"THE ARMY ANSWERS YOUR
AR PROBLEMS
Q. Our son Is in an Army hos-
pital in New England. Wo can-
not afford to visit him, and ho
writes that he is very lonesome
for us. Would it be possible to
have him transferred to a hospital
nearer home, so we could see him
occasionally?
A. It Is the policy of the Army ]
to place a soldier in the hospi-
tal nearest his home. However,
since most hospitals specialize in
the treatment of certain illnesses
wounds, it may be necessary lor
a patient to be located in a hos-
pital some distance from hi? home.
As soon as your son is able, he
will be permitted to visit you.
Q. Is Alaska overseas?
A. A soldier serving in Alaska
is considered to be serving out-
side the continental limits of the
United tates, or "overseas."
Q. My daughter is a Wac. After
she is discharged, will she have
the same veteran's status as sol-
diers have?
A Your daughter is as much a
part of the Army as any other
soldier. She is subject to the same
rules and regulations during her
period of service. After she is dis-
It is the belief of a group of
aeronautical engineers that jet en-
gines can be installed in the tail of
sailplanes. This improvement would
enable the sportsman pilot to get
the plane off the ground without
assistance. After the plane is aloft
the rising air currents keep it soar-
ing, but the sportsman pilot could '
turn on the jet engine at any time
to obtain power to reach more de-
sirable air currents.or to evade bat)
weather. When the sportsman pilot
wished to descend he could glide to
a landing withoift the assistance Qf

charged sho will be eligible for
all veterans' rights and privileges.
Q. My brother Is disturbed fkbout
a situation between him and his
wife. He wants a divorce, but it
seems to be too expensive, and
too hard to get while he is in
the Army. Isn't there some way
the Army could help him with
ills problem?
A. There is a legal assistance
officer in your bi other's unit cr
at the post where he is stationed.
While this oificer cannot take rn
active part in obtainntg a divorce
for your brother, he can help him
::mire the assistance of a civilian
lawyer who will handle the mat-
ter, if the stiuation warrants, nt
little or no cost.
Q. My husband has been listed
by the Army as "missing in ac-
tion." Today I received all his
personal effects. Does this mean
that he is dead?
A No. Your husband will be
considered to be live for at least
a year following the date he was
first listed as missing in action,
unless the War Department se-
cures evdience that he has died.
The return ot his personal effects
does not ehang his status as mis."-
ing action.

tember and with it the opening
at achoolhousea, the attaining ot
citizenship through a public sys-

lows the equipping of children with
principles for self-government that
only could be learned in attend-
ance of a free school program.
The task that les before the in-
structors s a tremendous one, but
since standards of education have
advanced through the past years,
the teacher as well as the student
Is ready to take advantage of this
opportunity to cast out bigotry, ig-
norance, selfishness. The attitude
of both should be to insure the
future by stressing unity and peace.
Well have the history books drilled
in the forming of the states, the
Boston Tea Party, Died Scott De-
cision, the Revolutionary War,
carpet-baggers, assassination of
Lincoln and so on through the
background that brings us to the
present. Do the history books point
as well, to the lessons to be learned
for a tomorrow of problems in tac-
tics, politics, organization, cultural
and physical differences of the in-
ternational memberes of our fami'.y
of peacemaking and government,
in understanding among neighbors
through hard lessons taught
through actual experiences in other
history books? This is a task for
education in the schoolhouse oi
today in America.

J. M. Yarberry tells of know-
ing a certain farmer that had
three eligible daughters. The first
married and removed to Twin Falls,
Idaho. After a time the old gen-
tleman was informed he was
grandfather of twins—Twin Falls
twins. Later another of liis daugh-
ters married and moved to Three
Rivers, Wisconsin. When the old
man learned his Three Rivers
daughter was the mohter of l tlp-
let.;; he began to lean to super-
stition. Hit third daughter then
advised him of her engagement,
telling her daddy after the cere-
mony of her intention to move
from the :iome town whereupon
the fond parent cleared his throat
and remarked: "It's ail light,
daughter, but for Pete5s sake keep
away from the Thousand Islands."
Legendry is the U. S. service-
man's desire not to stay put, his
constant requests for transfers.
Latest story about that habit con-
cerns the group of seamen who
got to Heyven. "What kind of
sailors are they?" asked St Peter.
"They're American," replied his
assistant.
"Oh, well, let 'em in," said St.
Peter. "They'll want a transfer
in six months anyway!"

The patient was recovering from
pneumonia. He had asked repeat-
edly for food and finally the nurse-
served him a mere spoonful of
rice.
A few minutes later lite patient
called her and said: "Now I want
to read a little. Bring me a
postage stamp."
"Willie," said hLs mother, "I wish
you would run across the street
and sec how old Mrs. Brown is
this morning."
A frw minutes later, Willie re-
turned and reported: ' Mrs. Brown
says its none of your business how
old she is."
Young Angus had been out late
with Ills girl. When he reached
home he found his father waiting
up for him. "Have you been out
with the lassie again?" asked the
old man.
"Aye, father, but why do you
look so worried?" replied Angus.
" was Just wondering how much
the evening cost," he responded.
"No more than half a crown."
"Aye! That was not much."
"No, father, but It was all she
had."
P. S. Here's an Incident you
might find interesting. On a
mission recently one of the men
in my group was shot down. One
of the other pilots who saw him
land safely, landed beside him.
Tliey discarded both their para-
chutes, and stitlng on each others
lap in the cockpit of the undam-
aged plane, took off and return-
ed home safely. The rescuer got
the Silver Star for the deed.
