Army Ground Forces Move
To Involve 550 Personnel
Approximately 550 military and
civilian personnel are involved in
the move of Army Ground Forces
headquarters from the Pentagon to
Fort Monroe, Va., starting next
Tuesday, it was announced today.
The breakdown includes 135 civil
ians and 415 officers and enlisted
personnel, but in the case of the
civilians moving from Washington
is not compulsory. Headquarters
will open officially at the Virginia
post on October 1.

chief of staff for personnel, wlil re

group, including the information
section.

John Hodiak plays the leading
role in “Somewhere in the Night"
and bears up as well as anyone
could be expected to under all the
battering he takes. Others who
help give the affair life are Lloyd

But listen, folks, you don’t have to put up a sign to shut your
children out of their home. Sharp words can do it just as com
pletely, just as quickly.
For, if your children's ears ring with . . , “please don’t slam
that door” . . . “don’t track mud all over the kitchen Hoor” . . .
“for pity’s sake, don't slide down the bannister again” . . . you
are shutting them out.
In the golden memories of childhood, a home should be all
tangled up with the smell of baking in the kitchen (and licking
the frosting pan) . . . with candlelight suppers and you reading
Christopher Robin aloud at bedtime . .. with a floor where trains
speed around, a place where skates are close to the front door, a
shelf where dolls look down and are always smiling.
Such a home will be filled with music in the years to come—'
because you put up with the throes of practicing right now. Such
a home will send a musician, an artist, a writer, or an architect
out into the world—because you gritted your teeth and closed
your eyes to the fact that nails and paints and rubber cement are
hard on the furnishings.
Are you then to let your children "wreck" your home? Of
course not! But how can they learn—how can they gain a sense
of pride in home—unless it’s partly theirs? Unless they have a
place for their bikes and sleds and knickknacks? Unless they
have corners.. .or rooms of their oum that they can help decorate?
If your children are to grow up with a sense of good taste, they
must learn by doing; by trial and practice in partnership w ith you.
Yes, “Better your home . . . better your Living” can have a
wonderful meaning for the youngsters, just as it can for you. So
gather your family around you when you turn to your favorite
“home” magazine for ideas on home improvement. Let even the
little members in on budget talks, on trimming tricks, on the
weighty problems of a chair that will last versus a rocking horse
that won’t.
And your rewards will be great. For that’s the way to make
children stay home more, bring their friends home more, care
for their home more. *
Remember, a better home means better living for the
whole family!
