STRAYHORN talks TO ‘NEXT OF KIN’ Sergeant William D. Strayhorn, recently repatriated from a Ger prison camp, told approxi „‘,elv 65 relatives of American -tenners of war and Red Cross S„rkcrs at a meeting last Thurs j at (he Third street USO center, :t the presence of their kin in a ■ cf! Was almost a sure guarantee fw'-vould come home safely. He answered many questions , nrt oeneral conditions in the *b s and told of Yankee inge in using bits of cloth, Red r-Js boxed food tins and other and ends to make many use i.fthings, including a clock that w= only a few minutes a day. It was the view of Red Cross n-nrkers present <hat if most of the in the armed forces come ?‘me as well adjusted as the ser ant their future and the country’s fijl be safe. The view was also •vnressed that relatives of men ip, in the fight would be reassur ed* if they could see the poise of ♦his returned veteran, and realize that verv large portions of those reported "missing are located later in" hospitals and prison camps. Announcements and suggestions L ere made at the meeting relating L eommunication with an pack ages for prisoners or war and in temees. Among other things it was (slated that Wilmington grocers and book stores are cooperating in securing books and scarce food items for the prisoners, who do most of their own cooking. | in the effort to see that every local prisoner of war gets all the articles and the best selection of articles that can be sent, the serv ices of the Home Service depart ment of the Red Cross and the prisoner of war lepzesentative tvere explained. It was indicated that this good work is being ex pedited for prisoners in German camps- . Because of transportation diffi culties and the attitude of the Jap anese government, little can be done for American prisoners of »r in the Orient. Recent con cessions by the Japznese and ar rangements with Russia do permit increased aid and the sending of | cablegrams by prionsers of war, and answers to these can be ar ranged by the Red Cross. _v TEMPLE CHURCH WILL NOTE DAY Large congregations are expect ed at both the morning and eve ning services today at Temple Bap tist church as the New Building lend Emphasis Day for November is observed.
