For Veterans
May Ask Installation
Of Temporary Units
To Ease Shortage

A committee of Alexandria resi-
dents will inspect the Washington

The exposition Is sponsored by the
Federal Public Housing Authority
to demonstrate how temporary war

find suitable quarters. 1t is located
on New Hampshire avenue, extend
ed, 2 miles beyond the District in
nearby Maryland.
BelvOir Holds Housing.
Charles Henry Mason reported
that conversations with Maj. Gen
Francis B. Wilby, commanding Of
ficer of Fort Belvoir, brought out
that there is little possibility OF
transferring residents of Cameron
Valley to the post in order to re-
lease additional housing in the city
He quoted Gen. Wilby as saying
Fort Belvoir will be the only per-
manent engineer post in the coun-
try. with a personnel of 10000, and
that the 222 units reserved for Fort
Belvoir personnel at Cameron Valley
will be needed.
Richard S. Marshall, executive di-
rector of the Alexandria Housing
Authority, reported that the Naval
Torpedo Station will not be able te
release any of the units at Chin
quapin Village and that although
they have just relased the l20 units
reserved for station personnel al
Cameron Valley, only two vacancies
exist there.
Mr.. Marshall pointed out that the
Alexandria Housing Authority has
gone on record as giving priority ir
all housing projects under it's con.
troll to veterans, and in addition is
requesting real estate firms to chan
mel all possible housing to veterans
Sidney Well, representing the Amer
ican Legion, reported that his post
is writing to all real estate agents
in the city asking for preference
for veterans.
J. Kent White Elected.

NJ, retired, national director of vet
erans' affairs of the American Re-
tail Federation, explained the plan
recently adopted in Lancaster, Pa.
whereby panel of businessmen

go into business, and in many cases
avoid failures by persuading them
to take. jobs rather than to borrow
money to enter business which
they are net properly equipped to
operate.
j. Kent White was elected chair
man Of the Citizens Postwar En-
ployment Committee, succeeding Jo-
seph Saunders. Mr.. White, in ac-
cepting the position, urged all mer-
chants to cooperate with new busi-
nessmen in an effort to avoid un-

Guadalcanal Native
Writes Laurel Friend
For Needed Calendar

A Guadalcanal native is badly in
need of a 1916 calendar, and has
written a request for one to Sgt.
Thomas ~Schessler. who is on his
way home but has not yet arrived
here. Apparently the writer is one
of the natives Schessler knew on the
island.
The letter indicates several things,
one being that missionaries have
been working a long time in the
islands that were little known by
most white people until the war
focused attention on them. The
missionaries taught Christianity, the
English language and social polite
ness.
Accompanying the natives note
was a brief letter from Tech. A John
Arnolfo, dated Jan. 81, who said:
"One of the Guadalcanal natives
gave me the enclosed note and ask
ed me to mail it to you. l don't
know you and l don't know the
native, but there's one thing I do
know: this native wants a calender
bad, so you better send it to him.
With all the blessings that he has
sent you l think he deserves a cal
endar. What do you Think"
The native apparently had writ
ten his note Jan. l.. His spelling
reflects the way he says the Eng
lish words, as well as the kind of
idiom he and his fellows have de-
velOped.
The request is as follows: "Dear
sir, my trinity Thomas E. Sches-
sler. Just little note to you. | ask
you my calendar. You say by by
you give me one good calendar.
Now me ask you again because
have meet very much for this year.
May the Lord add his reach BIAS
sing on you and our Christian
Brother at home or where ever they
are. From your brother in Christ,
Nicolas Kaxnboe."

MOTORISTS WARNED TO
HAVE LICENSES FEB. IS

State Patrolman f. A. Martin of
the Montana highway patrol today
warned motorists to get their 1916
license plates on their cars by Feb
ruary 15-or else.
Patrolman Martin cautioned mo-
florists having difficulty obtaining

the licenses are obtained before the
deadline.
To those car owners with foreign
license plates, Martin advised show
ing the foreign certificate Of title
to the county treasurer in support
of application for a Montana Ii
cense. If the foreign certificate of
title cannot be located, the car
owner should Immediately apply to

Wholesale Cookie Making Ends Here
When Red Cross Canteen Is Suspended

workers are continually being pre-
pared by training. The departments
job is to feed large numbers of peo-
pie, such as the victims of a flood,
fire or other disaster.
When the county chapter saw it
would not be required to furnish a
canteen for a military post, it
opened a canteen near the Billings
railroad depot, to which came thOus-
ands of service men while waiting
to resume their journeys.
A popular item at the %canteen
was homemade cookies, and Laurel
ladies were asked to make 20 to %
dozen each week. 1t was quite an
order, but it was filled 50 times a
year for four years. At first the
work was done by volunteer indi-
viduals, but later the women's or
CARNATIONS of the city were en-
listed.
When Christmas was approaching,
the Laurel ladies contrived to get
together about S25 with which to
buy Christmas gifts for the service
men who would be calling at the
canteen on Christmas day. There
also were boxes Of apples and
oranges.
Throughout the war the boys
liked the canteen and flocked there
in great droves when they got off
the trains. Mrs. Craig Rothwell,
for several years a resident of Lau-
rel, became a volunteer worker at
the canteen after she moved to Bill
lings. She and Mrs. Mildred Sheets,
who also assisted, tell of the great
appreciation the boys had for the
comforts and home cooked food the
canteen provided.
The cookies required sugar,
shortening, flour and other ingred-
tents. At first the ladies donated
the sugar, but during the last year
the Red Cross chapter was able to
provide that critical item. How
ever, most of the other materials
were contributed by the ladies who
made the cookies.
When the canteen in Billings sus-
recently, Mrs. G. E. Samel
wrote a letter of appreciation for
the assistance rendered from Lau-
rel. Addressed to Mrs. d. H. Nc
Cauley, the letter said:
81 want to take this opportunity
of thanking the ladies of Laurel
who so kindly provided our canteen
cookies during these four years
of our operation.
"a vote of thanks goes to the
ladies who were in charge of this
project.
1--WE always looked forward to
when the Laurel cookies ar
"Thank you very much, ladies.
It's a task well done.
Sincerely, Mrs. G. E. Samel."
