I have been meaning to write
to you for gome time, but I’m just
not the type that can sit right
down and write a letter.
I have been reading your ser
vice men’s column for some time
and enjoy it very much. In fact
it’s the only way of knowing where
all the fellows are that I used to
woik with, go to school with, etc.
There's only one thing wrong with
it and that is. that I don't get but
about half or less of the papers
published.
So from now on 1
would like you to send me the I.
V. News every week and will no
tify you of any change in address.
Enclosed is my check.
The last paper I saw told about
Bud Squire and it seems as tho
he is among the top ones who
have seen the most action. And
Harry Smith Jr. seerils to be get
ting action at a girl's college. I
think it would be great if the fel
lows would send in some kind of a
statement or article to the paper.
Especially those who have seel’
action. 1 haven't heard from Don
Hill or Bud Brooks, who were
among the first to join up before
the war.
As for myself, it is indefinite as
to when 1 will see action. 1 have
been assigned to the 43rd Fighter
Squadron but have not been given
a plane as yet. Everyone seems to
be in doubt as to why we’re here
and what they are going to do with
us. But eventually orders will get
here from the 4th service com
mand (which covers this section)
and things will start rolling again.
Up until now, I have been sta
tioned at Santa Ana, Calif.. Hem
et. Merced, all in California ami
received my commission at I.uke
Field, Phoenir, Ariz. I’ve flown
Ryans, Vultee. B. T. 13-A, North
American ATI 6 and Curtiss P-
40’s.
I'm now hoping for 51’s
(North American). I’m in the best
branch of the service, in a swell
outfit and this is a swell place.
But I have had a cold ever since
we arrived on the coast. Too much
of a change from Arizona.
Well there is not much more to
write, so until next time.
Sincerely yours.
JACK HAYDEN.

is taking her Xew Year's resolu

Gift That Transforme d the EJ................................................................. B

was “Thanks be unto God for His
unspeakable Gift." (11 Corinthians
9:15),
A New Year's party based on the
customs of other countries will pro
vide an appropriate theme for your
celebration this year Send out in
vitations decorated with an hour
glass or the Old and New Year, in
viting the guests to come in the cos
tume of some country. Ask each to
bring a "white elephant” possession,
securely wrapped, for as tradition
has it in Scotland, a package in the
hand of the guest insures the host a
bounteous year. (These gifts will be
exchanged later ir. the evening as
one of the party activities )
Colorful decorations are in order
This church enjoyed having the
for the party In the Orient, dark
Masons
attend in a group last Sun
green pine branches and light green
bamboo stalks are hung on the gate day morning, and cordially invite
posts, and tangerines and tangerine
like fruits are indicative of long life £$$$$555
and happiness. Bright red lobsters
and crabs are hung over doorways.
In China on New Year's day ev
eryone puts on brand new clothes
and goes visiting; so at our party
there may be a grand march with
judges, of course, to award prizes
for the prettiest, funniest, and most
unique costumes.
Y£0A
May Joy Be Yours.’
At the end of the march each per
son is given a card and a pencil. On
signal each tries to obtain as many
signatures as he can. He approaches
someone, bows in Chinese fashion,
saying "Kung Hi, Kung Hi” (I hum
bly wish you joy), and the other
replies "Sin Hi. Sin Hi" (May joy
be yours). ‘Then each writes down
the other's name
At the end of
five minutes the person with the
largest number of names receives a
trivial award.
In Belgium we hear of a "Sugar
Uncle." a "Sugar Aunt.” All the
keys disappear from the inside doors
in the houses before New Year’s
Day. Then, when an unsuspecting
aunt or uncle goes into a room alone,
the children rush to lock the doors
on the outside and do not permit the
aunt or uncle to come out until he
or she has promised ransom with
which the children will buy sugar
plums and candy Divide the group
into a number of circles with 10 to
20 players in each A leader is given
a key or a bunch of keys. He walks
around the group nodding at players
who fall in line behind him When
about half the members of the circle
are trailing along, he drops the key
and all dash to find places. The one
left out pays "ransom” by being
“it."
'First F ooter' Relay,
The circles may be easily straight
ened out into file formation for a
"First Footer” relay. In Scotland it
is considered good luck to be the
first to step into a house after mid
night. so there is a mad da:,h from
house to house after the stroke of
12. Each team is a would-be "first
footer " The leader counts to 12
and on "12" the first member of
each team dashes to a goal and
back, touching off the next player,
The first team finished is the lucky
one and receives a prize of cookies
or tiny cakes, as was the custom,
Boys and girls of Russia have a
rather strange custom.
On New
Year's Day they gc about throwing
peas and wheat at passers-by The
peas are thrown at enemies, while
the lighter wheat is reserved for
friends. Wheat grains are too small
to handle conveniently, so give ev
eryone eight or ten beans of one
kind and eight or ten of another
kind. Do not designate which is
"enemy" or "friend.” Guests
to trade beans with one another
at the end of five minutes the
with the fewest enemies and
most friends Is given a prize.
In France the children used to
leave their wooden shoes out at
Christmas time for presents, but the
adults exchange gifts at New Year's
time. In accordance with this cus
tom the "white elephants” may be
brought out and distributed In any
manner you like - by drawing or In
grab bag style
All the presents
should be opened on the spot as ar.
appropriate climax to the party
Paul Revere was born on New Year’s
Day, 1735. We hail that dayl And just
as he returned to his goldsmith's work,
long after his historic ride, so will we
return to the normal occupations of the
ways of peace. That day we also hail,
looking forward to it with renewed hope.
