Chewing Gum and Toilet Articles In Demand For Yuletimc Presents

i Canadian troop; overseas have ‘nuts, raisins. and Canadian cheeses

very definite preferences when it comes to gifts, preferences created by shortages of the particular items in 012st Brltan. Christmas parcels. to be most acceptable, should, as a general rule, contain some of the following articles of food, clothing and luxuries, which are rated more or less according to the demand.

First and last, our men want eig- arettes. English brands are becom- ing more scarce and more expen- sives, and, besides, the men have not lost their tasta for Canadian varieties.

Chocolate bars are really appre- ciated, because, as a luxury, they have been almost eliminated in Bri- tain. Home-made candy, if packed in tins, and maple sugar and maple butter are other sweets at a pre- mium "over there."

Chewins gum stands high in the list of things themen of the armed forces like. It is dfificult to obtain 811m. due to the fact the chewing is primarily an American habit.

Toilet articles such as razor blades, tooth paste, shaving cream and 508D. and small hand-mirrors with a hole through the top to hang them up by, are all presents w giadden the heart oi’ any service man this Christmas time.

Delicac'es associated with Christ- mas and the holiday season such as fruit cakes, plum puddings, assorted

members of other forces serving with British forces in the U K.; members of His Majesty's forces serving in the Middle East and other places outside the U.K.: mem- bers of the Canadian Army on duty in the West Indies; members of the Canadian Army on duty in Iceland; personnel of H M. ships and H.M.C. ships abroad; nurses attached to units of these forces. It is be noted that the limit for the West Indies is 20 pounds, and that the same limit wpplles to members of the Canadian Army on duty in Newfoundland for which the rate is only 10 cents a pound" Nothing causes more headaches to tal authorities than inadequate-

y packed parcels for overseas ship- ,

ment. Often such parcels never reach their destination because of breakage or excessive damage. That in turn only means disappointment for the men overseas.

Postal authorities issue hints on packing from time to time, but poorly-packed articles will appear and regularly come to grief.

‘H1811. cardboard boxes, such as shoe boxes, and thin, wooden boxes should not be used; nor does a single sheet of ordinary brown paper afford silfficicnt, protection. Cylindrical tin faxes are very liable to damage.

The following foms of packing are recommended: (l) strong. dou- ble-cardboard boxes, preferably those made of corrugated cardboard and having lids which completely enclose the sides of the box, or (2) strrmg wooden boxes.

STRONG PACKING URGED

Additional security may be ob- tained by applying an outer cover- ing of linen calico, or canvas. which should be securely sewn or cement- ed up.

Foodstuffs such as cakes, biscuits fruit, etc, which are liable to dc-

riorutinn should not be sent unle‘\ enclosed 1:1 lair-tight receptacles Further, honey, Jam, and similar semi-liquids must be packed in tins with lids and jnint5 well soldered GIOVITI, and anything likely to be- come soft or sticky. such as choco- late or sweets. must be packed in ﬁldlls with well-fitted‘, screw-down

s .

Addresses should be printed in hold" letters in ink or indelible pencil in several places on the parcel itself.

an excellent gifts in the spirit of the season. They should, however, be securely packed in tins before shipments.

Packages from Montreal and vi- cinity might include some Oka cheese, because no other cheese tastes quite like it and many of the boys seem to have quite s yen for it

Concentrated fruit juice is much appreciated, according to recent re- ports from officers overseas, as are all kinds of canned fruit, meats, and fish.

Miscellaneous biscuits sent in tins are well-received. Those who have learned by bitter experience warn against sending anything in bottles Use tins or strong cardboard boxes.

Clothing shipped overseas consist: mainly of woolen comforts, but de- mands along these lines are pretty well supplied through the I.O.D.E. the Red Cross, and military auxil- iafes. that two types of comforts can really fill a need. They are mitts with a hole in the palm, and those little, woollen caps that go under- neath the steel helmets. Women know them better as "Little Aud- rey" caps and men know them as skull caps.

Two last items might be mention- ed. Flashlight batteries and bulbs are a premium in England. and letters received here indicate that the tiny flashlghts in the shape of a pen are most popular, Simple, rugged cigarette lighters with shields would also make fine pres- cnts. Don't get an expensive one because it is hard to replace broken parts these days.

‘Things not to send include, nat- urally. anything that will spoil. and also writing paper, because the boys get plenty of this whenever they wish it.

Soldiers Gift Parcels Enter U. K. Duty Free

Gift parcels, including tobacco and cigarettes, Cahadars armed forces overseas, are permitted entry into Great Britain duty free.

Parcels sent to members oi‘ the Canadian Army serving in the Bri- tish West Indies, however, are sub- ject to duty,except those destined for troops in Jamaica. I

Here is a general list of mailing rates for members of the armed forces overseas only: letters, three cents for the first ounce and W10 cents for each ounce thereafter; newspapers, one cent I01‘ T0111‘ ounces; printed matter one cent for tw: ounces; and parcel post, twelve cents per pound.

Air mail rates for soldiers run as follows: 3O cents for each half- ounce when destned for men over- seas; i0 cents each quarter-Ounce when destined for men in Jamaica. This mail should be addressed the same as regular mail, with full de- tails printed in ink on the letter- Airmail service is becoming more and more popular as a quick means of communication.
