...most-wanted items were. Those needs were modest-such things as a pair of dry socks and some writing material. TIME provided the tiny pencil, which the Christian Reform Laymen's League included in 200,000 packets to Viet Nam. Surprisingly, the minipencil is serving purposes far beyond postcard writing.
