Of Cows and Men
By PFC. HERBERT C. CANTOR
Soldier's Thought Written in a
Few Minutes Before Duties in Bad
Schallerbach, Austria, on Dec. 1, 1945.)
If I were a cow, of Europes' stock,
And had set .a goal in life—
Of course, my single quest would be
To leave this land of strife.
America first. would beckon to me,
With •its gay though lazy mode,
For there a cow is safe and free:
From the burden Of pulling a load.
Yes. Cousin Elsie has all the luck,
Her • pastures are intact.
She roams about great fields of green,
A life so matter of fact.
Not so in Europe, a wasted land,
None of us get a break.
From dawn till dusk the horses work,
At night, they're used for steak.
Now, alas. we-have been tied
To carts of smelly manure.
Our work is hard and long each day,
We're looked down upon as cur.
Oh. Elsie. dear. I plead anew,
See your Senator today!
I'd gladly brave an ocean trip,
And require but little hay.
United again we'll live in bliss,
In time perhaps a calf.
I'll share your lot, you may be sure;
As long as I get half!

1945 a few hundred additional

ber of radios shows a marked in-
crease from 42,577 in 1939 to
56,955 at the end of 1944.
