW". Against very big odds, our heroes went. To meet the Luftwaffe Goering sent, But odds to a Britisher in a fight Matter little when he knows he ia | right. 3 But now to-day the odds are with us, And it looks as if Hitler has missed the 'bus; And the Yanks are with us to the limit-- They have come over here to help 'us win it. So, when the 'planes, both British and Yanks, Go to bomb the Nazi cranks, Just spare them a thought as they fly above. May they all return 1 to the ones they love! . ' Because if they fail to return that day, A dreadful dologran will 'be on its way, To tell their loved ones they will never meet. Have you ever looked at it that way, Mr. Man-in-the-Street? --F.Markillie. _ CBC NEWS ANNOUNCER.
