Men on our ships at sea often re-

Fathers Poor Correspondents.
Fathers are notoriously poor cor
respondents in many families, but
the most frequent queries from the
boys in camp or at sea are invariably
what is Dad doing?" Therefore it
might be a good idea for Dad to take
his fountain pen or typewriter in
hand more often and give the news
from man to man. He will enjoy do
ing it, too, once he gets started.
Chaplain Arnold of the Army and
Chaplain Workman of the Navy re-
peatedly emphasize in their charges
to the chaplains under them that
nothing keeps a recruits morale
up to greater extent than writing
to and hearing from his family and
friends frequently.

entire round of ship or camp be-

Family snapshots with a humor-
GUS angle always give pleasure, as
do ones of pets in various poses.
One family of dog lovers often sends
picture of its dog taken with its
various members above the sigma
ture of each Of the humans and the
dogs paw print in ink.
Ingenuity and originality are well
come fare in the letters to service
men, and the trick of humor blesses
recipient and sender alike, but be-
yond all else is the deep-seated ap-
probation of the thoughtfulness
that took the time to express itself
in a letter or a card or a little gift.

Magazines and books, interesting
ones that you would enjoy yourself
