WE, THE WOMEN Papa May Get GI Loan, But Mama Will Spend It
WE. THE WOMEN.

The government says 1t is going to make you loans for education, homes, etc Don't count too much on just how the loan is going to be used. For the little woman is go- ing to have her say about that. FOR BETTER OR WORSE
 And you may find yourself liv- ing in strictly modern house in- stead of the colonial cottage you always dreamed of. You may even find yourself enrolled in a college instead of going into busi- ness as you once planned.
 Sure, it's your loan = as you'n discover when you go to pay it back. But its going to be "ours'' when you get 1t. and the woman you took for better or for worse is going to help you spend it. You probably won't mind, of course, but you should k1ow-in case you had counted on something else.

Any wound on the hand should be promptly and thoroughly washed, preferably with boiled water. If this is not. available, wash it with clean warm water. Scrub the skin around the injury with soap and water. Wipe dry with 8 clean cloth, apply two per cent idoine or some other antiseptic with a toothpick swab, and cover the injury with clean dressing. If you do not have sterile dressing at hand, take an old handkerchief and iron it quickly with a hot iron. Being careful to touch only the edges. fold it and apply to the wound. Fasten 1t on with a bandage or with adhesive tape.
 All members of the family should be taught that it is danger GUS to put an injury, even one as small as a pin prick, in the mouth to suck the blood. The mouth har- bors many kinds of bacteria that may cause serious infection.
 The use of a soiled handkerchief to cover an injury is also a danger ous practice, because the handker- chief is contaminated with nose and throat infection.
 If clean dressing is not irn- mediately available 1t is better to leave the wound exposed to the open air until proper care can be given, than to cover it with a soiled handkerchief. A moderate amount of bleeding will help to wash away the germs that may have entered, and will do no harm if not continued long.
 The hands are so important in the business of living that no chances should be taken with in- fections that might result in the loss of finger, if not the whole hand.

military toys.
BY EPSIE KINARD NEA Staff Writer


 Military toys for the kiddies divide honors equally this Christmas with those "'miniatures of life" which re- fleet home-front interests in victory farming, postwar housing, war wed- dingS and "I-made-it-myself" sew ing and needlecraft projects.
 Although Santa will go on his ap- pointed rounds, his pack will be lighter than ever this year, and youngsters will be lucky to find their second or third choices in toys un- der the tree, for everything needed to make toys is scarce and there is a critical shortage of expert labor.
 Even so, toy departments are well stocked and survey of the lines gives assurance that children aren't going to be deprived of their fun. Arsenals bristle with anti-aircraft guns, howitzers and Springfield riffs.
 Harbors teem with battlewagons. Skies over airfields are dotted with suspended paratroopers, and on the ground are plastic replicas of planes of all countries for little boys to paint in as many as 10 different colors Supplied with package) if they want to try their hands at catnouflage.
 For older boys there are new house e-building assemblies complete with actual architectural blue-printS and all the materials needed for erecting the postwar dream home in miniature. Also building proj- ects for creating entire villages, and with the house assemblies come lit- tie figures of people to populate these communities.
 The little boy whose imagina- tion is stirred by talk of victory farming and gardening can satisfy his yearnings to roll up his sleeves with toy horse-drawn drays filled with feed sacks and milk cans; farm jeeps loaded with planters tools: replicas of farm animals; boxed sets of seed and earth filled pots in which to grow them.
 For little girls who like to initiate their mothers there are small-size baby grand pianos with enough keys to practice scales and play sim pie tunes; dressnaking sets which include doll-Size commercial pat

SPECIAL SERVICE OFFICE BIDS REC HALL GOODBYE

Should auld acquaintance be forgot?" etc. The Base Special Service Office, which for over two years has been hidden in the rear of the Recreation Hall, will be moved across the street into the building that was formerly occu- pied by the United States Engin- eers.
 With the expansion of the dut- ies of the Special Service Depart ment, the old familiar offices, on- stage and back-stage of the Rec Hall, proved inadequate for the proper functioning of the various branches. The removal of the off ces will eliminate the use of the stage of the Rec Hall where new corners to the Office, it has been reported, have often suffered from stage-fright. Since the Special Service Department is made up of many functions such as Army Em- ergency Relief, orientation and ed- ucation, theater management, li- braries, athletics and recreation, Base newspaper and other duties relating to soldier welfare, morale and entertainment, the larger quar- ters will greatly facilitate the work of the staff.
 Henceforth, in addition to tele- phone extension POS, another ex- tension, 276, will be added to re- lieve the strain of callers hearing the steady 'Fbuzz" of the busy sig nal.
 From today on, the Base Special Service Office will be located in Building 341.
