THE NUMBER OF servicemen
who will be home for Christmas
Will depend on the number Of ci-
villains who stay home over the
holiday. The war department has
announced that furlOughs for
soldiers will be determined by the
Availability of local transporta
tion facilities in various parts of
the country" Commanding officers
are made responsible for not over
loading these transportation facili-
ties. This means that not all the
men in uniform who would be eli
gible for a Christmas furlough will
be allowed to go home. Under the
regulations, up to 10 per cent OF
the personnel of d command may
be given ii holiday furlough. This
is in addition to Is per cent author

civilians can bring a drastic cur
