"He's tired out, now. And so are
We"

telegram that he would see her

Also in demand are whole wheat

do tooth brushes. Never send

packages going abroad. In the fiscal
year 1889 a total of 1872. 1875
pounds went overseas. In the fisca]
year 1946, seven years and one wal
LATER the total was 1853 .20S. 1874
pounds. The Post Once estimates
that about 10 per cent of this pound-
age Is sent from one individual to
another, with packages averaging
10.2 pounds. Packages being sent to
servicemen abroad are not Included
in these figures.
Already, the first three months of
the 1947 fiscal year have rolled up a
total OF 64,232,6 $50 pounds. In March
OF 1s47 the lions share of parcels
went to Germany, Italy and Great
Britain.

relief agencies are in no sense meet
ing the entire need" Non-profit
agencies such as CARE, that supply
gift packages of food or clothing
are suggested by the Red Gross and
the Society of Friends as sources of
help.
The American .Women's Voluntary
Service is equipped to send T.
pound food package abroad upon re-
quest. The package costs $3.50 and
differs for adults and children. The
AWVS secures its lists of poverty
stricken persons from the embassies
They will pack and send the package
directly, or they will supply you with
the name of person to whom you

The Washington Federation of

names of needy persons overseas.
For the sender with friend or
relative abroad, actually making up
a package personally is satisfying
Some persons offer aid In this way
as well as through non-profit Or
ganizations.
However, a package that arrives
with the goods badly damaged is
hardly worth sending. A lady we
know, who sends parcels regularly

DIET PROBLEM?
PARACHUTE NYLON2

PARACdUIE NYLONf
From Mrs. S. F. S., Falls Church, J
For over two years my husband
has been on very rigid high acid
ash" diet, which almost excludes
fruits and vegetables. I've managed
to keep deadly monotony out of our
meals, although it has taken bit of
doing. Now, however, the doctor is
also eliminating all milk and cheeses.
Meals at home I can still manage
but lunches have me stumped COM
pletely These things I cannot use:
Bread with dried fruits dates, rails
ins, etc., cheeses, fruit marmalades
or filings, spiced luncheon meat
preparations, cured or heavily salted
meats (bacon, ham, etc., vegetable
filings. In fact, all can think of
is peanut butter, eggs and sliced or
ground leftover roasts. And two
sandwiches day soon uses up my
imagination. Only walnuts and un-
salted peanuts are on the list. May
onnaise and plain cake and cookies
are permitted. These limitations
make 1t apparent why he must carry
his lunch-and mine is the problem
of what lunch So please put on
your thinking caps" before I starve
my man to death.
OF minor Importance, but some
thing I've been intending to inquire
about. Since the wars end I've seen
repeated advertisements about para
chutes for sale. Has any person had
experience with this type of nylon?
Does it wash and iron WELL is it easy
to sew or does it crawl" do gar
ments made of 1t have to be sewed
with nylon thread, do seams tend to
fray or pull, can 1t be dyed success
fully at home? Hope somebody has
these answers, too. for probably
many women would be interested.
Thanks for all your help. Hope
none of you give me food help from
your own experience. for I sincerely
hope none of you have such a COM
plicated diet problem. It certainly
takes nearly all ones time!
