recently was graduate from the
Third Army Food Service Schools
eight-week cooking course at Fort

The course, one of three taught

and in the field.
Private Gray, cook in Medical

There was a down-at-the-mouth
look on the face of the newsboy
who sold me paper in Ports
mouth Monday. How're things 60
ing?" l asked him. bad news for
me-" he said. Drinks went to six
cents today" l gave him six cents
and told him to have the first one
on me. He said he had been laying
away his money in nearby store
to buy his mother a Christmas gilt
and was going to pick it up next
week. But his only trouble was
the advance in the cost CT soda
pop. The young generation If today
has so much of everything. When l
was that boys age I'd never had
the good fortune to abs Nrb i half
dozen bottles of pop. Even how
sodas don't cut much ice with Inc.
But to that newsboy the une-t Cnt
increase is a major calamity.
l have decided that except for
one or two rare exceptions, l am
going to dispense with sending
Christmas cards this year. Except
for remembering a handful of dis
tant relatives, the money that
heretofore went for cards and
postage will be sent to the chill
dren of one of our orphanages.
The cost and postage involved in
sending several hundred cards
which are forgotten the next day
will do more good when sent to

the needy. 1t gives a sort of sad
feeling to give up an old custom,
and l wish my friends to know l
think as much of them as ever, but
am tired of being always threat
ened by the post office department
with four cent postage. The post
office department is becoming a
luxury, and it surely offers some
mighty fine jobs to folks. If it
were well managed, it oughtn't to
be necessary to be losing money
all the time, as they tell us it does.
No matter what you do, the
wildfowl season just is never right.
The hunters complain about the
short season. This year the author
tiles tackled on another two weeks.
Then what happens? Weather has.
been so mild all fall that birds
don't fly; hunters who have come
a long way have been disappointed.
Many of the wise ones knowing
what the weather meant, haven't
come at all. It's just four weeks
until the season ends. Folks haven't
been making much money this year
catering to the duck hunting trade.
How unfortunate it is that so
many people can think only in
terms of today. Costly buildings
are erected in areas where there
is no parking room, and their fu-
ture use and value is destroyed,
even before they are completed.
People lay out roads and streets
which are too narrow to be of
service. Skimpy sidewalks remain
as monuments for many years to
bear witness to the stinginess of
men who designed them. Failure to
take note of the trends of today,
in planning and laying out property
pays off in big headaches later on
and results in the depreciation of
property once highly valuable. In
Norfolk, Va, the biggest headache
of business men and property own
ers is how to save their business
and their property in downtown
Norfolk. This property's value and
use are threatened by the modern
trend of humanity on wheels, who
are flocking to the out of town
shopping centers where there is
plenty of room to park.
1t looks as if the day of the
country doctor is gone forever. Ex-
cept in a mighty few cases where
the doctor has an individual prefer
ance for some community by rea-
son of sentiment or other personal
circumstances, we find the old time
country practitioner no more. The
small towns without hospitals are
also losing their doctors. Some
move away, some die off, and no
new ones come to take their place.
No community now can hope to
keep doctors unless it has a hos
pital. Lack of doctors and hos
pital works a great hardship on
poor people, and the poorer they
are, the worse it is for them, for
the cost of going a long distance
for medical aid is too burdensome.
They have to suffer in silence un-
less charity or the welfare fund
comes to their aid.
