Stories of Brooklyn Men and Women in U. S. War Service By d'Alessio THESE WOMEN! Your Wartime Problems With By RICHARD HART Fits of Gloom for Service Man Often Service 'Growing Pains' When suddenly that young fellow in the army or the navy starts writing grumpy, down-in-the-mouth letters, don't be too worried. He may even tell you that he's thinking of "going over the hill" or Red Cross Lists Repeal Donors In Plasma Drive If you donated a pint of blood to the ramy and navy through the Brooklyn Red Cross Blood Donor Center at 57 Willoughby on or before Oct. 25, you are eligible to make another donation after Sunday.

Phone the center today and make another appointment, The number is TRiangle 5-8040. The following persons who enlisted their blood for the duration at the center are among those who made repeat donations recently: he is sure he is going to sock his C. or top sergeant, in the jaw when next he meets him. He won't; dont worry. Or he may tell you how horrible the food has become at his camp, or how brutal the discipline yDEjr fM Jlfp 1 is, or how unfair his treatment has been.

This may only be a mood. Once to every man in (he service comes this "zero hour" which, in the last analysis, is akin to growing pains a period of readjustment to the grim realities of life in service. The old time top sergeant, who is generally a superb psychologist, knows that practically every man in his outfit goes through this phase at least once and comes out much the better man and soldier for it. COMING OF AGE It is no time, as any top kick will tell you, to coddle him. Apparently he is begging for sympathy; actually he will resent you if you take his outburst too seriously.

The very fact that he is "griping" about It is a healthy sign; it is his way of working out of his despondency. Life In the service army, navy or marines is never a blithesome picnic. It is an unnatural life. A lot of petty things happen. There are many unfairnesses.

Many silly things happen. Often the wrong fellow is penalized and the real offender goes scot free. Some officers should be buck privates and vice versa. Some boys get (he others not. It is not true that virtue and ability always get their reward.

It is no more true of life in the service than it is in civil life. When suddenly it dawns on a fellow that he is faced with some of these imponderable facts, he is liable to explode. Better let him solve the problem, whatever it is, by himself. It is he, not you, who has to learn to Jive with himself. ASIDES TO READERS To HELENE H.

It is true that the army is setting up a series of 14 receiving stations in this country for the handling of men who have returned on lurlough, but, alas, this does not mean that all men now serving overseas are scheduled to receive a furlough. These stations are being organized in anticipation of the time when overseas furloughs will become possible. To V. E. B.

re cently received the Silver Star for "courageous action unaer lire. Nine men of an infantry medical attachment, according to Alperts citation, found themselves cornered by a sizeable enemy force at Prea, during the October fighting. "Quickly Judsting the disposition of the enemy," the citation continues. "Alpert led a light machine-gun -ection to a flanking position and opened fire on them. "Equipped with machine-guns, mortars and a small field piece, the Germans were forced to retreat to a less advantageous position.

This resulted in the realease of the nine aid men and the subsequent capture of 30 prisoners." In addition to the award, Alpert mm- i i doll, but that depends on Dr. Brady Says: I flatter myself I'm no better and no worse than the general run of doctors and I deny that I chose the medical profession as a means of livelihood. On the contrary, I swear by the beard of Hippocrates that I never gave the matter of livelihood any thought until I had learned by painful experience in practice that you Just can't pattern after the old Doctor of Drum-tochty here in Yankeeland, because when the rent falls due you have to pay or else. My inspiration for choosing the medical profession was listening to my eldest brother's violin teacher, who was a medical student at the time, telling of the medical and surgical accomplishments of the day. A few years later the medical student violin teacher had entered practice and he became my preceptor.

And that system of medical training was an excellent one. The preceptor was a practicing physician who consented to take the medical student into his office as a sort of apprentice, clerk, assistant. The preceptor system passed when medical schools went highbrow and required college work for matriculation. I believe three or four Summer vacation seasons spent In a preceptor's office give the prospective physician a better preparation and background than four years of academic collegiate study can. Perhaps if the preceptor system were revived there would be as good doctors as we have now available at lower cost.

Carl Jordan, the world'a greatest authority on fleas, were the first complete set similar to others now being sent to museums and universities throughout the world. Their collector, Dr. C. Andresen Hubbard, Pacific University biologist and specialist on Western fleas, considers the gifts his contribution to the field of entomology and, although he does not tay so, to cementing world friendships. The set destined for Britain contains 100 microsopic slides each containing a male and female of an Individual species.

For Boys and Girls hard for boys and girls to stop thinking of what they will "get" for Christmas, but I should like to think of every young reader learn-ing to give. There is a saying, "It Is more blessed to give than to receive." Surely It is true that a great deal of Joy can be found in making other persons happy. Not only at Christmas but also at other times of the year we may make gifts of value to someore. The best gift, I think, is one made because we want to make it, not because we expect something In return. The so-called "exchange" of gifts is, to a certain extent, a matter of "trading" rather than giving.

Sometimes we can make a fine gift without buying anything at a store. For example, a child may help his mother clear the table after the Christmas feast and then help to wash and dry the dishes; After preparing a big dinner a mother is likely to be more tired than usual, and will be pleased to have her son or daughter lend a helping hand. friend, "Of course I'd like a sleeping your ceiling price!" Take My Word pQf Jf Frank Colby CHRISTMAS I Pondering on Christmas overseas of that homesick boy of yours and mine affects my thoughts so poignantly that I am not even going through the pretense of writing the usual "Merry Christmas" message. Instead, let us simply consider some interesting facts about the word Christinas. Christmas is formed from Christ plus mass, "a church festival," for in the beginning Christmas was a strictly sacred church holiday commemorating the Nativity, and had none of the present-day spirit of secular celebration.

The word mass, in the ecclesiastical sense, evolved from the Latin word missa, meaning "dismissal," for, it is said, the phrase Ite, missa est, "Go the congregation Is dismissed," was used at the end of church services. The word mass, "bulk: a large number or quantity," has an altogether different origin it is from the Latin massa, "a barley cake," hence, a kneaded mass of dough. Yule evolved from the Anglo-Saxon geol, "the feast." In ancient times December was called the "former yule." January was called the "latter yule." On Christmas Eve a large backlog was placed on the hearth for the Christmas fire, hence the term "yule log." The -tide of yuletide is from the Anglo-Saxon tld, meaning "time; season." In France Christmas is known as Noel, from the Latin natalis, "relating to birth or nativity." The same meaning is found in the Spanish term for Christmas, Natividad de Jesus, and the Italian Natale. The only sincere Christmas message I can contrive today is: Good luck to you and yours, and God bless and keep our sons. FRANK COLBY.

What an excitement it was to me to open presents when I was a boyj Each toy, game or other gift was a pleasure, and no doubt my eyes opened wide when certain things came my way. Very likely I shall never forget one "night before Christmas" when I was a very small boy, at a stage when I wondered whether there really was a Santa Claus. Someone had told me that Santa would come on the roof and that maybe I could hear him. When bedtime came, I went to bed but not to sleep.

I was listening to see whether I could hear a noise on the roof. I heard several noises about the house, but nothing to prove that Sanla was on the roof. I believe I did not go to sleep until almost midnight. Never after that did I stay awake to try to hear the coming of such a Christmas visitor. Times have changed since my boyhood.
