From Finland's experience came a re- versible 'ski uniform for camou- flage; It's white on one side, green on the other. The Army has taken tures of men in Lhe uniforms. You just can't them 30 feet away when they're wear- ing 'the green side out against a stand of pine. And naturally, wit the white c out, they're to spot in snow.

It's wider than an ordinary fo- boggan and in the center there i a slit. ‘The men ride on ‘the two outer strips when the toboggan is flying down hill. When it starts up grade they throw a lever and a caterpillar belt' fits down into the open slit. Reports are beginninz to com: in from ski camps that have nes- tled' high in snow-covered moun- tains. They telk of ‘ways to' kesp warm, to change clothes, to cook meals in ‘'spots where ‘the snow is waist high and the temperature; is" 80 below, A tired soldier can pitch tent at' night' in' 30-below temperature and peel all his elethes and get a good test pic- reversible hard Definitely ngw. s, grated o “chunked” sweet chocolate on top of whipped crea overing caramel’ puddings.
