Happy Days! But Five In Naples Rest Camp

Red Cross hostesses Grace Low CTS, of Carmel, Cal, and Lydia Sherwood, New York City, were wrapping souvenirs to be mailed home. They had been at it since early morning.
 RELIEVED OF ROUTINE
 How did the men like these five days in the camp? Here is a typical opinion as voiced by Private First Class Herman Swanke, Tigerton, Wise: T had my first hot bath since leaving the States last April. Like everyone else I helped re- duce the vino (wine) surplus, too. Fresh clothes sure do make a guy feel swell but the best thing for the guys who have eaten noth- ing but cold c and K rations for a couple of months is the chow here. I have only got one gripe = We aren't here long enough"
 Few men here would disagree with Sergeant Calvin Katterhenry, New Knoxville, O.: T liked every thing about the rest camp. It's a pretty good life No one to give you orders. No bed to make, no barracks to clean. Civilians look after that for you. A hot shower as often as you want one, good food, new clothes, big city with movies and music and shops and wine and wo- men and sights to see and places to go."

bled Neopolitan street, up two dozen stairs, through an arch, and found themselves in large quad ranglular courtyard enclosed by low white plaster barracks. .Wearily they dropped their equipment, obeyed an order to move to cor ner of the quad.
 HAVE FEW RULES
 From the balcony, Captain Ro- bert L. Davies, a Division Special Service Section executive officer, addressed them: Men, you're here for 8 five-day rest. While you're here, you're your own boss. There are only two rules, no women or liquor in the rest camp; and you've got to be of the streets by 2 p. m. If you have another place to spend the night, you don't have to come back here. Just stay off the streets and be back here at 10 a. m. Tuesday,
 The men showed no particular sign of hearing this good news, nor were they visibly affected when Lieutenant James W. Jordan, of Little Falls, N. Y, the company commander for this camp, raced through the few formalities:
 Everyone was to pass immed- lately through a dental inspec- tion. Everyone could draw any or all clothing he wanted simply by signing a slip. The one thing that brought smile was announce ment of the breakfast hours: 6:30 to 8:30. That seemed funny to men who had been in the lines 59 days.
 I came back to this rest camp, one of three recently opened by the Fifth Army here in Naples, four checked in. I could hardly believe 1t was the same group of men. They looked rested. clean. They were relaxed. gay. Most of them were lounging in the attractive day room actually series of four rooms, with piano, radio, three ping pong tables, some easy and some not-so-easy chairs, magazines, books and score of writing tables.
 'The flock is back now" said Lieuteannt Jordan. "The first day everyone took of and went to town They went to the movies. They went on tours to Pompeii. Some of the men ran pretty wild, but none got into trouble. Tonight every ones writing letters and resting up again."
 Nearly all of them had done some shopping. An endless line circled the large table at which
