Yank Correspondents Tell What
Serfftimen Prefer For Christmas
i
Heading the list of what the
. ■verseas servicemen wants in
■'Is Christmas package are
PPnewsy cheerful letters from
home and recent photographs
or snapshots of family and
f:riends,” according to informa-
tion received by a canvass of
■overseas Yank correspondents
and officers recently returned
from various theaters of war.
Men interviewed by Yank cor-
respondents say a short letter
from friends is worth a hundred
Christmas cards. Many men
would like a new picture of
wife, sweetheart or parent not
larger than pocket size and en-
cased in a waterproof folder—
most of the pictures they took
with them now being the worse
for wear.
Cigarette lighters “that will
light in a strong wind” with
e:ctra flints and wicks run a
close second in articles wanted,
followed by such items as:
waterproof, shockproof wrist
watches, hunting or boy scout
knives, * and small, inexpensive
cameras with an ample supply
of films. (Army Censorship Qf-
fic warns that film may be
sent overseas only if in the
manufacturer’s original pack-
age with seal unbroken.) Phon-
ograph records are prohibited
because of the possibility of
concealed messages being sent.
What Servicemen Want
Other items which appear on
a great many lists submitted
by variuus theaters of opera-
tions, are: fountain pens and
pencil sets with extra lead;
subscriptions to pocket-size
magazines; small size books:
flasniights; compact writing
portfolios rigid enough to be
used as writing boards; bill-
folds; identiiication bracelets;
dog tag chains; small steel mir-
rors; f'ne tempered, rust proof
razor blades; fingernail scis-
sors: pipes; handkerchies; OD
socks and extra underwear;
and good linen playing cards
and poker chips.

COLLEGE STATION — Green
pastures are going to be more
necessary to the successful
wintering of dairy and beef
cattle this year than ever be-

pastures being high in protein
are the best means availab. ;
for stretching the limited sup-
plies of protein-rich meal and
cake which cattlemen feed nor-
mally.
For best results these pastures
should be planted in Septem-

Postal Regulations
According to Army Postal
stand up six months or more
in shipping and they recom-
mend that one of the five
pounefe allowable be used solely
for wrappings. The postal ser-
vice cautions that “the hold of
a ship may reach 130 degrees
and a ton of weight may rest
on your Christmas parcel.” Ad-
dresses should be printed if
possible with a substance that
will not mar, smudge, or other-
sonal tastes of the recipient
and his particular theater of
operation should be considered.

Beginning at the NE corner

Cattle must have more than
per cent corbahydrates and ten-
der green pastures have only
30, Eudaly says. As a conse-
quence, cows on pasture alone
sometimes become ill. An eve-
rage-size Jersey needs about
five pounds of additional dry
matter and larger animals re-
quire the equivalent of about
one half pound per hundred
of their weight in order to
maintain good health and pre-
vent scours.
A simple method for pro-
viding the extra dry feed is to
place in in a handy rack at
the water placing. Cows are
good judges of the quantity
they need, but in case they
should not eat it, holding them
overnight in the watering lot
will restore their appetites. .

Because seizure of the Nether-

upon the nation’s druggists to
make contributions. An appre-
