MEALS FOR SOLDIERS
NEW CALEDONIAN BAN (Special) NOUMEA, Nov. 12. Save for licensed sandwich bars and restaurants catering for troops visiting Noumea from the bush, the sale of foodstuffs to men of the American Forces is forbidden. This regulation was necessary because hotel and cafe keepers were neglecting the local population, including their old clients, in order to make extra profit out of the military. The troops are almost universally well behaved and popular, and for their part they appreciate the least hospitality extended to them and any opportunity of social contact with the civilian population. Many of them have made real progress with the French language, which presents so many difficulties in the early stages.
