TREATMENT OP GI JOES
IN FLORIDA
CLEANING JUNIOR
Wha with all the new babies mak
ing their appearance in this trou
bled world I think I am due young
fathers (out of a wealth of exper
ience) a bit of advice on the care
of their offspring. Care of a baby
is largely a matter of keeping him
clean, fo his first few months are
spent in a very determined effort to
stay nasty.
You cannot go about this job in
a pell-mell manner. It must be
scientifically done. First you cau
tiously unfasten the safety pin in
Junior’s diaper and let the three
corners down. Now take Junior by
the heels and raise him up until he
is resting comfortably on the back
of his neck and go to work with the
clean corner of the diaper. Never
work with a circular motion—that
only spreads the confusion. Rather,
work toward a given point with
master-like strokes. You will soon
be surprised how much infantile
anatomy can be cleaned with the tip
of his little britches. Now that you
have all the outlying area cleaned
take the three corners of the dia
per, forming a sort of ball (soft
ball) and make one last swipe at
Junior’s posterior and he’s reedy for
any man’s boaird of health. This all
may sound a little complicated, but
it is the advice of a master. It is
the only way.
•Now that you have it off, what
are you going to do with it? Why,
wash it, of course! Remember, you
are at this stage, still in love with
your wife and you don’t want her
soft hands in such messy business.
You’ll learn, but not yet.
For this job I can also advise from
experience. Alongside of your tub
of dirty diapers placq a tub of clean
water. Pick up the diaper carefully
by the hem and jog it up and down
and pass to the other tub. When all
have been transferred roll up your
sleeves and dive in. If you go about
it energetically Juniors underwear
will soon be floating in the breeze
and you will be happy, but, not as
happy a s when you have wrapt his
little behind in a nice clean cloth and
From a letter from a GI:
“I want to give you an idea of
Florida as a “hole”—that’s what it
is. My buddy and I went to Delray
Beach last night. The first object
was to get there. Transportation is
the worst I have seen. They have
just half enough buses to carry the
boys to different towns. My main
gripe is these damn civilians from
all over the country driving down
here in big cars—big enough to give
three or four Joes a lift, but they
travel along for most part. They
park themselves in the big hotels and
travel alone for the most part. They
don’t know there is even a war on.
“After we finally got to Delray we
couldn’t find a place to stay. We
went to a hotel and asked the clerk
if we could sit on one of the chairs
for a while and try to get a little
sleep. He said “Oh, no, I couldn’t
have that. The people vflio live
here wouldn’t like that.” We asked
him if a GI meant anything to them.
He answered “No, I don’t think they
do.” And that’s the kind of people
we are to fight for. They want to
know why a GI hates this place,
well that’s reason enough. We got
so mad we came back to camp and
went to bed.”

London, Jan. 15—Anxiety grew in
Britain tonight over reports that the
Allied War Crimes commission had
jettisoned plans to try Hitler and
other Axis leaders, and Moscow
broadcast that Russia intends to deal
with German war criminals in her
own way.
To memberb of the commission,
on which Russia is not represented,
already have stepped out—Chair
man Sir Cecil Hurst of Britain and
Norwegian Ambassador Brik Col-
ban. Sir Cecil gave ill health as his
reason and Colban said “pressrue of
work” forced his retirement.
The foreign office moved to calm
fears that there was any possibili
ty of the culprits’ escaping through
legal loopholes and announced that
Lord Justice William Finlay, noted
British jurist, has accepted appoint
ment as, Sir Cecil’s successor.
The Moscow radio quoted Ilya
Ehrenburg, Moscow’s best-known
newspaperman, writing in Pravda,
as saying:
“We ourselves will judge our tor
turers and this we will entrust to
nobody."
A move was underway in London
to bring the whole question of the
British policy on war crimes be
fore the House of Commons to be
thrashed out at the earliest date
possible.
The outspoken London Star de
manded that there be “no legalistic
boggling in ibis business” and as
serted in a sharp editorial that “if
there is one thing that we all know
we are fighting for it is to see the
war lords and torturers of Europe
and Asia tried for their crimes.
There can be no compromise about
that.”

On the postman’s calendar the seed
catalogs follow the Christmas mall
and arrive with the new year. On
the gardener’s calendar, seed catalog
time should be the time for planning
the garden and ordering seeds and
other necessary supplies.
This year supplies of vegetable
seeds promise to be adequate for all
Victory gardens, according to the
U. S. Department of Agriculture.
Favorable weather last year in areas
where seeds are grown commercially
resulted in a bumper crop. How
ever, gardeners are advised to order
their seeds as early as possible.
Shotage of help may mean a delay
in orders that arrive in a rush at the
eleventh hour.
A good rule for Victory gardeners
this year is: Buy supplies early but
buy no more than you need.
Sometimes we become careless
about important matters and the
ever present subject of Nutrition is
one that gets its share of slights
The school lunch is doing a great
thing along this line. Packed lunches
are apt to 'be monotonous and! unbal
anced.
One year of right feeding in the
life of a child is more important than
10 years after 40, say nutrition spec
ialists of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture. One of the best in
vestments a community can make,
the school lunch pays dividends now
and for the future in better school
work, fewer absences from school,
and healthier, happier children.
When the noon recess bell rings in
some 35,000 schools across the na
tion this term, it calls four million
children to a nourishing school lunch.
Yearly more communities are organ-
sizing to give their children a. noon
time meal which meets at least one-
third of the food needs for the day.
This is a good chance for all of
us to encourage a worth while pro
ject and help the children get the
proper food and the advantages
gained.
ARMY POSTAL SERVICE wishes
to clear up some of the misunder
standings of the public relative to
overseas mail delivery, according to
Col. Hartley B. Dean, Fourth Ser
vice Command postal officer. “It
appears,” said Colonel Dean, “that
one of the complaints of the public
is that mail service from overseas
is better than the service going over
seas. The reason for this is that
mail coming to> the United States is
bound for a definite, fixed address
while overseas communications are
often delayed due to the necessity of
directory service and forwarding to
find organizations and individuals in
a constantly changing scene.
“Another thing which seems to
puzzle the public is the fact that
overseas letters are received in
bunches. This is due to transporta
tion facilities—if a convoy sails only
every two weeks, naturally the mail
will pile up and be received in one
batch. This includes air mail. Both
air and ordinary mail aiccumulate
waiting for cargo space and as the
space is available, the oldest mill is
shipped out first. Of course if
plane space becomes available after
the letters (both ordinary and air
mail) have gone by boat, the most
recent letters arrive first and the
sequence of the letter is broken.
Look, God, I have never spoken to
You.
But now I want to say. How do You
do.
You see, God, they told me You did
n’t exist,
And like a fool, I believed all this.
Last night from shell hole I saw
Your sky;
I figured right then they told me a
lie.
Had I taken the time to see the
things You made,
I’d have known they weren’t calling
a spade a spade.
I wonder, God, if You’d shake my
hand.
Somehow, I feel that you will under
stand.
Funny, I had to come to this hellish
place,
Before I had time to see your face.
Well, I guess there isn’t much more
to say.
But I’m sure glad, God, I met You
today.
1 guess the zero hour will soon be
here,
But I’m not afraid since I know
yon’re here.
The signal: Well, God, I’ll have to
go:
1 like You lots, this I want You to
know.
Look, now, this will be a horrible
fight;
Who knows, I may come to Your
house tonight.
Though I was not friendly to You
before,
I wonder, God, if You wait at Your
door.
Look, I’m crying! Me! Shedding
tears!
I wish I had known You these many
years.
Well, I have to go now, God; good
bye.

CIGARETTE RATION CARDS BE
PUT OUT
Dealers Will Try To Apportion
Quota
Chicago, Jan. 15—The National
Association of Tobacco Distributors
announced today it would make cig
arette ration cards available to more
than 1,000,000 tobacco outlets within
two weeks, for dealers to distribute
to their regular customers.
The rationing plans, the associa
tion said, will be voluntary on the
part of the dealers. The numbered
cards will be punched for each pack
purchased by a customer, and cus
tomers will be required to sign a
declaration that they hold only one
card.
Joseph Kolodny, executive secre
tary of the association, told a press
conference his organization believes
the plan will prevent “raids” on
dealers’ stocks “by hoarders who
shop every outlet,” and will have
the ultimate effect of restricting
cigarette smokers to a single source
of supply.

fund, $1,000,000 went into a current

The surplus from the current fis

revenues indicate it will match last
