The American Legion is collecting" Christmas gifts for army and navy hospitals and jrou'rp' Invited to drop a little gift into the Legion collection while you're doing your own Christmas shopping. To make it easy to give, the legion has made special arrangement with downtown stores so that you can leave your present-for-a-service-peron right in h.

aAr uhrrn vou may buy it. If you like. Presents may ilji left at lesrion Dosts throughout the city and at the Bed Cross Camp and hospital service headquarters, 335 East Flagler street. Your little remembrance doesn't have to be. anything should be something practical, and you should indicate on the package, if you have it gift-wrapped yourself, whether the present is intended for a man or woman.

Kignt nere, we might add, is a good time to remind Christmas shoppers that our women of our serv ices must have a happy Christ mas. too. Very often people seem to forget that the girls are doing a big job, too, and most offerings go to men in uniform. Few invitations to holiday dinners, few other such offerings come the way of the ladies in the services. Let's see if some of us can't remedy that little circum stance.

And now we get down to DirlttniM trr-n deeflrations and Christmas lights, which Commander Mills haa aked that we emphasize above almoftt everything elae. This year the lwarcity of the little colored lights and bright nau bles is much worse than it was last, and it's going to be a lot harder to decorate those trees for the army and navy hospitals. Moreover, this year, too, the numbers of returnees is far greater than last, and hence there'll be need many, many more trees. for But the Red Cross and the American Legion, as well as about 21 organizations throughout Dade County, have decided that those trees will be decorated. Never let it be said, the members insist, that Christmas couldn't be Christmas for want for a few decorations and the sparkling of a few little lights that could be ahared by Miamiana who must have a few extras in every home.

Just one string of lights would help an awful lot Think how much greater your own enjoyment of the Christmas win be, if you can know that you have shared your cheer with hundreds of wounded, homesick, war-weary boys and girls whose hospital walls will dance with the shadows your little Christmas lights will help send forth next Christmas Eve! Wont you dig down in that old box or root around in the attic to ee if you can't resur rect bauble or lights for loan or gift to the Camp and IIos pital Service, 335 East Flagler street, Phone 3-3873. LATE MONDAY evening, we received for our regular He- ros Phone Fund manager cash donation made by a very attractive young lady who brought $55.50 from her firm's workers too late to have checked in officially. We gave the young lady a receipt for the money artd turned the cash over to the fund this morning, only to discover that we had failed to make note of the donor's name. The News likes to give proper recognition for this very fine donation toward the phone fund. If the young lady reads this, will she kindly let us know her firm's name, please? Thanks.

A SERVICEMAN who is sta tioned here, and "who is try ing to boost Miami instead of complaining," asks why doesn't Miami get safety-con scious? Why don't we do something about our traffic problem? The newspapers and the city could do a great deal for the war effort," he suggests, "by trying to establish a death' less-day program here and making the people safety con scious. Some cities in the coun try even with a larger popula tion, have wonderful safety records and Miami can do like wise, too." The navy man says he has a son going to school here, and that it would be "something of a relief to know that my teach ings to my son in regard to crossing of streets, would not be in vain because of the genera lack of safety con sciousness among our adult drivers."

Scarboro that the Police department's system of detective bureau operations is inadequate and affords little opportunity for detectives to combat an uprising swing in the amount of thievery in the City of Miami Wednesday were described by Safety Director Dan D. Rosenfelder as "unfortunate." "This Is just a little 'family squabble' that can be Ironed out easily," Rosenfelder explained.

City Manager A. B. Curry said "both Nelson, and Scarboro are good men. It's too bad that such a thing as their misunderstanding has to be blown up and get into newspapers. Chief To Meet Scarboro "I have talked with the Chief and Scarboro," said Rosenfelder, "and I think their differences can be ironed out very easily.

They are to got together this afternoon and do it." Nelson, for 36 years a member of the New York Police department, has been the Mi ami Police Chief since last spring. He installed a detective bureau system similar to that used by the New York department. Scarboro asserted there has recently been a serious inrrca.se in the number of robberies in the city and that at the same time the number of arrests for such crimes has shown a marked decline. In addition, he added: "I believe I speak for all my men and the strangest thing is that working hours are more favorable under the present system. Yet the men are asking for a system with 1ms fa vorable hours so they can get a chance to show results and pin up a record of achievement at the end of the year." Contrary Report It was reported that Scar- boro's men do not agree with his statement.

It was declared that arrests for robberies are on a higher standard today than they were before instal lation of the present system and that the detectives are upholding Chief Nelson's sys tem. Several members of the de partment said that "there Is generally an increase in robberies, here about this time of each year when the unde sirables begin to come down here from the north to take advantage of tourists in Mi ami during the winter sea son." "Ihave nothing to say at this time," Chief Nelson said Wednesday morning. Given Hawaii Assignment The two most excited WAVES in Miami Wednesday were Yeoman Mildred Kauffman and Storekeeper Frances E.
