V-MAIL SERVICE
INCREASING DAILY
The Post Office Department an
nounced today that the V-Mail
Service, inaugurated on June j!>
1942, is now past the experimental
stage, wkth each week Showing
large increases in the number of
letters mailed to American sol
diers overseas.
The War Department has in
creased its facilities to handle
promptly the volume expected in
the future.
Facilities for photographing and
reproducing V-Mail to and from
the United States nad the British
Isles, Australia, Inma, Hawaii and
other points are now in operation.
A similar service is being planned
for Iceland and other points where
tiie volume may warrant.
Pointing out that V-Mail pro
vides a safe means of communica
tion with members of our Aymed
Forces, the Post Office Depart
ment gave assurance that the film
(upon which the communications
are reproduced) are given the most
expeditious dispatch available. Be- I
cause of the small space taken up I
by the rolls of film, they often can
be carried on ferry planes or bomu-,
ers.
Every pound of weight which can '
be saved on air transports over- >
seas, said the Department, means'
that an equivalent amount of[
- weight can be allotted vital military
material.
In recognition of this, and in an
effort to insure delivery of mail
to as many men as possible at
overseas destinations when space
is limited, the War and Navy De
partments have directed that V-
Mail be given priority in dispatch
over all other classes—including
air mail—when transportation fa
cilities under control of those de
partments are used.
V-Mail letter stheets have been
distributed at all post offices; and
have been provided all military and
naval personnel at overseas points
through Army and Navy post of
fices and military channels.
Prvate firms nad individuals have
also been permitted by the Post Of
fice Department to reproduce th?
letter sneets. The sheets also will
be available soon to all stores sell
ing stationery.
V-Mail Service provides for the
use by patrons of a special letter
sheet form which is a combination
* letter and envelope of uniform size
and design. The patron writes his
message, completes the name and
address of the addressee and the
return card in the space provided,
folds, seals, and malls the letter in
the usual manner. Patrons are
warned that only the inner or let
ter side so V-Mail letters are photo
graphed, and should be careful to
show the complete address of the
person to whom the message is
sent in the panel provided therefor
above the space for the message. It
is preferable to print the address
in large block 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 2,00 to 2,500
per hour and the film rolls con
taining 1,500 letters each are trans
mitted to destinations. Reproduc
tions are then made by other auto
matic machines and delivered to
the adressee in individual sealed
window penalty envelopes.
When V-Mail letters are adressed
to places where micro-film equip
ment is not in operation, the let
ters are transmitted to destination
in original form by the most ex
peditious means available. Even in
these instances savings in weight
and space are accomplished since
there are approximately 97 V-Mail
letters in a pound, whereas, ordi
nary letters average 40 per pound.
_ The War, Navy and Post Office
* Departments all cooperated in de-
V veloping this Service, largely with
a view to decreasing the volume of |
mail to be carried overseas and]
* providing an expeditious service.,
The public Is urged to use it at
* every opportunity.

INO SUGAR NEEDED
EOR GRAPE JUICE
SAYS HOME AGENT
Chattooga county home demon
stration agent, Miss Nell Parish re
minded farm women this week
hat grape juice bottled now with
out sugar can be made into jelly,
i glass or two at a time, late on in
the year if the sugar supply is low
“In fact, it is better no! to add
■ugar when putting up grape juice
o be used in making jelly later
■n,” she said.
“When bottled for jelly stock,”
Miss Parish explained, “the grape:
should be cooked before pressing
out juice in order to develop the
pectin. This method insures get
ting rid of crystals, which are cb
jectionable in jelly.”
The agent also pointed out that
•rrape juice is a wholesome and de
”cious drink, and suggested tha
it be used more for this purpose
The best quality of juice for
drinking purposes can be obtained’
by cold pressing, using heat onl
after bottling to sterilize the prod
uct, she said. In making this juice
strain it through a double thick
ness of cheese cloth, and if a
juice free of sediment is wanted
let it stand in a cool place for a
few hours. Then pour off carefull"
to free from the drugs which will
remain in the bottom.
“Sugar may be added to this
juice if desired,” Miss Parish con
cluded. “and if this is done one cup
to one gallon of juice will be
needed.”

Local Ration Board
Has Tremendous Job
Due to current war condition;
and the depleted supply of rubber
remaining in this country, the Of
fice of Price Administration has
announced that September and
subsequent monthly tire quotas
must be reduced in order that the
country as a whole may be kept
within the year’s quota of rubber
allotted by the War Production
| Board.
Local War Price and Rationing
Boards have a tremendous job con-'
fronting them in that they must al
low certificates for tires only tc
those vehicles most essential to
the war effort and to the commu
nity.
Tire abuse and neglect can not
be tolerated, even from these mos
essential applicants. A War Price
and Rationing Board has full au
thority to deny tires to an applicant
who has deliberately abused his
tires by overloading and excessive
speeds, or other abuses.
All vehicles can and must use.
a number of recapped tires if es
sential functions of the war eTort
and community are to be maintan
ed. Every applicant must accept
recapped tires, unless he can prove
to the satisfaction of the local board
that his tires became unusable from
circumstances not resulting from
his abuse or neglect; or that the
Vehicle nl ist operate at exces
sive speeds to perform its normal
functions.
The Office of Price Administra
tion is doing everything possible to
keep essential vehicles operating,
but the wholehearted cooperation
of the general public will be a de
ciding factor.
