Early Mailing For Christmas Urgent Warning Issued By Postmaster General Delivery of the annual flood of f'hiistmas gifts and cards cn lime, always a serious problem, “will be more than a problem this year—lt will be an iinposslbilty — unleiwi Christ maw mailings are made largely in November.” postmaster general Frank (’. Walker, has notified Leo Kirsch, local postmaster. "Transportation facilities are burden- d to the limit with war material* and personnel, ami the postal service has sent more than 31. mm experienced empl yes Into the army and navy," Mr. Walker said. "The only solution to the Christmas problem Is: Mall in November. Mark your parcels, 'Do not open until Christmas.* That Is the only way to avoid disappointment on Christmas Day not only f r many civilians but also for millions of members of the armed forces who are still In this country. "It is also the only way to avoid the possibility of a Christmas emergency in the transportation and postal services. If the public will cooperate by mailing their Christinas parcels during November, we can handle a small volume of light, last-minute mailings, such as cards, up to December 10 —but We can do that and avoid an emergency only If November is really 'Christmas mailing month.'” Postal ofllclsls pointed out that the volume of mail now is far above any previous records, that railway cars by the hundreds have been diverted to war service and that the air lint* have only about half as many plan-s as they once operated. ALLIES SCORE (Contlnuwd Sresa rags 1) and mobile forces could rumble without any real resistance for more than 30 miles -outflanking the Arnncl mountains. The Germans are aware of the danger, and reportedly already are preparing for the coming defense of northern Italy. Reliable reports from the Italian frontier say that 20 additional German division# have been sent Into northern Maly. Most of them were withdrawn from France. And now. total Navi strength In Italy is estimated at somewhere around 75<-.ofH- men. -0 ALLIED AIRMEN tContlnuMl Frew Fswe ll* hours—a rate of one ton every minute-and a-half. In all. we lost 17 planes. Including 10 heavy bomlters and two mediums. But an official announcement says our gunners shot down at least 36 Nazi planes during the air battles. NAZIS CLAIM ALLIED (Contlnusd From Fags t) Pamphlets have been dropped in Rome by Allied plane* telling of Just «u< h a possibility. As far back as 1911. the British government charged that the Germans were keeping a -pedal squad ron of planes near Rome — all equipped with captured British bombs The British said the Germans planned to bomb the Vatican the first time the RAF bombed Rome The purported Nazi plan never developed l>ecau-e the two bombings of Rome were carried out by

American planes, with American bombs. Each time, of course, our fliers were careful not to drop any <-argu>s on the Vatican. JAPANESE MAKE ■ rnntlniMd From Fans 1» •everal important airfields.

For five hours the acting flight cergeant from Yorkshire fought off death Over the home field, he took charge again. After four tinsuccessful tries he landed the big plane safely in inky darkness. Nine hours later he died. For his deed. King George cited him with Britain's highest military honor—the Victoria Cross. And that's why part ts the cita-

Sure, we’ve contributed before but this time we’re asked and expected to give more. There are many humane causes that need our immediate attention and we cannot afford to turn our back on them. The thing to remember is that too many people are waiting to “let George do it.” They expect the other fellow to carry on the work. Our job in the National War Fund calls for every one to do his part. Let’s be thankful that we do not suffer from the horrors of war right here in our own country, as do the people for whom some of your contribution will go toward giving relief.
