Stout Field and Ft. Harrison Still Need Recreational Equipment More furniture and recreational items, either new or used, are still needed for the use of enlisted men and women at Ft. Harrison and Stout Field, the Red Cross reported today. The number of enlisted personnel stationed at these two places is increasing steadily. Some material has already started coming in, but the response has been slow, according to local officials. The Red Cross is attempting to supply equipment for a library and day rooms at Ft. Harrison and for a recreational hall for the families of enlisted men at Stout Field. These are the rooms that are for the use of enlisted men and women on their offduty hours, and the articles requested are not provided for by the government. Items which are needed are curtains, throw rugs, children’s furniture and toys, floor and table lamps, library tables and chairs, books, lounge chairs, clocks, ash trays, ping-pong and pool tables, and pianos. Any organization or individual who wishes to contribute these articles should contact the Red Cross, Li. 1441.

The security of Prance became doubtful, as dangers arose. Then came the attack from Hittor. Franco foil quickly. Her divided condition, her hatreds and factionalism, made defense feeble end weak. Then live yeare later, liberation came, France again estabHehsd her own government. But industrial confusion was still everywhere.

phone operators across the nation and others with previous long distance operating experience are going to postpone their Christmas holiday to help complete as many calls as possible. “Even with more equipment than ever and more highly experienced operators, there are bound to be delays on calls to communities outside Indiana on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day," Mr. Nail stated. Most calls within the state will be completed without dificußy, unless a storm should add to the expected volume of traffic by making it impossible for people to attend family reunions. “We want people to enjoy the annual exchange of Reason** greetings with their friends in distant places. These calls will get through more promptly if they are placed before Christinas Eve or after Christmas Day," Mr. Nail said.
