A new change in Army Regula
tions gives officers and enlisted
men more liberal term under
which they may make allotments
of their pay to their families, it

The new ruling allows the en
listed men to allot everything but
$10 per month of the total of
their base, longevity and foreign

ances for dependents toward the

change now makes it possible for
any soldier, regardless of where
he is stationed to make the al
lotment.

Tanks Convoy
Spends Night
A ronvoy of army truck's

day afternoon and pulled up
to a local filling station. The

gas. He iu?2 a certified
order in hand good only at
this particular station. The
attendant had to admit that
he had only less than 75 gal
lons on hand and thus lost
the year's priie single retail
order.
The same convoy, out of
(u, searched for ? piacc to
spend the night. As the tem
perature dropped, the search
became more frantic and the
local J-xtl was considered.
1'nable to decide upon that,
finally the elated soldiers
uiuvrd into an empty store
located in the Regal Hotel
building. There were no
shades to cover the huge
plate glass windows, but the
boys had a good night's sleep.
