Oh, well, he isn’t go’":.' any place! r~ By BETTT CLARKE (AP Newsfeatures Beauty Editor) If you haven’t yet been burned i sunning yourself on the beach, t lawn or backyard, you might like to think about the possibility of acquiring a tan by the slow but sure method. : It seems a little silly to sun one-' self to the point of exhaustion with dire consequences of pro i longed exposure to the sun’s rays. Then, too, after you’ve had a severe burn it is impossible to sit in the sun until your wounds are healed. When you blister and peel, besides the discomfort given by an unattractive appearance, it is a painful experience to work with sore arms, thighs or legs. Nothing can be gained by an overstay in the sun unless it is misery whereas a little common sense and planning can insure a prettier body and more healthful summer. There are some who can tan naturally without any help from lotions. But it is wise to apply a tannic type lotion even if you have the easy tanning brunette skin, just in case you should over stay your sun time. The time you should allot your self to bask in the sun depends on how quickly you burn. Here is a good schedule you might paste on your lotion bottle and refer to while you are sunning yourself. If vou find you cannot take as much as is allowed, cut your time down a bit. Or you may find that you can add a few extra minutes without any undue harm to your body. 1st day—Noon—10 minutes 2nd day—1:00—12 minutes 3rd day—1:30—15 minutes 4t.h day—2:00—25 minutes 5th day—1:30—30 minutes 6th day—1:00—45 minutes 7th day—Noon—60 minutes Once you have established this system you can schedule yourself from one hour upwards of sun SUNTAN . . . Sensibly shine depending on your own ability to withstand heat. The best suntanning hours usually are be tween 11 to 3 in the afternoon. Okinawa GIs Set Behavior Pattern For Wives At Home By RUTH MILLETT A recent story from Okinawa reported that 85-point Yanks were zealously protected by their bud dies—so that nothing would hap pen to mem De fore the day they were scheduled to go home. If war wives back home could take that pro tective, interest ed attitude to ward the wives who are soon to get their men back, instead of being jealous of their good for Kutn Milieu tune, every nome coming would be a sign for re joicing among all war wives. And that is just what is hap pening in a good many cases. A war wife whose husband is com ing home on points is often swamp ed with offers of help and best wishes by less lucky war wives whose men are still sweating it out. “I’ll keep the kids for you if you want to meet your husband when he lands,” one war wife will say. And another will look after the house and garden. And others are interested in the clo:hes she buys —wanting her to have only the most becoming things. The wives aren't even hesitant about giving advice or saying, “Now if it were Bill who were coming home, I’d do so and so.” Taking another war wife’s good luck in that manner is, of course, the happiest reaction war wives could have. For ’here is nothing in that attitude that tears down their own morale. The thing that licks them is making bitter comparisons and thinking, “She’s getting her hus band back—but nothing is chang ed for me.” If the men can want their friends to get home so badly they treat them “like expectant mothers” — as the news story pointed out—so that nothing will happen to them before they can be on their way, then surely war wives at home can be that generous in their atti tude toward the lucky women who are soon to have their men back with them. -V Dances At Davis Slated This Week The regular dance will be held this evening at 8 o'clock at Farns worth Hall at Camp Davis.

Army and Navy officials urge you to wri.e your serviceman now, write and ask what he wants, so that he may have a useful as well as a merry Christmas. The shifting of large numbers of men from Europe to the Paci fic will change the gift possibilities somewhat, the military advises, and gifts that were desirable in the European theater may not be feasible for the hot Pacific. A letter mailed now will reach the soldier in time for him to senct back his preferred gift list, ana in time to get the parcel off during the prescribed mailing per iod—September 15 to October 15. Last year, about 85,000 Christ mas packages were mailed over seas. Many could not be delivered or arrived months late because of unwise gift selection, insecure wrapping, incomplete addressing or late mailing. This year, pack ages bound for the Pacific the ater will have to go almost twice the dis ance they traveled to Eu rope—from a mid-western town to Cherbourg, for example is about 5.000 miles, but from the same place to Okinawa is more than 9.000 miles. To protect gift packages from extreme heat, cold, sand and dampness, the War and Navy de partments recommend packing boxes of heavy metal, wood, solid fibreboard or double-faced corru gated fibreboard. The War Pro duction Board has approved the manufacture of boxes approxima tely 10 by 6 by 4 inches, permit ting compact mailing within the five-pound weight limit, but last year’s regulations about prohibited items still apply. To make doubly sure that all gifts reach the boys intact, the sender is asked to list the par cel's contents on a separate sheet of paper bearing the serviceman’s name and complete address. In this way, if the outside wrappings are damaged, the armed service postal authorities can still deliver it in time for Christmas. -V Rev.

About 100 patients in the Region al Hospital are now participating each week in a series ol news analysis discussions’ brought to them in their wards by Wac Pvt. Elma G. Davis, former college his tory teacher, who believes that sol diers’ understanding of internation al relations will speed victory and make possible an enduring peace. Speaking to groups of up to 20 patients in each ward visited, Pvt. Davis approaches her discussions with a deep personal interest in war and postwar problems. To create an understanding of world affairs, Pvt. Davis says, an instructor must do more than pre sent a re-hash of the day’s front page. Her own discussions reach into the historical, economic and geographical background of na tions about which she is talking. Before coming to Camp Davis, Pvt. Davis directed the entire ori entation program for the AAF Con valescent Hospital, Nashville, Tenn., where her daily lecture was attended voluntarily by a group of about 750 men, representing an av erage of 95 per cent of all who were able to be present. The am bitious nature of her program there, characteristic of all her ori --'ntalion work, can be seen from the title of the series of lectures she gave at Nashville: “Winning the Peace by Social, Economic and Geographic Adjustments.” She hopes to present a similar series to patients at Camp Davis. Holder of an M A. decree from the University of Arkansas, Pvt. Davis taught for eight years at Henderson State Teachers college, Arakadelphia, Ark., before joining the WAC in May, 1944.
