 Q. My sc3 is held a prisoner of war in Germany. His wife who lives in the south is receiving the labels to send him packages. His father and I would also like to send him package. Can we apply for labels?
 A. The provost marshal;s office sends the labels only to the person designated by the prisoner as next of kin. This explains why his wife receives the labels. You would be unable to get any from the provost marshal. However, you can ask your daughter-in-law to send you her labels as they are interchange able. If she is unwilling to do this, perhaps she will let you send cer- tain items in the package for which she will receive label every sixty days.
 o. I have been discharged from the Army. I carried $10,000 National Life Insurance. I do not feel I can afford to carry this much. Can I have it reduced to $3,000 pol icy?
 A. Yes If you do not wish to retain the old amount of your in" surance 1t may be reduced. You must carry at least a thousand dol lars. You should apply by letter to the Veterans Administration. Washington, D. O., stating the exact amount of insurance you wish to be continued. You should also send money order to cover the first monthly quarter or semi-annual pre- mium on the reduced amount insur- ance.

HONEYMOON DAZE: Well, the Halts were back from their brief honeymoon this week-Cpl. Elean- ore returning to her old stand at the weather station and S/Sgt. Dave continuing on to his post at M. l. T. By all appearances married life seems to agree with them both so far. From an absolutely reliable source we learned a little story about the honeymoon which proves again-as if it needed proof-that it is pretty hard for any man to get used to having a wife all of a sudden. After the wedding cere- mony the happy couple set out for New York and Dave managed to get his bride on and off the train, out of Grand Central, and over to a hotel with unbridegroom-like ef- ficiency. Then he slipped up on one little detail. Checking in at the hotel desk with flourish that was intended to suggest that this was just another day in his life, he completely forgot to note on the register that anyone at all was staying with him. Our source did not reveal whether the clerk was able to keep straight face when Dave was summoned back to insert "and wife" in the proper place. In- cidentally, an eyewitness account by M/Sgt. John Lutz and Sgt. Ben Wilson who got up to Massachu- setts for the wedding discloses that the bride looked lovely and the groom at least appeared calm.
 TRAVELLERS: Special orders hit us hard last week again. First it was Cpl. Thorndike Saville and then Sgt. Manford Sievers. In the short time he has been here Thorn dike has become very popular and we'll miss having him around. He's said to have a stratospheric OCT score, but he's good guy first. Sieve has been here for sixteen months and his quiet, prodigious output of top grade work has be- come a legend The place won't seem the same without him, but more than his efficiency we'll miss his never-failing friendliness and imperturbably cheerful outlook. Wonder how you grow dispositions like that.
 BRIEFS: That was good cast ing the other night on Bob Hopes show when they had Jerry Colonna playing an AACS man Cpl. Elinar Johnson has returned from a furlough in his hometown, Salt Lake City, Utah, and reports the skiing was fine. In case you've won dered he says that Great Salt Lake wasn't frozen over this winter :. Cpl. Dick Heil, the AACS guitarist, is looking for talent for the or chestra of which he is conductor, manager, arranger, vocalist, and star, if not only, performer. His brightest prospect at the moment is S/Sgt. Dave Kennedy, who ac- quired a mandolin at a Hartford pawn shop and will be able to pick out couple of tunes on it by May Day probably-if he lives. Dick is looking for pianists especially. He has some hot jobs lined up, too.

JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS?

There should be no shortage of workers in heaven, because so many have been killed and gone there, even though everyone was needed right here on-the job.
 Forty-seven thousand five hum dred of the 93,000 persons acci- dentally killed and about one half of the 9,30O,O0O injured last year were workers. Approximately 1O, 800 were military personnel who never had a chance to leave the home front.
 Accidents just don't happen they are caused. Too often after an accident you hear the expression, "It was just one of those things that are bound to happen. Such is not fact, for in 98 per cent. of all accidents, some definite preven- table cause can be found.
 An ordinarily reliable and safe ty-minded worker may have an ac cident the first time he disregards safety rules, and a slipshod, devil may-care person may go on for some time ignoring safe practices and really asking for an accident without having one. The only diff ference is "luck" However, you can't depend on "luck" in the long run, for the first accident may be your last.
 Accidents are usually caused by little things. For example, five fatal accidents within the con- tinental United States involving airplane propellers:
 "Crew chief descended from wing by sliding down blade of propeller of hot engine. Engine fired, causing propeller to strike crew chief"
 "Crew chief had just finished ad- justing idling speed of engine, turned and walked into revolving prop"
 "Pilot was taxing slowly, watch ing wing for clearance, and did not see approaching Wac until she had walked into prop"
 "Lineman, while shielding sun from eyes, walked into propeller"
 Ground crew member removed right chock, crossed underneath the boons, and ran directly into the left prop"
 Avoid sprouting "the wings of an angel" by keeping your mind "on the ball" and don't give any one the chance to remember YOU as "Just one of those things"

a ways from the back wall. Be-
hind the cross on the back wall
is an aurora of gold rays and
roses. Behind the cross is a hidden
light that shines around the whole
altar. The altar itself is white and
on it, below the cross, stand two
huge angels on bent knees point
ing up towards the empty cross.
The altar is adorned with two
large vases of gold that contained
yesterday great punches of purple
flowers and yellow marigolds. Be
fore these at either side were two
ycandelabras with white, tall
candles that were lighted just be-
fore the service began. On the al
tar lay the red leather bound
bible. The minister, when conduct
ling the service. was clad in light
green velvet robes with a black
and gold cross in the back, worn
over a white blouse with a lace
edged collar When giving the SER
mon he was of course dressed in
the conventional black robe with
the stiff white collar.
