George T. Davis, shipfitter,

The Okinawa cam i G n
brought the biggest task for the
crew of the YOSEMITE. When
ever a gun was fired there, or
a torpedo turned loose, or a
watch checked for an important
coordination of time, there was
a good chance that the crew of
the YOSEMITE had helped make
it possible.
When Task Force So was be-

MITE had little time for sleep.
Working day and night over a
20-day period, the crew served

Service Council
For Veterans Aid
Hears Governor

Governor Thomas L. BAILEY
opened a meeting of the State
Service Council at Jackson this
week and notified the council
that fifty-six organizations in the
eighty-six counties had done a
fairly efficient job. He cited the
instance of a former truck driver
who had attained the rank OF
major while in service by demon
strating exceptional qualities, and
warned the council that men who
had demonstrated abilities ex-
peeted an equal opportunity in
civilian jobs.
He stated the detectives of the
Service Council were employ
ment, counsel, service, and liason
between the returning service
man and civilian life, and these
points have not changed. He
said that the Selective Service
System was deeply concerned
with educating the public with
the task that faced them during
the next eight months.
Approximately two and a half
times as many men will return to
Mississippi by July 1916 as have
returned during the previous five
wears, and they will want to know
what the citizens are prepared to
do for them in order that each
veteran may resume his place in
society, it was pointed out.
Lieutenant Colonel James l..
Davis, Manpower Division, chief,
impressed the council with the
fact that the veteran will even
tually run the country.
s'They viii run it because the
majority of young men will be
veterans, From them," the Col
onel continued, will come the CIV
ic leaders, the mayors, the con
gressmen and the governors. The
top jobs in business and indus
try will be held by citizens who
are veterans, because there are
so many of them"
Colonel Davis specified that
the discharge must not be al
lowed to find that his community
is unwilling to cooperate with him
when he returns. The commun-
ity must enable him to find a
home, aid him in making bust
ness loans, put education within
mis- grasp, and make full en-
ployment a reality.

More POW Camps
Scheduled To Be
Closed Shortly

Thirty Prisoner of War branch
camps in the seven southeastern
states have been closed and II
more are scheduled for closing in
the next two or three weeks, re-
ducing the PW population by
some $1,000 from the peak figure
of last June, according to Major
General Edward II. Brooks, com
handing general, Fourth Service
Command.
In the past As days, some 5000
have been shipped out of the Ser
vice Command as requirements
for their labor harvesting crops
have been reduced. The sick and
wounded prisoners ri being re-
patriated and, upon arrival in
Germany, will be sent directly to
their homes. For the able-bod-
led prisoners it is simply a change
from a prison camp in the United
States to a prison camp overseas.
Their work it not finished.
With some $4,000 PMS re-
naming in the southeast, there
is sufficient prisoner labor to ham
die the remaining harvests. Pris-
oners are picking cotton in Mis-
sissippi and will be engaged in
this harvest for another month.
In other areas of the service
command they are gathering corn,
pecans and sugar cane, in addi-
ton to pulpwood and other labor
where civilian labor presents a
shortage. In Florida citrus fruit
harvesting is starting with PW
labor relieving the civilian labor
shortage.

CHRISTMAS cards with an in

Guggenheim fellow will carry
many Americans Yuletide mes
sage of peace this year.
They are the work of Rttf
Reeves, New York artist and tex.
tile designer, who turned her /
ents to this field when wartime
regulations restricted her work
in hani-printed textiles.
When our boys started a.
cross Europe with the liberia

so I turned out these Christ
mas cards."
Persian paintings, Russian tx
cons, Flemish woodcuts, European
cathedrals, South American fl
p estas, the Quechu Indians of the
tAndes and many other subjects
covered in years of travel and
study have contributed inspira-
ton to the designs, which carry
a message of international peace.

ance is expressed by three

a Fra Angelica mural. The
= theme of 10y to the world
a world welded in harmony
and peace-is expressed by a
great globe siltouetted behind
an angels head.
, Latin American relations are
emphasized in a dozen different
cards replete with designs bor-
'rowed from Indian potteries,
fiesta ceremonies, etc. A Russian
touch appears in designs inspir-
ed by ikons. The cards r sold
by a group of department stores
in various parts of the country
(Saks).
Miss Reeves art career got off
to a fiery start in her youth and
has been giving off fireworks
ever since. When she was a STU
dent at Pratt Institute, Brook
lyn, she and another student were
arguing whether a certain brace
let was celluoid or coral. Miss
Reeves set a match to it to prove
it was not celluliod and would
not burn-and it promptly went
up in flames.
Miss Reeves resumed her stud
les in her native state Of Cali
fornia at the San Francisco
School of Design and continued
them for three years at the Art
Students League in New York.
After her fathers death she
earned part of that schooling
herself. Then she was off to Paris
where she made her living do
ing fashion sketches and spent
the rest of the time studying
with Fernand Leger. Back in
America she bent her talents to
designing unusual textiles work
ing chiefly with architects and
decorators rather than manufac-
turerS.
