Enjoy Music While
They Eat In Army
Moody Field, Ga.?Something new
has been added!
Last week when the Cadets and
enlisted men at Moody Field, Ga.,
filed into their mess halls for din
ner, many questions were raised
about those "little black"boxes" on
the walls.
^ They weren't there yesterday."
"Wonder what they are?"
Well, the mystery was short lived.
As the men sat down to a hearty
meal, the "little black boxes" gave
out with "I'll Be With You in Ap
ple Blossom Time."
Food plus music. Originating from
the Post Chapel, every day at noon
time the men at Moody Field are en
tertained with soft music (slightly
recorded, of course) ... as well as
"live" vocals and organ selections by
Cpl Ben Manning, of the Chapel
staff. When Chaplain Williams ask
ed the men to request their favor
ite selections, he was totally unpre
pared for the avalanche of phone
calls which poured in. However, as
long as the records and Cpl. Manning
hold out, every effort will be made
to comply with these requests.
What do the men think of it? As
one tough sergeant put it, "It's like
eating at the Ritz." A new recruit
said, "It's wonderful. Back home in
Mississippi, I would never think of
sitting down to dinner until I had
turned on the radio. But who ex
pected to find the same thing in the
army "
However the last word was utter
ed by a veteran of 20 years service
who said. "It s O. K. with me as long
as they don't play 'Shoot the Sher
bert to Me Herbert'."
To Spend Week-end Here
Miss Dorcas Knowles, of Farm
ville, will spend the week-end here.
Were Here This Week
Mr. and Mrs John Wier. of Camp
Davis, visited friends here this
week.
Fuel Oil Rationing
Registration Oct. 15
Registration for fuel oil rationing,
one of the most complicated and im
portant of all such jobs, probably
will start October 15th, with all oil
burning householders in 30 states
filling out detailed forms. It's plan
ned to cut overall consumption by
about 30 per cent from normal, al
though keeping regulations flexible
to avoid actual hardships. Yet house
holders who have taken pains to
weather-strip and window-condition
their homes, and put furnaces into
good shape, probably will get along
better with the rationing boards than
those who haven't taken such meas-1
ures ...
Latest reports are that gasoline ra
tioning will become nationwide
around November 15th?and the gas
we get thereafter may be a mixture
of various brands, because the WPB
has ordered "pooling" of output from
all refineries so as to make most ef
ficient use of transportation facili
ties. Trade names will be retained
though. Incidentally OPA finds car
driving now down to 58 of normal
in gas-rationed states, but holding
on at around 89 per cent in other
states No fooling about that 35-mile'
Ten Per Cent Of All
Mail For Soldiers Is
Improperly Marked
Some "Don'u" To Observe in
Mailing Christmas Gifts
To Service Men
Soldiers overseas may have writ
ten home for matches, cash money,
cigarette lighter fluid, or intoxicants,
but don't send overseas troops any
of these items, Headquarters Fourth
Service Command, warns.
Mailing restrictions were listed to
insure delivery of Christmas presents
sent the foreign-duty soldiers by De
cember 25th and the Army Postal
Service reissued a plea for all Christ
mas parcels of overseas destination
to be mailed between October 1 and
November 1.
Requests made by the soldiers for
matches and cigarette lighter fluid
because of the difficulty of obtain
ing matches in many parts of the
world will have to go unfilled be
cause of the danger of spontaneous
combustion in mail sacks is too
great. However, cigarette lighters
may be mailed, but be sure to leave
out the fluid.
Cash money is useless as a gift to
troops ov.erseas because in many
places where U. S. soldiers are sta
tioned there is a local prohibition
against importation of United States
money, so such money could not be
spent. When sending money to sol
diers in other countries use Domes
tic Postal Money Orders which may
be cashed at Army Post Offices any
where, Money orders overseas are
paid in local foreign currency at the
current rate of exchange.
Postage for these Christmas pack
ages must be fully prepaid at the
icgular parcel post ra{e, only to the
pork of embarkation. Each should
be limited to the size of an ordinary
shoe box and weigh no more than
six pounds; should be securely wrap
ped to withstand rigorous handling;
and should be wrapped so as to per
mit ready inspection of the contents
by the censors. Not more than one
Christmas parcel may be mailed in
any one week to the same addressee.
Gifts of a personal, utilitarian na
ture should be sent overseas troops,
according to the Army Postal Serv
ice. Miscellaneous contents such as
candies, soaps, toilet articles and the
like should be packed tightly. Sharp
pointed or sharp-edged instruments
such as razors, knives or scissors,
should be enclosed in wood, metal or
corrugated pasteboard.
Sealed packages of candy, cigars,
tobacco and toilet articles may be
enclosed within parcels without af
fecting the parcel post classification
of such packages.
A recent War Department survey
conducted at ports of embarkation
disclosed that approximately ten per
cent of all mail intended for deliv
ery to members of the armed forces
overseas is incorrectly or insuffi
ciently addressed.
The Army Postal Service reissued
the request that all mail addressed
to Army personnel serving outside
the continental limits of the United
States should clearly show: the full
name, serial number, service organ
ization and Army Poost Office num
ber of the addressee.
speed limit. OPA may put through
a regulation authorizing rationing
boards to revoke the gas ration books
of persons convicted of exceeding
that limit . . .
Meat rationing now appears due
around January 1. Meantime, pack
ers have orders to withhold from the
civilian market 21 per cent of the
amounts they supplied to it in the
same period of 1941, and Agriculture
Secretary Wickard appeals to citi
zens to cut personal consumption to
two-and-a-half pounds per week, vol
untarily, in the meantime.
A Prize Smile?and Squash
Wearing a smile almost as large as the squash she is holding is little
Joy Krumm. She's sitting in one of the victory gardens on exhibition at
the Harvest Show in Grand Central Palace in New York City. The

done to prevent it, as it is very an

The ravages of a very malignant
type of typhoid fever in that section

Effect Savings In
Shell Production
Each day some new method, some
labor-saving device, some guarantee
against "too little, too late" comes
from men on the industrial produc
tion lines. The other day an "ounce
of-prevention" gauge which nips
shell forging errors in the bud and
saves thousands of vital man-hours
came to light. The device was design
ed by two company inspectors, who
burned midnight oil for three months
perfecting it. It has reduced govern
ment rejections of finished projec
tiles from an original figure of 10
per cent to less than one per cent.
It's a three-pronged instrument
which fits into the cavity of a rough
shell forging and pre-determines by
mathematics the weight of the fin
ished shell, enabling workers to
nose the projectile so that the finish
ed product will comply with rigid
Army specifications.
