S. O. to have well-known dance bands visit the camp and have soldiers engage In dance contests." Private First Class Nicholas Ml-rabella Company 102nd Quarter master Regiment, writes, A sol- dier always likes the feeling of getting away from camp, of visiting nearby towns to pass an afternoon or weekend.

Private Abraham Orange of Company 102nd Quartermaster Regiment, writes, "The Idea of having a U.

S. O. recreational center is excellent, and would be deeply appreciated by enlisted men, as every soldier likes to leave camp at least once or twice a week to get away from the general routine of Army life. At present the soldier finds nothing to do when out of the camp, and at a U. S.

O. headquarters, he could meet friends, play games, and dance with the YOUNG women of the towns. Homesickness usually comes during idle hours. A U. S.

O. at headquarters, 191 Jofalemon St, It was a direct appeal by the soldiers of Fort McClellan, where the 27th Division is In camp, for assistance from the 8. O. and, also, a direct appeal to the people to contribute to the campaign. "This message, written by Private First Class Henry Urt of Company 102nd Quartermaster Regiment, whose home is in Brooklyn, speaks for itself," said Mr.

Catharine today, "It is one of hundreds of messages received by the U. 8. O. from soldiers and sailors who are training to protect our lives and liberty." Meeting with members of the executive committee at headquarters, Mr, Catharine read excerpts from other letters of soldiers from Brooklyn. Some of them follow: "Recreation is one of the major military problems of today." "Equally important as the axiom 'K soldier marches on his stomach' is the building of morale." "The U.

S. O. promises to be the soldiers' best friend." "The soldiers need the help of the U. S. "We all feel keenly the loss of home atmosphere that we are sure could be replaced to a large degree by the 8.

Private Theodore Bonatakis of Headquarters Company, 102nd Quartermaster Regiment, has written saying, "All feel keendly the loss of home atmosphere and the com- radeship of friends. While men at I many training camps are within visiting distance of their homes on weekends, the soldiers at Fort McClellan must be content with a trip to nearby Annlston where he i will spend a few hours at a movie and then wander up and down the streets until driven back to camp by sheer boredom." UlanMs nnariniia Private First Class Thomas O'Brien of Company 102nd Quartermaster Regiment writes, "There is a natural restlessness among the soldiers most strongly felt when idle. This may prove dangerous if not counteracted. The sad thing Is. the soldier has idleness forced upon him during his off hours.

M. Regiment. Your Birthday STELLA AUGUST 7 Is this your birthday? Then you are one of those active, energetic and ambitious individuals always on the go and always getting something done. You are ambitious and you take progress right in your stride. It Is probable you will accumulate considerable money during your lifetime.

This attitude of happy-go-lucky, hlt-or-mlss luck is actually more the result of continuous activity combined with the desire to amount to something rather than sheer luck. But you don't ever make work look hard; most people think you are playing through life. This is where they make a mistake in treating you and your plans lightly. You have a charming and lovable personality, one which puts people off their guard. If you're a woman, you'll buy a new hat to make an effect even if you have to go without lunches for a month.

You may boast a little, too, but when it comes to the test you put yourself and your ambitions over the top. You are emotional and your home and family mean much to you. You cannot be happy without marriage and even women with a career will want to be home-makers as well.

Instead they shout, "Hoolock!" Such gibbons live in Thailand and Sumatra, and have the special name of "Hoolocks" When they cry out in chorus, we might almost think they were singing. They have their chorus at sunset as well as at dawn.

Gibbons live chiefly on plant food. They are fond of fruit and also eat young shoots. Now and then they Invade the nests of birds, and eat the little ones. A gibbon swinging through the air has been known to capture a bird on the wing. Gibbons are shy, and usually keep away from people.

Yet they make good pets when they are captured. They are gentle, and will not attack their masters. Most gibbons have black or gray fur. The fur of some of them turns i white as they grow older. Tomorrow: The Goby family.
