Here is some advice from an
army censor with the United
Stulcs army in New Caledonia,
and released through World Wide
pre**, regarding letter* to soldier*

■'Write a* frequently a* possible
and Include everything you can
think of. 1-ctters from home are
the greatest morale builder* for
troop* in foreign land*.
"Nothing is too trivial to be of
interest to the boy* Write every
thing ubout the family and the
neighbor* if the cat ha* kitten*,
or the mare break* a leg, tell him
that, too.
"Of course, do not write any
thing about defense project* in
your vicinity But don't hesitate to
tell him everything else including
the effect the war has had on
your family life.
"Censor* are vitally interested
in seeing that the boys get all
possible new* and they will okay
ulmost anything you write.
"You don’t have to use any
special kind of paper and ink. Just
write with whatever material you
have, see that the letter is proper
ly adressed nnd it will be delivered
i . «piickly as possible. "
Here are the adresses given to
