MILITARY POLICE
 ALWAYS ON ALERT
New England Soldiers On Job So Others May Rest
 in Security

Soldiers throughout New England will maintain "a constant alert, that others may work and rest in se- curity." Tkis is particularly true, during the Christmas holidays af the security troops, the Provisional Military Police Command, under Brigadier General Thomas D. Trc. land of the First Service Command
 Wherever there are installations important to the war effort or Co the Army, there you will find men of the Corps of Military Police. They are on "a constant alert" against possible invasion, against sabotage. against everything that is against New England's security.
 Many of these important posts are in isolated, out of the way cor- ners. Despite their seeming lonell- ness, they are not forgotten men, least of all by their commanding general.
 General Troland had these men in thought when he sent his word of Christmas cheer to his command scattered over the four corners of New England. The text follows:
 'As we approach the Christmas Season, our second Far Christmas, we are completing tho first year of service for most of this command. Our battalions have all been actl. vated and trained during the past year. You have grown strong, ac- quired many new Skills and tech- niques and are now trained and ready for the performance Of . var iety of internal security duties. Our mission is to be the strong right arm of tn eCommanding Gen. eral, First Service Command, In the enforcement of his plans for the protection of a wide and most i'm. portant industrial and war produc. tion area. We train and watch, maintaining a constant alert, that others may work and rest in secur. ity.
 You have met and overcome the challenge of many obstacles. You have learned ito experience tha thrill that is known only by the strong. Though the path of duty has led you far from home, be fner. ry in your hearts this Christmas, knowing that through your efforts and those of your comrades in arms. the Christmas Message of old will come true and peace will reign on earth"

New Haven, Conn. Dec, 2a-Thg Connecticut state Medical Society has Issued the following statement and suggestions to the people oI Connecticut on medical care In war. tlmes
 1t does not appear that there will be an immediate shortage Of phy- Sicians in my community in this state but the entry into military service Of lagre number of Con. nectleut doctors has created the nc. cessity for a careful consideration of available medical service in or. der that lt may be made to meet the demands of the care Of our people.
 Tn order to aid tho best and most efficient utilization of physicians time, the Connecticut State Medical Society makes these suggestions to the people Of Connecticut.
 l. Call physician to your home only when necessary. Go to hls of- flee when you can.
 3 Help your physician to plan proper use of his time by calling him before nine o'clock in tho morn. ing, whenever possible.
 3. Have on examination at the first sign of sickness, This helps to prevent long and serious illness,
 1. Some conditions require treat" ment in the hospital but hospitals are crowded and If your physician is able to take care Of yor at home you arc urged to follow his advice,
 6. When you call your physl. clans office by telephone do not insist on speaking to him. Tele- phone conversations are often pro. lonHed and take valuable time. Give your message to his nurse or office attendant.
 c, You may not know that every physician left in civilian practice is probably doing e lot of extra work in industry and public health and serving with draft and induction boards SO that the demands upon his time arc ever increasing, Help your doctor to conserve his health by avoiding unnecessary responsi. bilities for him and do not expect

 Models Hang Everywhere
 That example Is told to students at the Army Ar Forces Flexible 0unnery School at Tyndali Field to impress upon them the impor. tafaco of the aircraft recognition course which Is part Of their training.
 Many hours are spent in class. rooms learning how to tell enemy planes from friendly aircraft 50 that no American gunner will shoot
 And, outside of tho classroom, plane silhouetteS and models sur- round the student throughout the five-week gunnery course.
 Hanging in each squadronA day. room are models and silhouettes of Messerschmitts, Heinkels, JunkerS Mitsubishis, Zeros, Flats, Macchis and other enemy aircraft. as well as Beauighters, Hurricanes and other Allied planes, including American Army and Navy ships.
 When the student gunner goes 0 the mess hall for chow. he en- counters more models.
 Use WET system
 when he shaves in the morning, hanging down from the ceiling of the washroom are accurately built models Of the aircraft he will en. counter when he becomes e member of the combat crew of . United States bombing plane.
 Classroom instruction begins with stress on the fact that plane recog- hilton Is a vital factor in estimat- ing range of the approaching air- craft.
 Insignia painted on planes of the different belligerent nations arc described and the WEFT system Of Identification Is taught. The WEFT initials refer to wings, engine, fuse- iage and tail--the points at which the gunner looks to distinguish be- tween the different planes.
 Also taught Is a course in recog- hilton of ships of the various navies and of tanks used by belligerent countries.

HOLLYWOOD, April by
the time you read this, the peo-
pie of Shreveport, La, will be
learning that their police, fire
and building commissioner, Mr..
James Davis, has been gallivant-
ing around in the movies. AS a
composer, singer and actor, COM
plete to theatrical makeup,
sprayed larynx and dudiSh west
ern costume, he has made
enough money in few days to
dwarf his wage during his whole
Carecr-eXpectanCy as guardian
of public safety.
After talkinW with Cor listen
ing to- Commissioner James Da
Wis on the set of movie called
Strictly in the Groove | can
imagine his own constituents in
Louisiana will be far less sur
priSed than other movie fans by
his a-electoral activities.
For instance, the voters of
Shreveport must know by now
that Jimmy Davis is an odd COM
bination of scholar, yodeler,
Crooner, composer and politician.
They may even know that he has
written and recorded some 800
songs, and that the sheet music
royalties on just one of them,
You Are My Sunshine have
topped $4,000. OF course, sheet
music sales are very poorly these
days, but Davis has the cheer
ing assurance that the same song
has sold about 100000 records,
one Of the biggest hits on the
siX-gun and ix-Strinl guitar
radio programs.
DUMB LIKE A FOX
Davis is tall, lean, bluc-cyCd,
gliStcning-toothed, and has a
confidential drawing, manner
which in this part of the coun-
try doubles for charming, home
spun naivete. Davis is charming,
all right, but he is about as sim
pie as AZ foxes. He's due back
at Universal in May for an
other picture and probably will
wind up with 81 per cent of the
studio.
