better feeling of security, rest one
hand on the speakers stand, desk or
a chair If your other hand feels
empty. put common object, such as
a pencil or a set of notes in it. These
we're some of the other simple tricks
that helped Madame Schiaparelli to
face her audience with confidence.
Another tip from MIR. Loder is to
stand still while you speak, keeping
your weight balanced evenly on your
feet and making no more gestures
than you have to. Audiences follow
movements quicker than they do
sounds. If you make too many motions,
your audience will focus on what you
are doing instead OF what you are
saying.

all this celebration is putting too much
stress on fun and not enough on the
Job at hand, but that isn't right.
Everybody has soft spot for Christ

"Pm going to tell some of these
mothers" said. You sure do make
it sound like quite life"
The sergeant leaned forward and
tapped the desk for emphasis. 1T is
the life" he said quietly. That's just
exactly why sepentyfue per cent of all
the guys who get their discharges turn
right around and re-enlist."
There was plenty of food for
thought in that on the way home.
And plenty of room for gratifca-
ton in the realization that one of
those guys who never fails to re-enlist
is - Santa Claus!

why not? Wouldn't that be some

Yes - that includes visitors, you
see: usually about two each for those
who are left in camp. But it still spells
plenty of turkey for everyone.
Christmas really begins on the
post" the sergeant went on, when
the post band marches around the
reservation on Christmas Eve playing
carols and all the vocalists join in and
give 'em hand. 1t sounds real pretty.

"Oh, no. The gifts for the kids are
paid for out of the officers fund. Dec

chow we may want that isn't regularly

there are other incidental expenses.
