About 100 patients in the Region

each week in a series of news
analysis discussions brought to
them in their wards by Wac Pvt.
Elma G. Davis, former college his
tory teacher, who believes that SOL
diers' understanding of information.
al relations will speed victory and
make possible an enduring peace.
Speaking to groups of up to 20
patients in each ward visited, Pvt.
Davis approaches her discussions
with deep personal interest in
war and postwar problems.
To create an understanding of
world affairs, Pvt. Davis says, an
instructor must do more than pre-
sent a re-hash of the days front
page. Her own discussions reach
into the historical, economic and
geographical background of ma.
tons about which she is talking.
Before coming to Camp Davis,
Pvt. Davis directed the entire orr
entation program for the AAF Con-
valescent Hospital, Nashville,
Tenn, where her daily lecture was
attended voluntarily by a group of
about $50 men, representing an av.
erage of IS per cent of all who
were able to be present. The am
bilious nature of her program
there, characteristic of all her orr
antatjon work, can be seen from
the title of the series of lectures
she gave at Nashville: winning
the Peace by Social, Economic and
Geographic Adjustments" She
hopes to present a similar series
to patients at Camp Davis.
Holder OF an MA. degree from
the University of Arkansas, Pvt.
Davis taught for eight years at
Henderson State Teachers college,
Arakadelphia, Ark, before joining
the WAC in May, 1914.

Service men
On Y III e Gifts
BY ARLENE WOLF
AP NeWSfeatureS Writer

It's not too early to start think
ing about Christmas, if there are
servicemen on your gift list. Army
and Navy officials urge you to
wri,e your serviceman now, write
and ask what he wants, so that he
may have a useful as well as g
merry Christmas.
The shifting of large numbers
OF men from Europe to the Paci-
fic will change the gift possibilities
somewhat, the military advises,
and gifts that were desirable in
the European theater may not be
feasible for the hot Pacific. A
letter mailed now will reach the
soldier in time for him to seno
back his preferred gift list, ana
in time to get the parcel off
during the prescribed mailing per-
| iod-September Is to October Is.
i Last year, about $4,000 Christ
mas packages were mailed ove--
seas. Many could not be delivered
or arrived months late because of
unwise gift selection, insecure
wrapping, incomplete addressing
or late mailing. This year, pack
ages bound for the Pacific the
alter will have to 60 almost twice
the dis ance they Travelled to Eu-
rope-from a midWestern town to
Cherbourg, for example is about
5000 miles, but from the same
place to OkinaWa is more than
5000 miles.
To protect gift packages from
extreme heat, cold, sand and
dampness, the War and Navy de-
partments recommend packing
boxes of heavy metal, wood, solid
! fibreboard or double-faced CORFU
gated fibreboard. The War Pro-
duction Board has approved the
manufacture of boxes app-oxima-
tely 10 by 6 by 4 inches, permit
ting compact mailing within the
five-pound weight limit, but last
years regulations about prohibited
items still apply.
To make doubly sure that all
gifts reach the boys intact, the
sender is asked to list the par
cells contents on a separate sheet
of paper bearing the serviceman' S
name and complete address. In
this way, if the outside wrappings
are damaged, the armed service
postal authorities can still deliver
it in time for Christmas.

Take It Easy!
BY BETTY CLARKE
ZAP Newsfeatures Beauty Editor

If you haven't yet been burned
summing yourself on the beach,
lawn or backyard, you might like
to think about the possibility OF
acquiring a tan by the slow but
sure method.
1t seems little silly to sun one
self to the point of exhaustion
with dire consequences of pro-
longed exposure to the suns
rays.
Then, too, after you've had a
severe burn it is impossible to sit
in the sun until your wounds are
healed. When you blister and
peel, besides the discomfort given
by an unattractive appearance, it
is a painful experience to work
with sore arms, thighs or legs.
Nothing can be gained by an
overstay in the sun unless it is
misery whereas a little common
sense and planning can insure a
prettier body and more healthful
summer.
There are some who can tan
naturally without any help from
lotions. But it is wise to apply a
fannie type lotion even if you
have the easy tanning brunette
skin, just in case you should over
stay your sun time.
The time you should allot your
self to bask in the sun depends on
how quickly you burn. Here is a
good schedule you might paste
on your lotion bottle and refer to
while you are summing yourself.
If YOU find you cannot take as
much as is allowed. cut your time
down a bit. Or you may find that
you can add a few extra minutes
without any undue harm to you"
