THE CADUCEUS RECONSTR UCTIOli 7 1'—“ path of a world at war. Long may we be able to say, Peace on earth good cwill cto men. To this eiad we offer up our prayers to Christ who died that men might live. the season. (By Sergeant Ray J. Derwort) GREETINGS B, the men of the Con- valesce^at depai^tment wish to take this meth od of conveying to all our friends greetings of Our dearest wish is that all your sorrows may turn to joy and may this day be the happiest that you have ever known and may each suc ceeding one be happier than the last. To those who have made our stay in this department more agreeable by giving us auto rides and inviting us to their homes we are especially grateful and wish you a very happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year. EXPECT THEM SOON Since this hospital has been desig nated by the War Department as one of the convalescent stations for “Over sea” wounded we are daily expecting a quota of wounded from abroad. Camp Wadsworth at Spartanburg, S. C., has already received some men so we too are looking forward to re ceiving some of them very soon. We are well equipped for this service having six capacious barracks for this purpose and will do all in our power to bring them back to health and to make their stay here as pleasant as possible. NOTES OF INTEREST Lieutenant Z. H. Schultz, who since the opening of the Convalescent de partment, has been our Ward Sur geon, has resigned his commission to return to his practice in civil life. Xt. Schultz proved himself a very efficient offlcier and doctor and it is with many regrets that we bid him iarewell. Lieutenant Schultz left the 11th of this month for his former home in Hartford, Kentucky, accom panied by his wife. Wishing him all good luck we bid him farewell. CHRISTMAS Once again this festive day is with us. What fond memories are recalled by the very word “Christmas”! As children, this day was the orbit on which revolved our little world, we looked forward to the day when we should awake to find our stocking, which had been hung by the fire-place, filled with the things dear to the heart of every child. Our eyes took in the result of dear old Santa’s visit at one glance. The Christmas tree glowing with vari-colored candles and strung with pop-corn, stick candy and the glittering things that add to the pleasing tone of the decorations. The Yule Log crackling in the fire place near which hung the stockings of the children, baby Mary’s, from which protuded the head and laugh ing eyes of her first doll, brother Jack was filled with delight when he discovered the air rifle, the pride of every boy’s heart, hanging near his, and You, what did you find? That shiney pair of skates that you had wished for so long. We look back to those days when the keenest of pleasure yet since we have grown to man-hood Christmas holds a new significance. It now means the day when Christ our redeemer was born in a stable In Bethlehem. For four years this world has not known the peace that Christ spoke of. Peace on earth to men of Good Will. This year we face a Christmas with the world at peace and millions of hearts happy that have known only sorrow in past days. May their hearts know only gladness and never again be filled with the sorrow, that stalks in the CHANGE MODE Sergeant Nierzwicki, who has -been on day duty and Private Stocking who has been on the night shift, resumed their former status. These changes were necessary owing to the absence of Sergeant R. J. Derwort who has been on furlough visiting with rela tives and friends in Ohio and Penn sylvania. SET FOR CHRISTMAS The. Hospital Post exchange has been attractively decorated for the Christmas season and mamy favor able comments have been passed up on it by visitors to the hospital who have chanced to spend a few moments at the hig canteen. Sgt. first class Charles Cameron, in charge of the exchange, spent many trying minutes in arranging the wreaths of holly and Christmas tinsle, bells and accom paniments in such good taste. An other of his innovations is the at tractive lighting effect of the flags of the allies and the minature colored electric bulbs arrf.^iged among the show cases. It is. well worth the time of any one to visit this display and look over the stock of our exchange. Sgt. Cameron who is iargely re sponsible for the success of the ex change expects to leave shortly as his discharge papers are “en route.” He is oldest non-com at the hos pital at the present time.
