8TH ARMY RDS "FOR NEW ROLE

‘Famed British Unit “Will Play.

CAIRO, June 10 (U. P.).—The British 8th army has been undergoing certain modifications in formation and training since the ciimax of its victorious pursuit of the Afrika Korps across North Africa, it can be revealed today. All lips are sealed regarding the present or future occupation of this battle-tried army which is regarded by many as perhaps the finest army in the world. The cloak over the 8th army is a part of the allied policy of keeping the axis guessing about invasion plans, which has produced the greatest secrecy observed in the Middle East since the start of the war. But it can be said that today the allied strength all along the North African coastline from the Atlantic tto the Turkish border is. greater than it ever has been hefolas. ;

Postoffice Prefers No War

Slogans on Envelope Face

WASHINGTON, June 10 (U. P.).— The United States post office department wants it known that it dislikes Hitler, Mussolini and Hirohito as much as any American. The post office department also is opposed to inflation. But the post office department prefers that opposition to the enemy leaders and the dangers of ine flation not be advertised on the face of envelopes. Back in January, the Morris plan bankers association began putting a slogan on -its envelopes: “if you must squawk, blame them—and watch out for me!” Under the slogan appeared a grotesque insect labeled “inflation,” which had one long arm with a hand pointing to caricatures of Hitler, Mussolini and Hirohito. Recently the association got =a

CHILDREN AIDED: BY - FAMILY TABLE TALK

By Science Service PHILADELPHIA, June 10. —Family table talk plays a vital part in rearing children, During mealtime, the time when the whole family is likely to be together, children learn moral values, absorb family culture and. develop as individuals, points out Dr. James H. S. Bossard, wellknown sociologist and professor at the Wharton school, University of Pennsylvania. The dining room is often the real social center of the household, reports Dr. Bossard in the June

issue of the American Sociological Review, and the family is apt to be at its greatest ease at the dining table, The influence of conversation at this time is subtle and intangible, but the part which it plays in rearing children is most important.
