ceived from soldiers throughout
the country as we'll as from
countless young women who are
anxious to do their bit to make
life less lonely for the millions
OF boys in Uncle Sans great
army. Top prize winning letter
comes from Pvt. Mark Joseph
Ockwig OF Moffett Field. Calf.
Dear Elsie Robinson:
ut seems, unfortunately, that
n soldier Is handicapped from
the start by the reputation for
rowdyism and vulgarity service
men have acquired--deservedly
or not-but this need not be by
any means an unsurmountable
barrier IN his search for the
company of nice girls. His en-
listment or induction into the
army certainly does not require
him to live up to that ready
made reputation. II Is no reason
for him suddenly TO cease being
n regular guy and a gentleman.
Every individual. whether In
uniform or not. makes his own
record and reputation and will
be known by his own actions
and treated accordingly.
This Is a roundabout way of
saying that II a soldier remains
. gentleman he may expect to
be treated like one. His code
will dictate where he may and
where he may not spend his
leisure time. Undoubtedly he
will go TO church on Sunday. and
this will lead to contacts with
the right sort of people. The
girls may not flock around him
the first time he makes an APP
pearance, but they and their
mothers and fathers will size
him up. and II he wins their APP
prevail he'll soon have a circle of
friends with Sunday home din
ners. parties and dances In the
offinE--in short, the sort of
social life he knew back home
Let him conduct himself in
his new surroundings rs any
stranger would who wishes TO
establish himself as a worth
while citizen. and he will have
no difficulty In making the right
kind OF friends"

ainaZes thousands! !

HERE'S the house paint you've
Ill been looking for. Brilliantly
white, Du Pont House Paint stays
white longer because it is actually
"sef-cleaning"! 1t forms a tough,
durable film which protects the
surface from rust, rot, or decay.
Like all paints, it collects dirt on
exposure to the elements. AS time
goes on, however, a fine white pow
der forms on the surface of this
new paint. This powder is washed
away by heavy rains, carrying the
dirt with it and exposing a fresh
white surface. Usually this self
cleaning process starts after few
months of exposure under normal
conditions of weather, but may be
delayed under unusual climatic or
dirt-collecting conditions. Because
the "self-cleaning" process is grad
ual, the wearing qualities of the
paint film are not abnormally af-
fected.
Besure eyour painter uses Du Pont
House Paint. 1t costs no more than
other good paints saves money

Army Will Examine
SeIectees Before
They Are Indicted
Change TO Be Tried
To End Reflections After
Man Hos Quit Job

A system of giving selectees Army
physical examinations before they
report to camp for induction will be
tried next month by the War De-
patrment in an effort to relieve one
OF the most vexing headaches Of the
selective service program.
The change, to be tried in Penn
sylvania, will be put to use generally
if 1t is found successful. An i'm
mediate effect would be to elimi-
nate cases of selectees servering
business connections to report for
Army induction. only to be rejected
at the induction station by Army
doctors
A number of such eases have oc-
Cured in the District, many with
perplexing complications to the Sc
lectees. Induction station reflections
for the District have averaged about
Is per cent-a figure closely. sp-
proximating that for the country at
large.
Under the new system this rejec-
ton percentage would be wiped out
before the selectees ever report to
induction station for Army oaths.
Details of the change were not made
public by the War Department. but
1t was presumed Army doctors would
be placed on duty at numerous GEN.
tralized points throughout the State
to handle selective service physical
tests exclusively.
The system would allow the Sc
lectees ample time between the ex-
animation and their induction to
settle their personal and business
affairs. This preparation period, at
present, takes place before the Army
examination. with selectees having
to assume they will be accepted.
Brig. Gen. Cox, selective srevice
director for the District, today
called on registrants to keep their
employers informed Of their draft
status. Complete cooperation be-
tween employees and employers at
all times is necessary to insure
civilian job protection for the reg
istrants," Gen. Cox said. Each reg
istrant should advise his employer
promptly as TO how he has been
classified for selective service, when
he expects to be called for training
and then as to what his plans are
after he has had experience in mill
tary life"
