JUNIORS AGAIN TO SEND MENU COVERS TO NAVY, MARINES Washington, D. C.-When American sailors and mar ines sit down to Christmas dinners aboard naval ves sels, in hospitals, and at na val stations this year/ they will find at their places menu covers made by Jun ior Red Cross members. In school art classes boys and girls are turning out 550,000 of a special request from the Galapagos Islanls, an additional 4,600 covers for Christmas and Thanks giving will go to men sta tioned there. Juniors throughout the' country are helping to make Christmas festive for! both wounded and able-bod- 1 ied servicemen. Los Angeles' members recently met a rush request from the Red Cross field director on the ! U, S. Hospital Ship Mercy. The ship was leaving port i and might not return until ! after Christmas. In 12 wor -1 king hours Los Angeles juniors sent 700 gifts and recreation items, 300 car toon and joke books, 200 crossword puzzles, and 12 ! card tables to the ship. Soldiers in leave areas ; overseas also will receive I reminders of Christmas! ' from boys and girls back! ; home. Eight hundred Chri stmas units, each filled with 2,000 decorations, have left port to suppTerrierit other Red Cross shipments for re creation halls, hospitals,! and Red Cross clubs over seas. % MAIL CHRISTMAS PACKAGES BY DEC. 1 “Shop Early—Send all Christmas gifts bv Decem ber 1.” That reminder came yes terday from the Charlotte District Office of Defense Transportation'to officially I herald the opening of the Christmas season. It’s > a premature seaeoff this year, ODT admitted, ( made necessary by wartime 1 conditions. However, ODT asserted, the simple facts are that ! transportation facilities are i already so * overburdened : that the only way to insure j delivery of gift parcels this | year is to get them tq the j post office or express com ! pany by December 1. After that, the govern ment cannot guarantee de livery in time for the holi day. Briefly the reasons for the early deadline are listed by ODT as these: 1944 gift shipping is expected to top 1943 by 25 per cent. Gifts will travel greater distan ces due to wartime popula tion dislocation. Nation wide transportation and lo cal delivery of Christmas packages, when added to the heavy holiday furlough travel, with all transporta tion facilities already over burdened by war conditions creates a major problem. The only solution to that problem, says ODT, is coop eration by the public in meeting the December ] deadline. In Washington, Directoi J. Monroe Johnson, of ODT, summed the situation up as follows: “Christmas gifts as tok ens of good will, affection and esteem are particular ly important in a war-torn .world. This Christmas, per haps, they will mean more than evgr before.

C.-r-Each American held in Europe as a prisoner of war or civilian internee this Christmas will receive a Christmas package from the American Red Cross in addition to regular week|y food parcels Chairman Basil O’Connor, announced in an outline of! Red Cross holiday activities ! overseas. The Christmas packages contain the makings of a turkey dinner, complete with Yuletide plum pud ding, and candy, nuts, fruit, and chewing gum. Small gifts are aiso included: playing cards, cigarettes, tobacco and jdpes, games, ( washcloths, and .pictures of typical American scenes or reproductions of Currier and Ivss prints, Packaging took pl&ce in to allow ample time for delivery in the face of [ deteriorating t r ansporta tion in Europe caused by current military operations. transportation and delivery j of Christmas packages cre ates a nation-wide home front prollem. “War-essential transpor ta don needs must be metj first.

Median level of education of sold iers in this war is the sec- 1 ond year of high school, whereas that level was only the sixth grade grammar school in the last war. In . this war 23.3 per cent of our ! fighters had completed four; years of high school in con-j trast with only 3.5 per cent; of the soldiers in the pre vious war.
