Founded to give girls of limited

Woman's College still fulfills that
obligation. In 1892, 95 girls betrayed
their expenses at the Normal; today,
while it is not possible for a girl to
meet her entire expenses, more than
600 find employment to help pay
for their educations.
There have been more than 5000
graduatesfct the college, more than
10000 who have attended the col
lege from one year to varying pc
riods, including the full four years,
and they are scattered into the ma
jority of the states and into II for.
eign countries.
Standards for admission In 1892
were haZy, the catalogue stating
| that students must be able to an
alyze any ordinary arithmetical
problem, read any ordinary English
page fluently at sight, express
thoughts clearly in writing, answer
fairly well any questions on English
grammar, geography, history OF the
United States and history of North

years of age and in good health.
Today the requirements are stand
ardlzed. Applicants must have Is

MANEUVERS' FIELD
WORK TERMINATED
Approximately 100000 Men
Roll Into Camps Through
out CarOlinas Area
BY A. F.. LITTLEJOHN

CAMDEN, S. c., Nov. 29.-tR-
Weary but happy some 100000
field-toughened soldiers rolled into
their concentration camps scatter
ed throughout the Carolinas ma
neuver area today.
They were weary from two
weeks of gruelling mock warfare
under the watchful eyes of army
general headquarters. They were
happy that the field work W a S
over, that pay day was at hand,
and that for most of them long
furloughs were awaiting.
Officers and men Of the Fourth
Army corps and of the First and
Second, NOR ed divisions,
which comprised Major General
Oscar w. Griswold's Red army of
about 100000 in the maneuver
which ended late yesterday, con-
centrated in the western part of
the 10,O0O-square mile zone of op-
erations..
In the eastern and southern por-
ton, the 100000 officers and men
of Lieut.. Gen. Hugh A. DRUMS
First army-the Blue forces Of
maneuver-were rolling into their
camps, completing eight weeks of
intensive training.
The homeward journey will start
for some of the units early next
week. Exact leaving times wer e
not announced as it was explained
that these depended upon the time
when recommendation in field bases
was completed. No unit was ex-
pected to depart sooner than 48
hours after concentration.
For the Carolinas it was tn
last big pay day. More than $12,-
100000 was being distributed
among the troops. Relatively few,
however, were granted leaves for
this weekend, and therefore towns
OF the maneuver area and vicinity
did not expect the usual payday
rush of business.
After the holidays, the soldiers
will be given refresher work in
small unit training at their base
camps. They will also be given
much firing practice with all their
weapons.
Gen. Drum said, upon con-
clusion of the field program, that
his army could be ready for bat
tie with three or. four months OF
actual shooting.
While enlisted men and junior
officers were thinking of home and
leaves staff officers and the high
er ranks generally were studying
the lessons of the maneuver.
These will be discussed at fl
nal critique to be held at Wingate,
N. c., tomorrow morning, with
Lieut.. Gen. Lesley ]. McNair,
chief of staff of Army general
headquarters, in charge. 4

Patriotic Theme Urged
For Soldiers S Packages

Package wrappings for the men
in the service should be a tribute
both to their own patriotism and
to their special branch of the serv-
ice.
With this in mind, wonderful
variety of patriotic seals including
golden eagles, big silver battle.
ship on a blue sea for the Navy
men and the Statute of Liberty on
a shining star, have been created.
There are U. S. flag seals in all
sizes and even a Union Jack seal
for the Christmas packages of your
friends in the British services.
For our own men there are three
very special seals representing
each branch in our armed serv-
ices.
The Army seal is little figure
of an Army private in his tan
uniform.
The Seal for the Navy is a sailor
man in his blue service suit, and
the Air Corps has the seal of an
aviator in uniform. 2

You can bank on it that the
army, the navy, the marines and
the USO, are well under way with
plans to make this Christmas a
merry one for all the boys in the
service. But you can also rest
assured of the fact that the big
gest thrill of all, that those boys
will get this Yuletide, will be wrap
ped in packages on which the re-
turn address is HOME.
Choosing gifts for men in the
service is not so difficult a task
after all says Santa Claus after
prolonged consultation with the Of
ficials who know. The lives the
boys are now leading have chang
ed to the point where their de-
sires are easily defined.
The gifts should be useful, con-
tributing to their comfort, their
entertainment and also to their in
satiable appetite for sweets. The
gifts should be as compact and
as efficient as is their new way
of life. Here is a list that will help
you make your selection.
RADIO-He may have music
sports, and world news wherever
he goes if you remember to send
the battery operated model radio
in preference to the plug-in type.
SHAVING KIT - The compact
leather case packed with all shaw
ing needs even to an unbreakable
mirror would prove most welcome
and useful.
WRIST WATCH-When givin:
a watch, check as to whether i
is dustproof, waterproof, and per
The Wilmington morning star., 1941-11-30

haps most important Of all-shock-
proof. A reliable make with Sec
ond-hand that is guaranteed to keep
accurate time is the only type
watch to consider giving SOL
dier.
LUGGAGE-Every man in the
service gets leave, and he'll travel
in style with a trim suitcase that
does not take up too much room in
camp, yet will hold all essentials
needed for the longest leave grant
ed.
WRITING KIT-For use in linn
tied quarters, give a writing kit,
that holds not only writing paper,
but pen, pencil, bottle of ink, and
blotter, all zippered neatly into
one leather case.
FLASHLIGHT There is diver
sity of choice in flashlights, and
although the hand variety is mos
popular, there are new types that
clasp around the wrist or buckle
onto the belt, thus leaving both
hands free. Have his name en-
graved on it.
! CAMERAS-To give a camera
is to assure enough pictures o:
the boy who has gone away. Wher
giving this gift be sure to include {
good supply of films.
| SCARFS-The best and only tt
consider when giving scarf O.
other wearing apparel, is the ira
ditional army color, Olive drab
For added warmth make the fabri
, choice wool and send gloves t
match.
HANDKERCHIEFS-Most arm
