BOYS MUST PAY
 FOR AIR MAILS
Public Misunderstands the Postal Regulations GOv-
 erning Servicemen

Wedding invitations and an- nouncements are among mailed items which do not fall within the free mail privilege classification re- gently drawn up for the benefit of servicemen, according to an an- nouncement made by postal officials. A misunderstanding by the public that men in military have unlimited free use of the mails has resulted in the issuance of a list of material which may and may not be mailed without postage.
 Items which may be sent free of charge include letters, both social and business, photographs and neg atives when accompanying letters, cards, and election ballots. The items may be mailed free While the servicemen are on duty or spending furloughs.
 Among material for which post age is required are: air mail, reg iStered or insured mail, circular let ters, packages, newspaper clippings unless enclosed with letters and forming only an incidental feature, cards exceeding the postcard size and consisting mainly of cartoons or other printed matter, pictorial fold CTS. photographic film sent for de- velopment, large mounted photo graphs, advertising material, letters bills or other material pertaining to private business of a serviceman, and envelopes or cards endorsed by a member of the armed forces for use of others.

'STASSEN PLANS
 AID TO SOLDIERS
 AFTER THE WAR
By JOHN KELLY

 Limited Press Stan Correspondent
 St. Paul, Minn., July le-tUP)- The state of Minnesota is preparing to provide financial aid for its 'sol- diers when they return from the war.
 State officials are considering the creation of s10,OOO, 900 soldier rehabilitation fund, which Gov. Harold s. Stassen said would "refit returning service men for civilian life"
 The program still is in q forma- tive stage, and 1t requires legisla- tive approval. The rehabilitation proposal was outlined by Stassen as part of a 1O-point program de- signed to prepare the state for re- adjustments which will be neces- sary in the postwar period.
 Minnesota recognizes its debt to those of its men now serving in the far corners of the world" stassen said
 Reserves to Finance , Tt is the responsibility of the state to formulate program which will aid returning soldiers to start again in civilian life with the mini mum of disruption"
 Under terms of the governors proposal, the fund would be, fi- nanced from the states general revenue reserves and administered by a special commission authorized to make loans or outright grants in aid in individual cases.
 'It is essential that the adminis- tration of the fund be flexible, and that the type and amount of aid granted vary with the individual nede," Stassen said.
 And 1t is especially important that such aid be immediately avail- a.lye upon the soldiers return in order that there be no extended period of dislocation."
 Predicts Federal Help
 Stassen predicted that some form of federal grant, probably 8 bonus, eventually would be made to sol- diers after the war, but he said there probably would be 8 time lag between the soldiers return and the time the federal grandt would be mad eavailable.
 The state fund, he said, would be a bridge between the time the sol- dier leaves the army and the time federal funds will be available.
 Resources of the state fund, he said, would be used to provide an educational training program through which training in the re-. spective branches of the service could be adapted to civilian purs !, suits while provision likewise would be made to grant special farm loans, special unemployment bu- reaus, and to provide transportas tion to employment areas. -
 Disbursement of funds, If the program is approved by the legisla- ture,p Stassen said, would rest largely at the discretion of the ads ministrative commission"

SAYS CHILDREN DEPEND ABLE IN
 WAR EMEREGNCY
By CoRRTNE HARDEsTY

By CORRINE MARDESTY Limited Press Stan C0rrespendens)
 New York, July i8-WP)-Ireene Wicker, who as radios singing lady has entertained thousands of ci1gl- dren in peacetime, said today the best way to handle youngsters fin the excitement of war is to give them something to do.
 Miss Wicker, who has been aEnus- ing children and grown-ups since she was 12 when she played in sum- mer stock, recently augmented her experience in dealing with the young with courses in child psy- chology and day nursery routine.
 "It has. been shown through studies made on children in war areas" Miss Wicker said, as she sat in her sunny apartment relating her experience in settlement house work where she put her talents to wartime uses, "that children rapid ly mature in wartime.
 "The best thing to do, to keep them from going to pieces from emotional strain, as many children did in England under the early bombings, is to give them small tasks to work at."
 Prefer Learn First Aid
 Miss Wicker said the smallest child in the settlement was given some chore, even if 1t was nothing more than bringing 8 candle to blackout drill.
 "One five year old boy was de- lighted to be a salvage worker , Miss Wicker related. He collected twice as much rubber as some of the adults, and he insisted on being paid his penny for every pound of it.
 Children in wartime tire of their usual games. They don't want to play blindman's buff. They want to learn elementary first aid. The older ones enjoy learning how to help the younger ones."
 Miss Wicker said she belongs to the school of thought that believes in explaining war dangers to chil- dren, but not in frightening them
 Teach Singing Games
 Children can be given courage and taught to take care of them- selves," she said, Eff adults explain the dangers of war emergencies without frightening the wits out of the little ones.
 Many times the young are more dependable in an emergency than older people. They are nearly al- ways clear thinkers because they are not inhibited by lot of old thought patterns"
 Miss Wicker taught settlement house group a number of songs and stories to use in amusing younger children during raids or blackouts
 "The children like best the fa- miliar stories," she said, such as Jack and the Beanstalk, Sleeping Beauty and Snow White. We also taught them many singing games
 Miss Wicker pointed out that the mistake made in England, of sepa- rating children from parents should be avoided. She said day nurseries which keep children neal their parents, working in war in dustries, was the course being fol- lowed in England now and the one to be used here.

 q: Why do modern Jews revere Saadia ben Joseph, who died in the year 942?
 A: Jewish scholars recall Saa- dia ben Joseph as an outstand- ing scholar at the time when the center of Jewish life veered from Palestine to Babylonia. He not only enriched Jewish lore and guarded Jewish unity, but, ac- cording to Ma.monides. saved the Torai1 from disappearing from the midst of Israel. He also was said to have shown the need for the separation os church and state.

MT. TOM POND

Today went down to the pond again, I found new friends down there, They came from very far away To breathe this wholesome air. I sat down quite while And watched the waves roll by, I watched the boats out on the water But saw no fish to fry. I watched the clouds above And wondered when 1t would rain. We saw the other shore, And said that sometime in the future Wed surely come again. found still other friends, They came from far and near, To view the old familiar pond, And get another cheer. Today 1t thundered very hard And the rain came pouring down. It beat upon the window pane, And watered all the ground. It shook our little cottage The thunder was so loud But now the day is fine again Without Speck of cloud Again the girls went out to swim As they do just every day. The water is 50 clean and warm They cannot stay away.
 They 10 there in the morning, And they go there in the night, But always when the sun is shining And always shining very bright. go there very often
 But come back home again, There always find the best place Whenever the sun Is shining, CT whenever 1t may rain.
