0. My mother received a tele- gram from the Government noti- flying her was wounded in action. She was worried by the fact that the telegram had two stars on it. What do the stars mean?
 A. Two stars are placed on all telegrams of an urgent nature.
 Q. Does a soldiers perturbation status have any bearing on his eligibility for discharge under the War Departments demobilization plan? I was a pre-Pearl Harbor father and have two dependent children. Because of my depen- dency status, I was not drafted until late in 1943.
 A. Under the demobilization plan announced by the War Depart ment, a mans perturbation status has no bearing on his eligibility for discharge. However, the fact that you have two dependent chil- dren will count. Length of service, length of overseas service and cer- tain combat decorations also count.
 Q. I have heard that soldler hospitalized for venereal disease no longer loses his pay. Is that correct?
 A. That is correct. You are re- ferred to AR 25-1440, dated Mo- vember, 1914.
 Q. Has a veteran the choice of selecting any course he wants un der the Army's Vocational Re- mobilization program, or must he take what he gets and like it
 A. The veteran may tell the Veterans Administration his pref erence in courses. But then they will select for him the ones they believe he is best qualified for.

POW
 POu>WOv

The POWAC party last week has been termed by all critics as a bang-up success. And the most enthusiastic reporter is our Change of-Weather Babick who, in Sphinx like fashion and with Casanova bravado, outdid himself in the corner.
 Cpl. Bill Muldowney still sighs, "You know, boys, she didn't ask me so I didn't tell her." But ap- parently everyone hasn't been quite so mum with our Gal Friday from Arkansas, who, when queried about the POW guards, remarked, "They are a nice bunch of kids-but some of them! Oh, my gosh!"
 Flash! The wires have just re- ported that our Sergeant Major is about to break the news. He's been pricing rings. And he doesn't ride the "merrigorounnd."
 And those who've already taken that final step are able to report that they now await only the ar rival of that white winged bird. Seems that the spouses of Sgt. Bags, TIA Benvenuti, It. Mattox, and your humble correspondent are all anticipating. Wunderbar!
 For the excellence of the party last week, our combined hearts go out to that super host, Pfc. Tom Burke. And, of course, to all the Wacs who attended.

Don't Spread It Around:- Marines Like Bath Soap

South Pacific (CNS)-No one would even suggest that the mem bers of the 4th Marine Air Wing unit are sissies-but they do like perfumed soap. Reason is that the water available to them for show ering, shaving, etc., is brackish and odorous. The odor, best described as sulphurous, made bathing un- welcome until the arrival of high powered, sweet smelling soap. Drinking water is distilled from the sea.

Hardman Analyses
Virginia Labor Trend

George Hardman, who last week
succeeded j. Fred Kirchner, North
ern Virginia inspector for the State
Labor Department, as president of
the Alexandria Central Labor Union,
says the election marked the de-
feat of an element in the unions
leadership that had supported can
didates unfriendly to labor.
Mr.. Hardman, former vice presi-
dent of the Central Labor Union,
defeated Oscar Barnes for the presi-
dency. Mr.. Barnes was said to rep
resent faction in the union led by
Mr.. Kirchner, the retiring president
who did not stand for reelection
because Of additional duties as
State labor inspector"
Recalling that Mr.. Kirchner an
nounced his support of Representa-
tive Smith, Democrat of Virginia,
in the November elections following
Unanimous Endorsement by the Gen.
trial Labor Union of the candidacy
|of Mrs. Elizabeth Chiffon Murray,
Mr.. Hardman said this stand by
Mr.. Kirchner was "the biggest" rea-
son why delegates found it neces-
[sary to remove his faction from
leadership.
He described Mr.. Smiths record
as "black all the way through in
regard to labor"

Drafted as Red Cross Leader

the Montgomery County organixa-
ton.
This, In itself Is q big Job. but
Mrs. Ragornet keeps it moving
with a small part Of her energy.
A large part of her time goes into
the work Of the Camp and Hospital
Council. She was q pioneer In the
establishment Of the Fort George
Meade Camp and Hospital Council
and now is chairman Of the Mont
gomery County Chapter Of the Po-
tomac Council which provides q
multitude Of recreational services
and facilities to the training camps
and hospitals In this area.
When Mrs. Ragonnet moved into
the key spot In the Red Cross unit
In Silver Spring back In 1942, the
area had never had q quota larger
than 1000 for the annual roll call
Last year, the quota was 1928 and
Silver Spring exceeded it by 20 per-
cent. Its other activities have shown
Q similar growth. But all Of the
work Is carried on with an unpaid
stan Of volunteer workers. It took
$500 hours of work by Is stan as
sistants and Is ONCE aides to keep
the work moving IN 1914 at the pace
set BY Mrs. Ragonnet.
