Clawson, master electrician, Signal Corps, Camp Donphan. In his letter he said, "The turkey was good and it also was sweet." Besides what Uncle Sam gave us, we got several packages from his nieces scattered around the country."

Many of them been in the trenches, and are either non-coms or officers. They wear their country's uniform.

"The Englishman is reserved and acts as though he were superior to us poor mortals who haven't seen actual service. The Frenchman is quiet, very willing, exact, polite, appreciative, and as he says, he is not here is an instructor, but only as an adder."

"The Frenchmen wear little marks on his coat sleeve to show the service and wounds, and also his rank," he said. "The sergeant whom we work with has four maks on his left sleeve. The first one shows one year of service in the trenches, and the other three indicated six months of service each. These marks are between the elbow and the elbow cleav. Below the elbow and near the wrist is the rank mark. It is a single strip of gold band if he is a sergeant and is set diagonally on the sleeve. On his right sleeve are two marks similar to the service stripes that indicate the number of wounds."

Prospects For Directory Are Not Encouraging
Innes, Bulline & Hackman
At a meeting of the Men's Student Council last night plans for a student directory were discussed. The names of students of the University probably could be included in the city directory at a cost of twenty-cents a name, but the council decided that not all the students would be willing to do this. It would be better to include the university directory because the Registrar does not have the phone number of the students this year.
A committee was appointed to work out and submit plans for the Permapent Income Bill to the council. Another committee was appointed to formulate plans for a service flag for the entire University.

Christmas Shopping
We urge the early buying of gifts not wholly for selfish reasons.
It is our policy to offer goods that are not commonplace; hence most of the articles we show cannot be duplicated at once or at all.
Our stocks are now at their best, and the advantage of making early selections need only be small.
You can advantageously buy modest-priced gifts here and your patronage will be valued.
The prestige of a gift from Gustafson's adds to its purchase price but much to its value.
