Mrs Navarro said today that she is ut- terly disgusted with the whole fe- Muring which all Christmas mail shall be posted for Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard personnel on overseas duty. To facilitate this effort, send. ers are requested to mark their) packages “Christmas parcel” and) to pay special attention to the ad-; dressing requirements. Hundreds; of packages are lost daily because senders do not wrap them strongly enough to withstand the handling through numerous postal and the; heat of a ship’s hold. i For the purposes of Christmas mail, the term “overseas” person- nel means men who receive their} mail through a Fleet Post Office at San Francisco, California, New York, New York, or Seattle, Wash- ington. Letters and parcels should contain the name and address of the sender, the name, rank or rat- length or 36 inches in Jength and girth combined. Not. more than one parcel will be accepted in | any one week from the same send- er for the same addressee. All articles should be packed in|’ metal, wooden or solid fiberboard, or strong doublefaced corrugated fiberboard or strong fully telescop- ing cardboard boxes. Fiberboard or cardboard boxes must be se- curely wrapped in strong paper and tied with twine. In addition, senders are caution- ed that delays caused by the ne- cessity of censorship will be mini- mized if the wrapping is secured so as to permit easy inspection of contents. Parcels should not include any weapons, perishables, intoxicants, poisons, or inflammable articles | such as matches or lighter fluid. In | sonable temperatures. general, the public is urged not|. to send food or clothing. Men over- seas afe amply provided with both, so shipping space for gifts should be used for other purposes.

As children are born, these attributes are latent in them, at best. They must be developed. -Eminent psychologists agree that the infant starts life with the predominant instincts of a savage; selfish, unreasoning and _ highly individualistic. The rapidity with which, and the degree to which, these in- stincts are modified by an in- creasing sense of social responsi- bility, of sportsmanship and of ob- ligation to observe the fights of others, depends to an overwhelm- ing degree upon his environment and to the ideals held up before them.

Likewise, while juvenile de- linquency increased in Jackson- ville 29 per cent between 1938 and 1939, there has not been a single case in this development since its occupancy. There has been a healthy increase in real es- tate values in property values in the neighborhood.” Space forbids further quota- tion. The question remains. Can we afford to let our chil- dren, white and colored, grow up and take the reins of government in their hands unless we do all that is necessary to see that those young hands are strong and clean? After all, it all boils down to a basic principle. “Except the Lord build the house, they . labor in vain that build it; except the Lord keep the city, the watchman ‘waketh but in vain.” - ANOTHER CAMP SHOW FOR OPERATING BASE The Key West Naval Operat- ing Base will play host to an- other of the USO-Camp Shows, July 13 when the _ rollickin revue “Just For Laughs” wil be presented in two perform- ances for officers and enlisted men and their special guests.
