NEW YORK, Dec. 14 (U. P.).—An American flying fortress pilot, held €r in Germany, has told his ther in three letters that he and his crew were “being decently treated” and were permitted to play softball, soccer and bridge, the brother announced today. : The pilot, Lieut. Clarence Walter Lipsky of Great Neck, N. Y. was captured on the day he was to get
“his captaincy when his plane was owned.
_ In his letter, Lipsky paid “tribtite|
to the Red Cross, on which he said *“‘our existence depends.” ~The prisoners pass most of the time with sports and playing cards, he said in a letter, dated Nov, 30. “We play softball and soccer and bridge,” Lipsky added “but it is getting a little cold for games. We - expect to skate soon. We are in the “woods and it is hilly and mounfainous. We are eight in a room, © and we do our own cooking. I am ‘not much of a cook so I do the dishes.” ~ Lipsky was captured late in August * after he had participated in at least 10 raids on Germany and France.

Times Special WASHINGTON, Dec, 14. — Spic and span and washed behind the ears, Johnny Doughboy will do all of his holiday train riding this season under the watchful eyes of mili-
. All of the major railroads have completed arrangements with the army to carry military policemen on all passenger trains this month— an arrangement which probably will exist for the duration. ; Freed from the strict regimen of army life, soldiers heretofore have counted their holiday well under way once the trains on which they paid for their own tickets started moving. Civilian passengers and train crews were tolerant of the soldiers’ high spirits.

But high ranking officers began noticing that sometimes the high spirits came from pocket flasks or too many trips to the club car. So the army came up with its suggestion to put M.P.’s on all trains.
With their blue and white arm bands standing out as conspicuously as red lights, the M. P.'s now parade the length of trains, pausing at intervals with such soft-spoken admonitions as: “Button up your coat or take it off, soldier.” “Not so loud, soldier.” “Make that one your last beer, soldier.” Augmented details of military policemen will watch over train and bus terminals. And in cities where a large number of soldiers will congregate, M.P.’s patrol the streets,

Farmers Exempt on Basis of the Livestock His Place Has
ATLANTA, Ga. Dec. 14 (U. P.)—Eight milk cows equal 72 hogs, 4000 broilers, or 120 ewes or one draft exempt farmer, Draft boards in Georgia were issued a table of equivalents of livestock, dairy and poultry animals to use in determining the draft status of farmers in a move to curtail the exodus of farm labor into the army and war industries. Eight milk cows are the standard . for a one-man unit if he also raises the feed for his herd. Lieut.-Col. J. N. Keelin, regional representative of the selective service and liaison officer with the war manpower commission said here that the local boards have been instructed to use the table only as a guide in deferring farmers. “Other considerations by the "local board are important, and the farmer who has eight milk cows is not automatically deferred,” he said. “By Feb. 12 the unit will be increased to 10 milk cows and three months later the unit will be 12 milk cows.” Other equivalents to eight milk cows set forth in the table include: 24 beef cows; 40 year=lings, (steers and heifers); 33 two-year-old steers; 32 feedlot cattle; 640 feedlot lambs; 600 hens; 2000 chickens (raised); or 320 turkeys.

Piccadilly: Circus—where Londoners once. congregated in peacetime splendor —is ‘completely blacked out. But Chicago—well, the Windy City is today’s gayest bright spot in this whole war-forn world. Each night an estimated throng of 100,000 -men and women stroll up and down famed State st. crisscross blazing Randolph, and win-dow-shop the length of the entire Loop district.

TL RECORIED
But Insurance Company ‘Warns Public to Guard
Against: Pneumonia.
By Solencs Service NEW YORK, Dec. 14. ~The lowest pneumonia and influenza death rate on record among its industrial life insurance policy holders was achieved in the last annual cycle, September, 1941, to August, 1942, the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. here announced. During that period the average pneumonia-influenza death rate was equivalent to 32 deaths per 100,000 persons. This is 21 per cent less than the previous low record made the year before and 63 per cent less than the rate five years before. Winter Dangerous Most striking is the change in the picture during the winter months when pneumonia ' and influenza deaths reach their maximum. Dur ing the winter of 1936-1937, consid ered an average winter at that time, pneumonia and influenza deaths reached an extremely sharp peak in February with a rate of more than 175 deaths per 100,000 persons on an annual basis. At the end of February, 1942, the peak was just over 50 deaths per 100,000 persons on the annual basis. The death rate for the winter months was 70 per cent less than in the winter of 19361937, and the seasonal mortality curve has flattened out so as to be “almost beyond recognition.” The life insurance company warns, however, that the continued prevention and control of pneumonia is the concern of every man and woman and that no common cold can be considered lightly. Signs or symptoms of more serious trouble call for prompt medical attention.
