Capt. Eddie Jones of United Air Lines, flying in Alaska for the Air | Transport Command is a popular visitor at remote Army stations in the remote northern Territory. One reason, beside the fact that Eddie is a geod scout, can be seen in those mail pouches aboard his plane. They carry mighty wel- come letters to Army men in the Northiand — letiers which are just about as important as good food and other supplies, according to Army officials. It's the cordial relationships of the past year which prompt us to send Season's Greetings and to thank you for your paironage. W. GUCKER Avrtistic, Eh!
