Hospitality plans recently worked
out provide for Invitations to Ameri-
can army and navy officers and men
on leave in England to spend at least
part Of their time as guests in English
households. Information bureaus have
been established at ports of debarka-
ton and at military camps, where
records are kept of the addresses and
accommodations OF those who have
opened their homes to Americans. As
the men report for leave. those who
desire to accept such invitations Will
be assigned TO homes, and, as far as
possible. they viii be sent TO the parts
Of the country they desire TO visit.

There are movie shows at ncst of
the camps and free concerts. boxing
