Peace on Land. Sea and Air! Let Us Cherish and Preserve It!

Letter From Sergt James Mote Saturday Evening July 21. Weinheim, Germany. Dear Mother, Dad and Phyllie: ’ I’m feeling grand this evening. Might be the music we’ve been listening to or the wonderful breeze blowing in through our lace curtains. Lace curtains! Can you imagine that? Today has been beautiful, hot, but a breeze blowing constantly so that we are very comfortable. You know how I love sunshine, —well whenever I have a few minutes, I slip out in our back yard and strip to my shorts for a sunbath. Not much privacy however, as people make a regular thoroughfare through here. This afternoon, while I was stretched out, two women who live here, popped around the corner, next two little girls about Phyllis’ age, came to their home next door to play in their back yard. A couple of times I awakened to look up from my supine position on the blanket to see one of the women tenants of our apartment hanging clothes on the maze of clotheslines over me.

Today has been a very unusual one both for us and the civilians in the 84th sector and perhaps all of the 7th Army sector. Unannounced, at 3 a. m. this morning, hundreds of our men, armed, began a search of every house in our area, and a check, on all passes. The road blocks were so thick this morning that it was like running a hurdle race to get any place. I haven’t seen anything official, but I believe the 24 or 48-hour checks and the searching was for weapons, U. S. Army equipment and illegal traveling from one town to another. For some reason, Chaplain Sowers was roped in to “check on the checkers.” It was his job to see that there was no looting or raping while the G. I.’s searched. As we drove toward Hidelberg, men, women and children were standing at their front doors in robes, pajamas and nightgowns. Of course, the civilians knew nothing of the raid, and in the dawn, every window was lined with the curious staring at the proceedings.

THE SPEEDWAY FLYER

Very few weapons or G. I. equipment was found, but the Military Government was swamped with civilians who had been arrested by the M. P.’s for having improper passes or no passes. No one, other than one person per family to purchase food was allowed on the street while the search was going on. All transportation was halted, and I saw the guards refuse to let doctors and nurses cross the Nekar River in Hidelberg when they wanted to go to the hospital.

A® Normal skins must be kept normal. Even if your skin is beautiful it needs care. The normal skin may do well with soap and watei but cream will keep it soft and pretty. Dry skin demands care. Warmed oil, patted on every day relaxes that “taut” feeling. Ledger Syndicate.—WNU Features.

BY NANCY PEPPER THROWING A PARTY Want to be a smarty and give a party that will really send them? And we don’t mean that it will send them home. That’s the last place they’ll want to go. Well, you have to think up lots of “mixers” to keep things going and to keep the less sensational gals from being mothballs. Double check these winners. Blind Date—Line up gals on one side of the room; boys on the other. Blindfold each boy in turn, spin him around in case he’s not dizzy enough by nature, and set him loose. He pairs off with the first gal he touches. Grab Bag—Every gal covers her face with a brown paper bag. She

tears holes for her eyes to look through, and with colored crayons draws on the wackiest features she can think of. The boys are then let in to Grab a Bag we mean pick a partner. The fact that they

seldom recognize who’s under the bag proves that they’re not too observant of your clothes. And think of all the trouble you went to selecting that date dress! Cold Wave This one’s called “Freezing” and it’s hilarious. Every time the music stops—which it does very unexpectedly—couples must freeze in whatever position they’re in at that second. The three or four couples that look the funniest are selected for the finals; other couples dropping out to watch them. Play hot, jivey music for this one. Mothball Mixer—We call it that because the extra girls (and these days aren’t there always more wolverines than wolves?) are given big rubber balls. They roll the balls out on the dance floor and capture the boy of whatever couple it hits first The gal who was dancing with the boy gets the ball and the game goes on.

Do you know that hangnails are usually the result of excessive dryness of the cuticle? Do you know that the test of a good foundation cream or liquid is whether it will cling to the skin and prevent perspiration from spoiling your makeup? Ledger Syndicate.—WNU Features.
