There are two sets of factors
bearing on morale, Stevens finds:
camp and training; 2-recrea-
tional. A number of things enter
into the latter "and one of them is
simply the relative sizes of the
camp and the nearest town."
Most men want to get away
from any planned recreation"
Stevens says, "and anything with
a welfare or social work tint is
unpopular. The only group of peo-
pie who have furnished the army
with something else to do are the
private operators of tent-shows,
carnivals, roller-skating rinks and,
most of all, the juke joints.
There is no more thoroughly
American institution than the juke
joint, with its freedom, complete
informality, and democratic CANA

Survey Gives Soldiers "Rules"
For Good Morale In Army G amps

LERE are the American soldiers
l own specifications for good
army morale:
l. Fair treatment.
2. Complete freedom and variety"
when on leave.
3. Decent, hospitable attitud g Q
among local townspeople near
camps, making him feel he's "as
good as anyone else"
4. First class training and straight
talk from his superiors on what
the war is about, so he can feel
he's getting something tangible
out of his experience in the army.
These rules" are based on find-
ings made in dozen training
camps and all sorts Of places out
side by Alden Stevens, widely ex-
perienced sociologist and writer.
His report appeared in Survey
Graphic.
THE building of army camp
morale calls for positive action
now," Stevens declares. You have
to provide the conditions that make
for good morale-then you will get
it. No mere words cooked up In
Washington are going to be effec-
tive unless the fundamental re-
quirements for good morale are
present"

DEFENSE BOND
@ U IL

Q. What is the Treasury's un-
derlying thought in avoiding a
pressure campaign to sell Defense
Savings Bonds and Stamps?
A. The belief that the American
public is anxious to aid to the limit
in defense of the Nation, and also
wants to save money for future
needs, especially since such savings
will help to keep down the cost of
living.
@. Should I buy Defense Saw
ings Stamps at retail stores rather
than at post offices and banks?
A. Buy stamps wherever it is
most convenient. The important
thing is to purchase Stamps as Of
ten as you can, and exchange the
completed Stamp album for De-
fense Savings Bond.
Note. = To buy Defense Bonds
and Stamps, go to the nearest post
Office, bank, or savings and loan as
sociation; or write to the Treasurer
of the United States, Washington,
D. c. Also Stamps are now on sale
at retail stores.

Shave Essentials S

For Trainees
BY DORIS DALE

Following through for the Yule-
tide on their "Shaves for the Boys"
campaign, a group of New York's
most glamorous society girls, have
asked me to tell you ladies about
the kind of gifts they are sending
the boys in camp.
In line with their campaign to
provide the minor necessities not
distributed by the Government to
trainees, "Shaves for the Boys"
Committees in New York and
Hollywood are reminding the pub
lie to send utilitarian gifts, par
ticularly shaving creams, razor
blades and after-shaves lotions,
which rank high in every survey
Of trainees' list of wants, as do
tooth-pastes and tooth-brushes.
The "Shaves for the Boys" Com
mittee was founded by the society

match civilian purchases with
comparable shaving essential gifts

headquarters on Delaware Avenue

tion, I am authorized to offer
quarters in the T. B. building at
1908 Delaware Avenue for the use
of Visiting Nurses" she said. "They
are at present using IL rooms at
Red Cross headquarters. That
space is urgently needed. 1 think
they should be made an offer of
new quarters" In her report of
the recent Red Cross Roll Call,
Mrs. Arnold, chairman, said that a
total of 69,373.85 had been raised
The special gifts committee, Lam
mot DUPONT, Jr., chairman, raised
$47,889.04. The city committee

NO PAY FOR BLACK0UT

While workers cannot waive
their rights to time and one-half

fense securities, it was announced
this week by Frank j. G. Dorsey,
regional director of the Wage and
Hour Division, u. S Department of
Labor. Employees or employers
cannot change the Fair Labor
Standards Act by waving the
overtime provision" Director Dor
esy said. However, if workers
voluntarily wish to make contri-
button to the Victory Program,
they may agree with their employ
ers to accept overtime compensa-
ton in defense bonds or stamps. In
that way they would be aiding the
prosecution of the war and building
up for themselves safe type of

'Sanitized Mattress
Fresh, Clean, Hygienic

When mattress has been 'sani-
tized' it becomes germ resistant
and odor repellent-two most desir-
able qualities. The new mattress
you buy may be clean and hygienic
when purchased, but you can
readily understand that the ordinary
(unsanitized) mattress will not nec-
essarily remain truly sanitary for
long when in use in the home.
There are germs in the air.
Germs picked up in handling. Germs
from sleepers' bodies. All these
can get into the ticking of the or
binary mattress and there they
thrive. The very warmth and
moisture of a sleeping body pro-
vides ideal conditions for bacteria
to breed and offensive perspiration
odors to develop. Although a care
full housekeeper changes her bed
linens frequently, she can't launder
her mattress, and no matter how
thoroughly she brushes and airs it,
she doesn't in that way get full pro-
lection and peace of mind.
Sanitized ticking definitely inhibits
germ growth. Even the tough
hard-to-kill staphylococcus aureus
(the standard germ organism used
in the U. S. government approved
tests Of antiseptic efficiency does
not breed and multiply in the sani-
tized ticking.
Sanitized ticking resists formation
of offensive body odor. A normal
PERSONS perspiration is odorless as
it leaves the body. 1t is the decom-
position of perspiration by bacteria
that gives rise to unpleasant odors.
By preventing the action of such
bacteria, the sanitized mattress
stays fresh, clean-smelling and hy-
gienic.

|AIRFIELD FOR
SUSSEX COUNTY
County Commissioners Vote
For $4,000 Bond Issue;
WPA and CAA Help
WOULD COST $446,5O0

The Sussex County Levy Court
Commissioners, in session to dis
cuss the advisability of bonding the
county for $4,000 for the purchase
of land for an airport, have decided
in the affirmative. Much, however,
depends on the course the Federal
Government will take. If it does
not approve certain supplemented
statements of the commissioners,
there is slight chance that the air.
field will be built. Agitation for
the airport has continued since last
spring, but at that time there was
already bonded Indebtedness of
$25, 900 for additions to the Sussex
County prison, and the law had
stated that a county could not be
bonded for more than this sum.
Under statute passed at the last
session of legislature, this ruling
was waived. According to the
commissioners, there are certain
undesirable features. Clauses in
the government call for the county
to maintain the airport during and
after an emergency. The airport
would cost $446, $1,000, with WPA
allotment for the work ct at $685.
500. The CAA also would allot to
the WPA for non-labor the sum of
$16O, 900. Four hundred acres would
be required for the field. On Fri
day engineers of the State High
way Department began initial sur
veys for suitable site.

OYSTER TONGERS SCARCE
200 Less Oyster Tongers Apply for
Licenses This Year

Licenses This Year
Oyster tongers are forsaking
their trade for more lucrative jobs
in national defense industries. Sta
tistics reveal that the number of
tongers applying for licenses this
yea has dropped nearly 200 nuder
the total issued last year. Records
also show that AL tongers had OBJ
tanned licenses by December 16 this
year, as compared with a figure of
635 last year. A decrease in the
number of river dredging licenses
was noted. Only 16 had applied
for licenses this December 16, less
than half the total granted last
year. Packers in Cambridge are
relying upon outside scources for
the bulk of their oysters. 1t was
estimated that packers derive only
from 10 to 20 per cent to the total
pack from the Choptank River, de-
pending chiefly on Annapolis, the
Potomac, the head of the Chesa-
peake Bay and other souces for
