Christmas Wishes

To our men in the Solomons Australia. Africa, Ireland, Iceland, Hawaii, and other distant battle fronts a simple message of best wishes for the holiday season means more than they can express in words. The University and the Alumni Association arc sharing together the responsibility of cony eying the greetings of the season to Maine alumni in service.

President Hauck is sending a letter to every one of the more than 1200 men and women in uniform.

The Alumni Association is mailing to each one a complete list of his fellow alumni known to he in the service.

Each week copies of the Maine Campus are mailed to nearly 400 former members of the classes now in college and those of 1942.

Each month more than a thousand copies of the Alumnus arc sent to alumni who are serving with the Army, Navy, and the Marines.

Fraternities, major departments, and campus organizations arc also expressing their best wishes by letter and card to our service men and women.

The one source of information on which all of these best wishes depend is the list of names and addresses carried in the Alumni office. You can help us by sending the names of alumni in service to 11 Fernald Hall, Orono, Maine. We particularly need information concerning younger alumni and those who were recently inducted.

De cember, 1942 19 Wartime readjustments . . . #3 Here’s help with i n s u r a n c e salvage!

Metal scrap may cause family scraps — but the problem is not nearly so tough or technical as another kind of salvage — savings salvage. Most families make their largest investment in life insurance — and too often endanger that in vestment by sudden decisions. If you must adjust your insurance program, get sound advice first. Talk to any of the men listed below. They’re alumni of your college and they talk your language. They are also trained representatives of the First Mutual Life In- surance Company Chartered in America. Out of their experience you’ll get practical, constructive suggestions. They’ll help you make the most of your limited life insurance dollars — help you protect your present policies with premium loans if necessary. Check your protection now when you need it most. If none of these men is near you, you can get similar service at the New England Mutual SCRAP SALVAGE HAS BR0UGHT SOME office in your city. PAINFUL PROBLEMS TO THE WOOLSEY HOUSE
