To the annual question that; bobs up at this time of year of what to give ut Christmas there has been added a new problem on tthis December. 1941. It is what to give the soldier in the new army thai he Will most appreciate at yuletide. Seeking the answer to the ques. tlr-* :-s to wlni'T < man in ; niforn. will want for Christmas?a prob i lem that will be perplexing j>a-__ -* rents,, sweethearts and friends of some 1.250,000 soldiers this year? the Public Relations Office ha", conducted a survey among the me l of_Fort Jackson, A compact shaving kit that will fit in his foot locker, subscriptions to newspapers and magazine* that will "keep him entertained as well as posted on world events wag found t? head theTJhristmas list of the man in uniform. As in civilian life, Fori Jackson soldiers want gifts that are on the pratcieal side, the survey of the trooers disclosed. Mentioned^ more than anything else was a compact leather shaving kit that will hold W11 necessary-shaving lequlrements and yet is so small that it can be tucked in a corner of his footlook. er. Second on the Soldier's Santa Claus list was a request for maga. in the field of fiction, adventure annd current events. Popular also was the wish for a pen and pencil to their best girls. A subscription to the home-town paper was also requested by soldiers who are far away from home. Other suggestions that the men in uniform would like passed on to those whp; might want to remem ber him at Christmas.time includ. - cd?cameras and?portable Mdlos. The cameas will enable the Soldiers^ tu keep a photographic record ?* hi. hitch in the army. The radio will be a source of much entertain ment during his favorite pasttimo_ bunk fatigue.?'? Ttill another welcome gift for the men in uniform is a supply of plain white handkerchiefs. Nomatter how many handkerchiefs the army may issue to its~menT there i? always a deficit, it was reported. The old favorite c/f cigarettes, pipes and pipe tobacco would be welcomed and much appreciated by soldiers who invariably run short of smokes'toward the last of each month. A gift that the soldier coulo bring bring back tg camp after the - Christmas furlough i8 a box of as ' sorted candy, fruit or n variety of cheeses. Such a gift wnnld<-he~diB tributed around the tent or -bar racks and would put him in solid with hig comrades. Food after furlough is always welcome.

Christma,, Sgascrn is time tt and soon in virtually^very home in ni South Carolina some Christmas jj; greens and n Christmas tree wili help to make the holiday season g mf,rp ploaannt .Tn anma -it-wwyy jtfv- -P pear that the cutting of this ma O terial is a great waste even thnnvh XJ it may bring some measure of joy tl to our people during the presmt s< crisis. PaBt practices in cutting ej Christmas decorations have been P extremely wasteful, both when this material is removed under proper c' condition,, there is no cause for o! denying anyone these symbols _of J; the holiday season, according, to the State Forest Service. a: ? Certain Tttl'6 or last disappear ing speciea of trees and shrubs should not be cut However _-D trees and shrubs which ait quilt T abundant can be cut without doing g any great harm tu the woo-ds. For u example, in South Carolina the W rhododendron is quite rare moun di tain lapret is found only in stunt- n quantities in many localities and the hemlock tree is restricted to :. ^ relatively Birmll nr^& in the State. It ig qujte doubtful if these species l>1 should be cut at all for Christmas a decorations in South Carolina b Shortleaf pine, longleaf pine, slash bi pine, Virginia Aior Upland spi ne ?' -ptne?mid LliU common red eednr * are quite abundant in most loali. b ties. Where they are abundant they " can well be used for Christmas do e< corationw provided thrnn thine* are taken into consideration. "V First, any locality which has not b; yet taken measures to provide fire ir control can ill afford to sacrifice c< any of its foung treec for Christ ? mas purposes. In fact where woods fires are quite common there is generally very little material j whioh?is suitable?frrr l hristmas trees as a well shaped Christmas " treenrtnratrf?have-side-, branches ^ from the ground to the top 'and D woods fires kill or damage th ? lower branches on any tree. n The second'TSoTfit to be taken in. * to consideration is that unle->? tree? rfre selected with some re v gnrd to the forestrv neefk of Lht" localityi there is danger of trees v being cut which should be retained e' on the land. There is also danger s1 of trees being left on the land which in many cases shoifld be cut to imporve it. Therefore, the se. ^ 'ection of which trees to cut and 11 which to leave should be guided by 1' the forestry needs of the land ra. tl ther than the Christmac tree mar. ^ ket. In this same connection, when ai harvesting hollv. the onfim 1>: should never be cut and the branch ? es should be severed about three inches from the tnrnk_sa_that-tlvopresetting stubs will sprout dor t( mant buds and provide new sprays 1' within a few_ years. When cutting side limbs from trees which ar? s' left on the tre.es. as the limbshould be severed as close to tlv G trunk as possible. The- tiiird--thinp-to-kcep-dTTTfrincr a is that in all too many cases the s< farmer or landowner who owns the land is robbed of the Christmas T tree* which he grew. In many k states, it is the. practice to refrain G from buying Christmas trees : n-' sprays of Christmas green* un less they are tagged with a label Vi giving the following information: ti 1. Name and address of vendor. 2. Name and address of landown. n.' er from which cut. tl 3. Statement that tree \va, cut accordingto conservative prac. cc tices approved by the State r< Forest Service. ti In South Carolina the Stati Forest Service recommends that J to curb bootlegging of Christina.trees that purchasers require ven n dorc to place tags en Christmas trees and greens offered for sa'i s< In Aiken County the County Airen: a' ssues tups for Christmas trees. , _ Thi ?wart ice aall?p> otnl t'lr ^ landowner and enable the frjmei l': t0 obtain the revenue, to which lie is entitled from his land."
