Clamp your bronze A.R.C. pins so that they do\nnot become unhooked and lost.\nlie have decided to wear white shirt bloused with a black four-\nin-hand tie to be supplied by the nurse. loys'sshirts are very suitable,\nbut a blouse with a convertible collar serves a double purpose - takes\nthe tie well and can be left open in summer. Three with long sleeves are\nrequired. If you have any with short sleeves, bring them along. If you\nhave a steamer rug, you will rind it very useful and it can be strapped\nto the outside of your luggage. A good suggestion is to have some kind\nof purse or container that can be attached to your person to carry your\nmoney and passport.\nThere may be some delay in obtaining passports until we know just\nwhat boat we will be säiling on. So do not be disturbed if you fail to\nreceive yours shortly after application has been filed.\n8\nN\nU"
