The common cold, of course, is our greatest foe, and the medical department gives out about 600 sets of cold tablets a month. Miss Ryerson is constantly removing bits of Manhattan from our eyes, fixing people who get hit on the head by file drawers, patching up the bruised elbows of those who tilt their chairs back too far, mending fingers that get caught in doors...

Until recently, the farm project was confined to the South Pacific, where Ryerson and his 25 fieldmen also opened fisheries and started lumbering, by last spring were producing 250,000 board feet a day. But the program proved so satisfying that the Navy asked for the cultivation of 10,000 more acres in the Central Pacific as soon as the fighting moved on far enough.
