V-Mail Usage Urged > By Admiral Nimitz Pacific Fleet Head Urges Mail Usage Great Lakes. 111.. Sept. 3.—Admiral Chester W. Nlmltx. commander-in-chief of the Pacific fleet, today issued an appeal to families of service personnel to u*e the new. fast V-Mail system for correspondence from the mainland to forces afloat and afield. At the same time, he declared that greater use must be made of this space and weight-saving airmail service by officer* and men of the fleet, writing letters home. The commander-in-chief of the Pacific fleet sass: "Every soldier, sailor and marine in the Pacific area should take full advantage of the opportunity offered by V-Mail. Delivery of personal correspondence by means of microfilm will solve some of our mail difficulties, and should ease the congestion now present in our gr-atly overtaxed postal system." In the first Pacific fleet V-Mail letter, sent by Admiral N'imltx to secretary of the navy Knox, this same sentiment was stressed. I’a- ifi<- F'-.-t V-Mail authorities pointed out that speed, privacy and economy should make use of this microfilm service attractive to the armed forces. Whereas regular airmail from the Hawiaian area to Pacific coast points often tak-* many days—even going by convoy when mails are unusually congested V-Mail to these same cities averages only four days. V-Mail for east roast points takes only six days from the time of posting to arrival at | its addressed destination. In the fleet. mail clerks have i been supplied with special V-Mail forms. Letters written on these I blank* and posted for censorship I are not read again until they reach the addressees. Hawaiian urea V-Mail is photographed on 16-milllnieter microfilm spools in Honolulu These rolls, two of which contain as many letter* as an ordinary mailpouch. go to the mainland by tire first available air transportation. They rate hlgh-st plolty; they go immediately. By fa*t mail tram, completed VMail is then sped to recipient*, who get 4-by-s*iinch enlargements of the tiny negatives lit official envelopes without charge. .Mainlands* corresponding with men afloat or afield may obtain tleir V-Mail blanks from any postoffice. Full instruction* appear on each form le tter* are sent to the nearest V-Mail center for forwarding by air to the soldier, sailor or marine* cocerned. Again, days are saved: and valuable airplane space is conserved for vital war goods. It was urged that service users of V Mail request their correspondent* to take advantage of this fast
