This week our prize hero is a modest
little guy who all by himself sent the
morale of the Federated Press office
rocketing to the stars.
1t started when the postman dumped
pile of third-cass mail outside 0ui
door and crowned it with package
wrapped in plain brown paper. we
quickly tore off the paper and dis
covered nesting inside of two prOsalt
cigar boxes seven of the most beautiful
shell necklaces ever seen this side OF
the Pacific.
The sender was Seabee David Reiff
n member of the American Newspaper
Guild, who doesn't eonfine his gener-
osity to old friends at ZIP. Practically
every month he sends goOd-sized
chunk of his pay to The Guild Re
porter. So now all the girls in the FTP
office are wearing the necklaces-and
still inside the exquisitely- shaped shells
are grains of sand from the South
Pacific isle where Reiff Is fighting the
Japanese. Thanks for looking after the
home front, Davie.

TRENDS OF WAR

The Germans were on the run this week! As their troops, tanka and planes fled before the advanc. ing Soviet Army of General Vatu. tin, the Nazi radio began prepar, ing the German public for what we'll may be the worst defeat Hit Ter has suffered since Stalingrad.
 Only a few short weeks ago, the Germans were hammering towards Kiev in smashing counter-offen. siye. The Russians fell back. Sud. denly, like a boxer who has been holding his Sunday punch, the Rus. sians smacked the onrushing Nazia at the head of their advance and sent them reeling towards Russian. Poland. With the fall of Korosten, Nazi rail communications were bad ly disrupted. Finally, when the Sov. tets took Zhitomir, the German supply lines were forced to reform, using functions up to 100 miles to the rear from which to route mili- tary materiel. In the North, the Siege of Leningrad, which has never been lifted, seems to be com ing towards it's end. The First Rus sian Baltic Army is driving down on Nevel and the offensive seems directed at recapturing Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. ~ General Dougles MacArthur's men struck at Jap-held islands again. Saidor, on the north coast of New Guinea, was invaded by the men of the 32nd Division. They met no opposition. Behind this op- eration, was the need for cutting off a large number of Japanese troops who are battling Australian forces few miles north of Bluch- CT Point, which is few miles north of Finschafen. AS a result of this move, the Japs are threatened with total extinction in this fighting zone.
 One of the worst snow storms in 20 years made the fighting in North Italy seem like natures bat tie against man. But despite wealth CT that grounded all aircraft, Ann erican troops struggled up three mountain peaks and captured them, pushing closer to the road to Rome. On the Adriatic coast the Canadian troops are pressing the Germans at the stronghold of Pescara. Com mando type raids are being used by the Allies in Italy in order to knock the Germans off-balance.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT YOUR INSURANCE?

Some of those few soldiers who have not taken out their full quota of National Service Life Insurance may have been influenced by the erroneous idea that it would be of benefit only to their dependents and little more than burden to themselves. Actually there are sey- eral real benefits to the holders of the policies. Here is one, for exam pie.
 If the holder becomes totally dis abled for period of six months o1 more, the premiums on his insur. ance will be waived. In other words he will not need to pay them dur. ing disability. During the period of disability, if the insurance has been in force more than year, the pol icy may be converted from term insurance to one of the other per manent types and the government will pay the premiums on that.
 The new policy will build up a cash value for the holder, and he will still have all the rights of per sons paying their own premiums. The important thing to remember, however, is that the insurance must be in effect before disability. The smart thing for any soldier, in other words, is to take out his fun coverage at once.

 Within week of the publication mail call at the WAC company be. came a chore for Virginia, and ev cry day added to the pile of letters that arrived from soldiers all over the United States.

who liked the looks of the little Virginia girl who was shown baking a cake.
 Several of them proposed, nearly all of them wanted a reply to let ters and they were unanimous in their enthusiasm for Virginia.
 The mail from overseas has not yet started to arrive, but If the views of the soldiers in this coun. try are any criterion, the "V" let ters will be equally enthusiastic.
 Cpl. Kilgore is a native of St Paul, Virginia, and when the pie ture was made by a TANK pho tographer, was the baker for the WAC Section. Since that time she has been transferred to the Spe. cial Service Office where she is working as a bookkeeper.
 Cpl. Kilgore says that her new duties will prevent her from an swering all the letters, but she is using most of her spare time now in replying to letters received from servicemen in hospitals.

What Kind of World Does Soldier
 Want After the War

In these days of chaos and des- truction when guns are turned against guns, INT against INT, men against men, armies against armies, and nations against na- tions, there is little time left for realistic thinking among the serv- ice men about what to expect after the war. There. is one thing that the soldier does not want and that is a world torn apart by maladjust- ment, confusion, enmity and all the forces which breed destruction and wars.
 There is thought upon the mind of the average soldier, amid the mud in the slit trenches, the dodg ing of the shrapnel, the cold, wet, chilly temperature, which gives the soldier ray of hope and consola- tion. That is: my posterity shall never have to fight war and suf- fer under the conditions which l am going through.
 We in the armed forces have only one objective in mind and that is winning the war and returning home at the earliest possible time, so that we may pick up where we left off some three, four or five years ago, and start life over in the democratic way which we have been taught. Under conditions it is necessary for us to leave the type of world we want to live in, in the hands of politicians and magis- trates until such time as we re- turn to civilian life or have a bet. ter opportunity of thinking out carefully the problems that tend to make a better world order and the proper-functioning democratic ma. chinery.
 The soldiers in the army have learned the lessons of humility, obedience, discipline of heart and soul to the unseen objective of vic. tory. They have learned the sim- plicity of human understanding; of getting along with fellow-man in close compartments; of sharing the burdens and hardships, and the pri- vation of battle conditions. They have learned also the need for CO., operation, for self-preservation; they have learned the meaning of devotion to God; they know bet ter and understand better the at- tributes of God and His All-Wise Wisdom in the hour of need.
 All of these things we have a right to expect and demand in the new world that will come after this war. If these noble characteristics of human understanding are sabo- tagged by would-be dictators and demagogues, the shadow of the de- ceased on the field of battle will rise up in never-ending stream of ghosts to haunt for evermore the American people. Such sacri- flee on the part of our soldiers would have been in vain and with out just compensation.
 Definitely we want new world order with the four freedoms: Freedom of Worship; Freedom of Speech; Freedom of the Press, and Freedom from Fear and Want, as the basis to repay the suffering and sacrifice which the peoples of the world have paid in blood. We want world subjected to the ideals of the lowly Galilean who walked upon the shores of Galilee over two thousand years ago. This alone is the soldiers desire for the future.

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS
 

Q. If a soldier is convicted of desertion, does his family allow. ance stop?
 A.. Yes, indeed. Family allow ance payments cease at the end of the month in which notice is re- ceived by the Office of Dependency Benefits of the soldiers conviction of desertion. Payments also stop after the soldier has been absent without leave for three months. If he is later restored to duty, his family allowances may be rein. stated.
Bradley beam., 1944-01-15

Q. Is it true that under the new schedule of dependency allowances all seven grades of enlisted men are now eligible for allowances in. stead of just the lower four?
 A. In the new schedule EM in the top three grades are given their choice of allowances for dependents and their regular allowances for maintenance and quarters. They can't take both, but they may choose the family allowance in lieu of the regular quarters allowance.
 Q. My brother is overseas and wants mail. How many V-Mail let ters am I permitted to send him month?
 A. Once again, there is no limit placed on the number of V-Mail letters you can send to service men. However, you can't send your bro ther any packages unless he sends you a written request for the con- tents and even then you can't send more than one package week.
