It is preferable to print the address in large black letters. Enclosures must not be placed in the letters. V-Mail letters are photographed on micro-film by automatic ma chines at the rate of 2,000 to 2,500 per hour and the film rolls con taining 1,500 letters each are tran smitted to destinations. Reproduc tions are then made by other auto matic machines and delivered to the addressee in individual sealed window penalty envelopes. When V-Mail letters are address ed places where micro-film equip ment is not in operation, the letters are transmitted to destina tion in original form by the most expeditious means available. Even in these instances savings in weight and space are accomplish ed since there are approximately 97 V-Mail letters in a pound, whereas, ordinary letters average 40 per pound. The War, Navy and Post Office Departments all cooperated in veloping this Service, largely with a view to decreasing the volume of mail to be carried overseas and providing an expeditious service.

KIWANIANS TO HEAR SPEAKER AT MEET TODAY (Continued from Page One) United States we have ever heard.” He called the address "an electri fying challenge to the smug, apa thetic, and the whining citizens of a nation at war.” Taking editor Dennis's cue, the Kiwanis program committee, Fleming Touchstone, current chairman, began immediately, on July 6, to try to secure Mrs. Branch to speak to the Kiwanis Club. Much favorable comment has come in from over the state where Mrs. Branch has spoken in the in terest of the war pr'ogram. She is forceful, persuasive and withal sincere in her enthusiastic presen tation of a message all local citi zens should hear. And it is now possible for all the citizens to hear Mrs. Bradich Tuesday evening at 8:30 at the Me thodist Church in Covington. She has consented to remain over for the Mass Meeting sponsored by the committee on China War Relief, of which Mrs. R. M. Paty of Porterdale and Mr. W. C. MeGahee are co-chairmen. Details of that meeting are amply reported in this issue of the News. President Eady of the Kiwanis Club, commenting on these two speaking engagements of Mrs. Branch’s in Covington said, "I am most enthusiastic about Mrs. Branch’s visit to the Kiwanis Club and- am especially pleased that we are able to get her to remain over for the great Mass Meeting of the citjzens of Covington and sur , rounding communities.’’ Then he ; ^ consjder it something of a triumph for the Kiwanis program committee to be able to get a ; kgr Qf such force> who is so ; . n demand; andhe adde ,i j t ificanUy , "I hope Mrs. Branch ^ able to snitch at least a tiny bornb be fore she left the war zone ^ china j think perhaps we all need to hear the sound of an ex bomb .. !

SACRIFICE GADGETS SO OUR SOLDIERS MAY HAVE GUNS The Home Front Gives Up Automobiles, Tires And Many Other Items For America's War Effort. BY EVELYN DAY. Every day we Americans hear talk about a "second front” and while a second front would prove of great value from a military standpoint, there is another front on which every individual can serve. It is not a front where the war is fought with planes, tanks and guns. It’s a front where we make sacrifices of many luxuries and some necessities in order that the men on the firing lines might have the equipment to bring the war to a successful conclusion. It’s the "Home Front” where we sacrifice gadgets so that we may make guns. "But there is one front and one battle where everyone In the Unit- j ed states—every man, woman, and child—is in action, and will he pri vileged to remain in action throughout this war. That front is right here at home, in our daily lives and in our daily tasks. Here at home everyone will have the privilege of making whatever self denial is necessary, not only to supply our fighting men but to keep the economic structure of our country fortified and secure dur ing the war and after the war. “This will require the abandon ment not only of luxuries but of many other creature comforts.’’ Thus spoke^ out* President in a recent fireside chat. Now, Mr. and Mrs. Covington, would you like to know a few of the things we shall do without and WHY? At the head of the list we place new automobiles. We need, the metal that went into the autos, the machines that made them, and the men who have to know how to build them to make: tanks, planes, jeeps, shells, and guns, guns, guns! There's enough steel used in, mak ing one auto to make 26 heavy machine guns. And how about the new Tires we are doing without? All but 3 percent of our rubber came from areas now Axis-control led or from which shipments are now uncertain. Perhaps we won’t grumble about those retreads when we realize that 7 auto tires use the the rubber for one bomber tire. New typewriters are a thing of the past. Why? Mainly, the skill that made typewriters must now make small arms. More rtietal, more man-hours, and more rna chine-hours go jnto one typewriter than into one Garand rifle. Men in civilian clothes aren’t saying much about those cuffless ___— Agricultural News By County Agent (Continued from Page One) and Mr. Barnes has been the buy er each time. J. H. Dalton and Charlie Knight ginned their cotton at Spear s Gin in Mansfield. J. H, Dalton had one bale weighing 500 lbs. which graded Strict Low Middling. Char lie Knight two bales weighing 500 and 453 pounds which graded Middling. The three bales were bought bv A. E. Hays at 19 cents. It is fine to have the first cot ton in the county ginned but since this race is now over lets think about the qualitv of the cot ton we will market. Green damn cotton can not be properly ginned. If cotton is In poor condition the best ginner at the best gin cannot gin it without cutting the cotton. Cotton that is cut or rough ginned i will not bring top prices at the j warehouse. Cotton should be picked as free of tra<yi as possible. Foreign mat ter in the lint cotton and the gin preparation determines the grade Of course the stains and spots also enter into the picture when the price is determined.

THE CUFFS FROM TWENTY ONE MEN’S SUITS USE AS MUCH WOOL AS ONE ARMY UNIFORM. Mr. and Mrs. Covington are finding these things harder to buy: Hundreds of articles of iron, steel, cooper, brass, lead, tin, alum inum, including more than 400 articles of iron and steel alone. It includes metal things' ranging from roller coasters to dinner bells, spittoons to door mats, vot ing machines to lawn mowers. It also includes such metal-using things as radios, vacuum cleaners, refrigerators, washing machines, and outboard motors. And Miss Covington is finding certain kinds of jewelry and adornment hard to get. You know, of course, we need the iron and steel for guns, tanks, planes, and ships. We need the copper and brass for cartridges and shells. We need lead for bul lets to kill enemies. We need tin for soldering war machines and for preserving fighters’ food. ENOUGH STEEL GOES INTO ONE WASHING MACHINE TO MAKE SIX THREE-I N C H SHELLS FOR A 75 MM. FIELD HOWITZER. It isn’t as easy to get toothpaste and shaving cream in tin and lead tubes because we lost the source af three-quarters of our tin sup ply when we lost Malaya. Why are the girls painting their legs to look like stockings? In stead of criticizing you’ll regard this as a patroitic gesture when you remember that as much SILK GOES INTO ONE PARACHUTE AS GOES INTO MORE THAN H>0 PAIRS OF SILK STOCK \ INGS. And Nylon that would make 36 pairs of stockings is needed tor the shroud lines of one para chute. If you can’t rind that rubber raincoat you want, you’ll fdel very much an American after you know that the rubber was used in a gas mask. Mr. and Mrs. Covington have not yet found these things hard to buy but there’s not as much as they’d like to have: Razors and blades because the steel is needed for fins for bombs. Leather goods. We need more leather for our armies. Fighting men wear out leather fast. A pair of Army shoes takes twice the amount that goes into a pair of men’s dress ox fords. Woolens. We need more clothing for our Armies. It takes 100 pounds of wool a year to keep a fighter clothed. It takes ALL THE WOOL THAT GOES INTO 25 AVERAGE BLANKETS TO EQUIP AND CLOTHE A SOLD IER A YEAR. We will appreciate our vitamin A preparations now that they will be hard to get. We must share our vitamin A concentrates with the children of our Allies, their par ents, and their defenders. Lack of vitamin-bearing foods endangers their lives. A NIGHT FIGHTER NEEDS 5,000 UNITS OF VITA MIN ”,V’ A DAY. Last, but certainly not least, are the things we are having a scar city of and must share with one another: SUGAR. Some of our sources of sugar have been cut off by the war and some sugarcane is used to make industrial alcohol. The most important reason for sugar rationing is shortage of ships and the congestion of our inland transportation. THE ALCOHOL EQUIVALENT OF A POUND OF SUGAR WOULD GIVE US 4/ SHOTS AT THE JAPS. GASO LINE. A fully loaded Flying Fortress uses as much gasoline in an hour as Mr. and Mrs. Coving ton’s auto does in six months. So there you are folks.
