This means, however, that if a picture opens in Los An~ geles on the last day of the yeaa and runs for at least . week there's after it is still eligible.
 Nominations for the best picture of the year will be made by 0l5d individuals. They. too, will mako s nominations. For the best direc~ tion, nominating will be restricted to Hollywood directors: and for the best screenplayS and motion pics ture stories, nominating will be res stricted to Hollywood writers, n1em% bers of the Screen Writers Guild and Academy Writer Members.
 Final voting follows nominations by several weeks, and for all the categorieS mentioned above best picture, best acting, best writing and best directing more than 9000 people will vote.
 However, there are other Aca~ demy Awards in addition to those above. These include the Technical Awards for Color, and Black and White Cinematography, Sound Rec- ording, Film Editing, Special Ef~ fects, Set Design and Scientific achievement. Other Awards are made for Best Musical Scoring, Best Original Song, Short Subjects and Documentary films. The Irving c. Thalberg Memorial Award to the years outstanding producer Is made by the Academy Board of Govers nors. Voting on Technical Awards is naturally restricted to members of the respective brancheS-because these men and women are best qualified to pass judgment on this specialized type of work.
 In wartime emphasis has been placed on the work of Hollywood and its people in winning the war. War themes have been nominated in the past; themes which stress democracy and the causes for which we fight have also been selected. In the Documentary field, subjects which deal with the war and the home front battles have also won attention. The Academy Awards not only represent the best that Hollywood has to offer the world in screen entertainment; the Awards are delicate gauge of what Holly wood is thinking and doing in terms of winning the war.

call from Lloyd saying to expect
him home within a few days.
Later a card arrived from Deshon

has over one hundred points, and

and clipping from Bill. In recent
letters he has told of being very
nicely quartered, and the relief ex-

duties. However, home is still up
permost in his mind, and he says
he would gladly trade all the nice
things offered by Dusseldorf for
his old home town; especially for
the sight of his old friends here.
I know nothing of the circum-
