LEAGUE OF WOMEN
VOTERS HOLD GOOD
MEETING FRIDAY
PROGRAM FOR CONVENTION
BRL-NSWICK TENTATIVELY
OUTLINED
The regular monthly meeting of the
League of Women Voters was an in¬
teresting event at the Y. W. C. A.
hall. Owing to the inclement weath¬
er, the attendance was small, though
the interest manifested made up for
the lack of number*.
T> e meeting was largely taken up
with discussion of plans for the com¬
ing state convention, which meets in
Brunswick in January. The entire
program, as outlined by Mrs. F. W.
Altstaetter, of Savannah, second vice
president of the state league was
read by the president, Mrs. G. V.
Cate, who presided, and approved by
the local league, The program for i
the convention is a very interesting i
one, and contains names of several'
prominent men and women who will
address the imeeting here. The full ;
program will be published at an early j
date. The tentative dates set for the j
convention are the 29th, 30th, and
31st of January, and this twill also be j
definitely decided upon soon. !
Several social affairs will be giv- j
en for the delegates, including a j
luncheon and tea, and committees ]
were named to handle all details.
Mrs. C. H. Leavy was named as
delegate from the local league, with
Mrs. AY. S. Nathan as alternate.
Owing to the small .attendance at
Friday’s meeting the study program
on the constitution of Georgia, was
eliminated, until a subsequent date.
The meeting adjourned, subject to
the call of the president.

doing other painful damage.
Hoyt was carried at once to the
city hospital and his wounds were

the wounds are painful, but not of a
very serious nature. Hoyt has many

THE BRUNSWICK NEWS
TWO NEW RULES
GO INTO EFFECT
DURING HOLIDAYS
POSTMASTER LEAVY ANNOUN
CES THAT POSTMEN NOT TO
COVER ROUTES XMAS DAY
Two new rules go into effect this
Christmas, announced Postmaster
Leavy today, which makes it all the
more important that people should
not wait until the very last days in
order to do their Christmas mailing.
For the first time in the history of
the service rural delivery carriers will
not be required to cover their routes
on Chistmas day, and also for the first
time since the establishment of city
delivery service carriers will be. re¬
quired to work only half a day on
Christmas. In fact the department
at Washington has ordered that every
city carrier in the United States be
permitted to eat his Christmas dinner
at home, and consequently has passed
an order that no carrier be permitted
to perform service after noon Christ
mas day.
This means, said the postmaster, in
discussing the usual Christmas rush,
that people should mail their pack
and postcards as early this week
as possible, it can be seen that par
cels mailed the latter part of the
week will r.ot reach their destination
until a day or two before Christmas;
there will naturally be a congestion
on next Monday, as no service is per¬
formed on Sunday, consequently the
carriers will be over-burdened Mon¬
day and Tuesday, working only half a
day, will not be able to deliver all of
their mail, provided of course, people,
as in former years wait too long to
do their mailing.
The .postmaster desires to call espe¬
cial attention to the mailing of
Christmas cards. “I have norticed,”
he said, “that people always wait un¬
til just a day or two before Christ¬
mas to send these greetings. I have
seen in the local office thousands of
cards mailed on Christmas eve. Post¬
al cards are harder to handle than let¬
ters and naturally it takes more
time, as a result, these cards, mailed
a day before Christmas for city de¬
livery cannot all be delivered Christ¬
mas and, as a reult, are not received
until the following day. I would like
to urge upon the patrons of the local
office not only to mail their packages
as early as possible the coming week,
but also to get their Christmas cards,
even those for city delivery, into the
office as soon as possible.”
The post office force is all ready for
the big Christinas rush, which will be¬
gin in real earnest tomorrow morning,
and with a little cooperation on the
part of the public- the offices hopes to
dispatch and deliver every Christmas
package and card reaching the local
office on or before Christmas day.
In preparing your packages if you
will follow these simple rules it will
greatly facilitate matters and insure
rapid handling:
AVrap all packages securely and
plainly address them.
Place your return address in the
upper right hand corner of all pack¬
ages.
Inelud the street address wherever
it is possible ot do so.
Do not enclose any writing in pack¬
ages, further than “Merry Christ¬
mas” or similar greetings.
And above all, mail your packages
and cards as early as possible this
week.

WHAT THE XMAS

THE BULK OF THE MONEY IS
SPENT IN FIGHTING
TUBERCULOSIS
In 1921 there were 107,000 deaths
from tuberculosis it: the United
States and on the basis of nine cases
to one death, which rate is the result
of five years’ experience at the Health
Demonstration at Framingham,
Mass., there were about 903,000 ac¬
tive cases.
Inasmuch as the tuberculosis death
rate for males (white) is nearly one
half higher than for females, and
since one out of every five deaths
from all causes between the producing
years, namely the ages 15 and 44, is
due to tuberculosis the actual cost of
tuberculosis to communities through
losing their wage-earners is really
a great deal more.
Certain occupations, also, are more
. conducive to the infection of tuber -
! culosis than others. Where dust

ceptibility to making tuberculosis

Barre, VI., for the years 1915-191$ a
study of the death rate among- gran¬

of the country. Bankers farmers,
clergymen and physicians show the
lowest rates.

to fight this scourge. Mrs. J. Hunt¬
