t JIX MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday, Bk. U. 1844 KlILE OBSERVANCE BY ARMED F Red Cross Sends Greetings to War Prisoners Tur key Main Food Item. Br United PrH Throughout the world on dusty, gray coral atolls, on sun baked desertland, on mud-plastered island bases, on Ice-crusted battlefields, on ships rolling in gale-swept seas, and in warm, comfortable camps right here at home, the men and women of the U. S. armed forces over the week-end began their celebra tion of Christmas. For many, it is hard to get excited about Christmas as the angry cannon roar out in mock ery against the scriptural injunc tion: Peace on earth; good will toward men. But neither shot nor shell; mud nor rain, beat nor cold, have dimmed the Christmas spirit. Misery holds no prejudices toward race or nationality. And the international committee of the Red Cross has recognized this by extending holiday greet ings t the more than 8,000,000 war prisoners held in thousands of camps in belligerent nations throughout the world Ger mans, Japanese, Italians, French and Americans. "The committee is well aware of your sorrows and anxieties," it said in world-wide short-wave radio broadcasts. "It also realizes how much more painful the ab sence from home becomes with the passing of time. "With that thought in mind, " " ' 'X'' ' .

For those millions of Ameri cans far from home, packages from parents and sweethearts. have helped, at least, to create the,, illusion of Christmas. In some places, Yankee Ingenuity has added to this illusion. Sgt. George H. Mattle, a ma rine corps combat correspond ent, writing from "everywhere in the Pacific," says its' the packages that do the trick no matter what they contain. One of the happiest GI's in the Pa cific, he relates, was the Joe who got a gift of a necktie, beautiful piece of haberdashery with light blue and pale yellow flowers rampant on a blood red field. Turkey, which is going to be conspicuous by its absence from lots of tables here at home, is the order of the day out in the field and in training camps. F L Washington, Dec. 23 U.R) President Roosevelt announced today that he has signed legisla tion providing for $1,000,000,000 worth of post war flood control projects with the "distinct under standing" that the measure in no way jeopardizes creation of the proposed Missouri River valley authority.

The flood control bill, signed yesterday by Mr. Roosevelt, in cludes authority for construction by the corps of engineers and the bureau of reclamation of im provements In the Missouri river basin which the president had previously recommended be de veloped and administered by a Missouri valley authority. fevv7aps"return Sacramento, Dec. 23.
