NOW. Forget the thermometer -
best time to start thinking about
Christmas presents for your man
overseas is right now. 1t takes weeks
to handle packages for men all over
the world. Result: Presents and
Christmas cards MUST be mailed be-
tween September Is and October l5.
Here are the rules for this year.
First, you are allowed to enclose a
greeting - but it must be a greeting,
moi message. You may say merry
Christmas''or Love and Best Wish
es for Merry Christmas. And you
may sign your name. But you may
not say: Write as soon as you re-
ceive this" or anything else that
can be interpreted as message.
Another rule permits you to label
your package do not open until
Christmas.
Other important rules to be OBJ
served: Your package must not weigh
more than five pounds, should not be
more than IS inches long, or So inches
in length and girth combined. Candy
and fruitcake are perishables, should
be packed in tin boxes.
GIFT HINTS: From Red Cross
worker who spent last Christmas with
combat troops comes streamlined
advice on gifts the boys want. Snap
shots of the family are a MUST.
Next come little luxuries they can't
get in battle areas. Books head the
list, preferably pocket editions of
mysteries and fast-moving yarns -
but no heavy reading.
Other favorites are pocket-sized
games and windproof-type cigarette
lighters. Canvas shower slippers rate

tops - if you tried to take shower
in an open-air jungle bath you'd
know why. They'll thank you for
non-leather writing portfolios with
no gadgets except place for your
picture; watches; alarm clocks; an
extra comb. From the girl back home
who wants to send something per-
sonal, a silver dog-tag chain goes over
big. Tobacco, cigarettes, playing
cards are welcome. But remember the
best gift of all: mail in time.

propaganda pronouncements that
the Nazis will apply the scorched-
earth policy ahead of Gen. Dwight

incided last night with an Allied

underground.
In the fifth of series of broad
casts by supreme headquarters of
the Allied expeditionary force, a
spokesman for Gen. Eisenhower told
patriots across the Channel to keep
their f1re-control units ready be-
cause the fire danger in the battle
zones would be great from bombs,
artillery and German incendi-
arism."
The underground also was re-
minded to brush up on its first aid
because "the war may well pass
quickly and leave its casualties be-
hind"
AS the German propaganda mill
churned out its assortment of fact
and fancy, much of it obviously de-
signed to bring fear to the waiting
invasion forces, roundabout report
told Of the killing N five American
airmen in Germany "by agitated
people"
This story came from the Berlin
correspondent of the Stockholm
newspaper Aftonbladet who said it
was told to him by "a traveller from
Leipzig"
The correspondent said he was

Gilmore said, to estimate their full
significance.
Iasi is about 1S0 miles northeast
of the Ploesti oil fields. The Ger
mans have claimed the Red Army
was massing its forces for a drive
on that source of fuel supply.
Moscow also reported fighting
northwest of Vitebsk in White Rus
sia in the north, declaring Red
Army troops beat back a German
drive, killing 400 of the enemy.

In the third place, they see no
