Men Aboard Cruiser Make Tree
For Christm0s Party at Sea

I can even remember when Dad
and We children used to spend half
an hour deciding which tree out OF
all those In the Virginia Maryland
countryside we would finally cut
down.
Great excitement reigned on those
expeditions into the nearby coun-
try around Washington for that
very special tree for Christmas.
Then Dad spent another half hour
trying to prevent his two sons and
small daughter from cutting of
leg each in the process of cutting
down that perfect tree. Besides
there was always the aftermath OF
scratched car tenders, that mother
was sure to examine, especially If the
car were a new model.
Yes, definitely, this Navy way of
producing Christmas tree has GER
tain merits. 1t was fun, too, using
our wits to set up this reminder of
other Christmas trees. OF this I am
very sure, no Christmas tree ever
has meant more to 800 men bob
olng about In the middle of an
ocean several thousand miles away
from home. In the heart of every
one Of us 1t had special signifi-
canoe as a symbol Of what Christ
mas means.
We had a Christmas party, with
Santa Claus and presents. too.
Christmas morning, instead of wax
ing us for the dawn alert with the
general alarm, they played Jingle
Bells on set of brass chimes, and
when they announced the weather
they said it was showing" OF
course, when we got up on deck it
mysteriously had "just stopped"
Orchestra Well Received.
At 1000 we went back between the
catapults for the party. Our Or
chestra had practiced all week. 1t
made up in volume what it lacked
in f1nesse and skill. Not even the
Philadelphia Orchestra ever had a
more enthusiastic acceptance Of its
efforts. The colored mess attend
ants had quartet that was splen-

BY JESSIE FAINT EVANS,

A Washingtonian wrote this letter
home about Christmas Day last year
aboard United States cruiser on q
distant patrol in one Of our Allied
sea lanes.
As 1t Is significant of the way our
American boys are meeting new sit
uations and INTERVENING them with
the traditions and ideals OF their
former backgrounds, I submit 1t az
an example of the spirit of Christ
mas they are carrying in their
hearts at this season Of the year.
Here Is the letter:
Dear Family:
Joyce Kilmer said that "only God
could make a tree" He didn't have
in mind United States sailor away
from home when he wrote this, ]
am very sure.
On board our cruiser we had only
the lights that 90 on a tree when
you have tree.
BY putting our wits to work we de-
cided the only things necessary for
a tree were: A broomstick, metal
coat hangers from those who pos
sessed them, brown paper and paint
We drilled holes in the broom
stick, cut the coat hangers into
lengths and inserted them into the
pole at graduated intervals, cut the
brown paper to simulate cedar
boughs, and then sprayed the crea-
ton with green paint. Lo and be-
hold, We had a creditable Christmas
tree.
Cans Provide Ornaments.
Since we had the lights, the other
decorations were quite simple. Out
of the tops and bottoms Of tin cans
we cut stars, crescents and many
other designs. We even essayeo
Christmas tree angels out of the
large-size juice cans. We sprayed
our ornaments with white paint
then threw EPSON salts on the wei
paint of the tree and ornaments fol
a really wonderful sparkle. Anc
there we were with Christmas tree
complete with trimmings and almost
every touch of home! You see, lift
does not need to be as complicated
as people sometimes make it.

Medical and Dental Corps.
The conferring Of degrees and the

sented commissions.
Counsels Patience.
Gen. Kirk told the newly-grad-
uated doctors that they were en-
tering upon the practice of medi-
cine at time when great strides
are being made in the science. The
rate OF death from disease in the
Army, for example, he said, has
been cut during this war to 6 per

new doctods to do even better than
that"
Lester Granger, secretary of the
National Urban League, warned the
graduates that "portentous" years
lie ahead for the Negro race. To

toward the Negroes will ever i'm

Nothing is impossible in the field
Of social endeavor," he said.
