LETTER BOX
MAJOR W. ALBERT BROWN. JR

/
On March "a Wilmington lost one
of it's finest young men. When
Major w. A. Brown Jr., or Billy
as he was known to US, was killed
in action en- the Western front, this
country lost another of the cream
of it's manhood. If it was neces.
sary for Billy to die, we know he
went the way he would have want
ed; fighting for and defending the
things he held dear.
Major Brown was prominent IN
high school and college affairs, and
he excellea. in most everything he
undertook. He was liked and re-
spected by all with whom he came
in contact. Honest, dependable, and
Straightforward, he was a credit
to our armed forces, and we know
he serve1 his country well. His
integrity and ability brought pro-
motions TO him; and, although on
ly twenty-three years old, he was
major in the glider command
at the time of his death.
To his parents I would say you
have made your supreme sacri-
flee. Nothing that I can say or do
will ease the sense of loss which
you now have. May you console
yourself with the knowledge that
you gave one Of the finest. We
can do nothing here at home that
could closely compare with the
gift that you have made. Although
Billy died young. you have been
given the opportunity to see the
results of the excellent example
set before him in his early child
hood.
To his wife, may I say, that we
too knew Billy well. I cannot begin
to realize the feeling Of loneliness
which is surrounding you, but I
offer my deep-felt sympathies. To
young Miss Brown, who her father
never saw, I would say although
you will never know your father,
I know that you will someday

''Whistle While You Wait" by
Fred Howard. DUEL, Sloan Il

Pearce: $3.50.
Fred ard his wife Janet were
separated from February, 1913, to
June, 1914. while he was with the
Air Forces in the Mediterranean
theater. -he letters he wrote, plus
a few of hers, are the content Of
this unusually stimulating, high
spirited book.
It sounds unexciting. Many men
are writing home about foreign
lands and life in service, and no
doubt their wives love every word.
But the man who can write his
wife Letters so human, observant
and witty that other people will
dote on than is a rarity. I know
only one of the kind: Fred How
ard.
The letters give away no mill
tary secrets. They even poke fun
at the ha1dships. Having to para
chute from a damaged bomber, ly-
ing on his back in, the middle of
nowhere, discovering the rip cord,
getting a big yank in the pants
as the chute blossoms make most
entertaining reading. When Howard
tells Of his own experience, it
sounds more like fun than the
danger it really is.
He writes of travel in a transport
of camps in North Africa, Sicily
and Italy, of Algiers, Cairo, Alex
andria, Capri, of bedbugs and fleas
and dogs, of the practically uni
versal availability of women. He
reports that there is not as much
religion in the foxholes as has been
claimed, believes strikes haven't
lost the war for us yet, thinks that
in one way and another too much
fuss was made over Rickenba cker's
seagul.
His wife's letters tell about their
son, Butch, aged four. You'll like
them, too You won't be mean
enough to wish him back at the
front in a hurry, but you hope
there'll be. more letters soon.

Instructions for Mailing Xmas
Packages for Servicemen

Christmas parcels for army per

tween Sept. IS and Oct. IS, j. P

nounced.
Parcels destined for delivery in

East and the Pacific Islands should
be mailed as early as possible in that
period. During that time requests

Christmas cards for army per-
sonnet may be mailed any time be-
fore Nov. IS. They must be sent in
sealed envelopes.
Although navy, coast guard and
marine corps Servicemen may receive
parcels without request at any time,
the navy department suggests that
Christmas parcels be mailed before
oct. is, Mr.. Sternhagen said.
Christmas parcels for men Of the
army, navy, coast guard and marines
must not exceed five pounds in
weight Or Is inches in length or Sc
inches in length and width COM

include food or clothing in parcels,
but to limit gifts to articles not SER
vice provided or not easily obtainable
BY the recipient. Not more than n

during one week by the same per-
son or concern to the same addressee
Packages intended for any per-
sonnet enroute overseas shortly be-
fore October IS, will be accepted
until December 10, upon presenta-
ton by the sender of a change of
address notification received prior to
Sept. 80.
He emphasized that all articles
for overseas shipment should be
packed in boxes of metal, wood,
solid fiberboard or strong double
faced corrugated fiberboard, testing
at least 200 pounds.
Each box should be securely tied
with strong cord. Sealing the flaps
with gummed tape where they meet,
strengthens the box, but the use of
the tape alone is not satisfactory as
the tape looSenS if the boxes become
damp.
Boxes should be tightly packed to
prevent articles from becoming loose
within the parcels and to prevent
crushing. 1t is also desirable that
fiberboard boxes be wrapped in
heavy paper and tied with cord.
Perishable matter will not be ac-
Soft candies do not carry

as razor and knives must have their

prohibited from mailing are intori-

as matches and lighter fluids, and
Addresses must be legible and
in ink or typewriter. Out
side addresses should be printed
directly OF the wrappers of the
