In Advance NOVEMBER IS CHRISTMAS MAILING MONTH Delivery of the annual flood of Christmas gifts and cards on time, always a serious problem, "will be more than a probem this year—it will be an impossibility—unless Christmas mailings are made large ly in November, Postmaster General Frank C. Walker warned today. “Transportation facilities are burdened to the limit with war ma terial* and personnel, and the Postal Service has sent more than thirty one thousand experienced employees into the Army and Navy," Mr. Walker said. “The only solution to the Christmas problem is: Mail in November. Mark your parcels, ‘Do Not Open Until Christmas.' That is the only way to avoid disappoint ment on Christmas Day not only for many civilians but also for millions of members of the armed forces who arc still in this country. “It is also the only way to avoid the possibility of a Christmas emer gency in the transportation and pos tal services. If the public will co operate by mailing their Christmas 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 No vember is readily ‘Christmas Mail ing Month.’ ” postal officials pointed out that the volume of mail now is far above any previous records, that railway cars by the hundreds have been dl veiled to war service and that the air lines have only about half at many planes as they once operated. More than two hundred thousand extra temporary employees normally arc employed to help with the holi day postal rush. This year, the ex tra employees will be largely women and high school boys and girls who are unable to work the long hour usually required and whose work wil be relatively slow. To deliver the Christmas mails on time, therefore, it is necessary tha. mailings be spread out over a longe period so that available transports tion equipment anil postal personnel can be used during more weeks. It will be utterly impossible to make the deliveries by Christmas if mail ers wait until the last three weeks before the holiday, as in normal years. 'l..ne is another reason for shop ping and mailing earlier than ever before. Retail stores are short handed. Purchasers can avoid chopping in crowded stores, long waits for service, and other incon veniences of late shopping if they buy now. They will also doubtless have a better choice erf merchandise t1... : vid be available later. r u.dmaster General Walker ob served that his warning is not an attempt to tell the public what to do; it is only an advance notiftca lion of what will happen if they i.n .. .ate. He feels that the public j„ entil'd to the facts, and that when they know them, they will de «idc to Mail in November.

They have been saying (not very loudly, of course) there is little im portant legislation to be handled be fore the big appropriation bills come up in January, and that the trouble with the country now is, there are too many laws. No more important work could be done than to have the members of each congressional committee as signed to meet daily from now un til January solely in search of waste In expenditures. An earnest effort might save billions. Example: The Breakers hotel at Palm Beach, huge, world-famous hostelry, was taken over by the war department a year ago at an annual t rental of $350,000. The rent, of course, was not made public, nor has any mention been made of the detailed use to which the hotel has been put, excuse for its acquisition was that it would be used as a hos pital. Now, nearly a year later, ap proximately $900,000 has been spent on it, I understand, but only three floors have been occupied and never has the place accommodated more than 150 patients. The waste is obvious, colossal, in excusable, every cent of that money could have been saved by us ing vacant civil hospital space in that area. A week ago, the army site board had a meeting at the Breakers and decided to make this lavish, rich man's hotel into a permanent army hospital, although a few miles away at Boca Raton, the army already is paying $50,000 a year rent for a project which would make an inex pensive and ideal substitute. The Boca Raton club has about 400 rooms, spacious grounds on the ocean, low rental, and is quiet. The army, apparently, always does things the hard way. This incident no doubt can be duplicated a million times in a mil lion different phases of the war ef fort. Ilie details of such waste natu rally are not publicized by the army, in fact are covered by supposedly military censorship, although no military information is involved. Only if congressional committees start pursuing inept officials may the truth be known. With taxes nearing the endurable limit and repeated bond drives nec essary to raise money for the vast expenditures (amounting to 5277,- ■IOO,OOO a day in September), the necessities of economy assume an importance beyond any other pend ing subject. The appropriations committees have hired additional clerical help to sift expenditures for waste, but the drive for economy has lacked the energy necessary to make it mean something substantial. This is a job not for one committee or clerks, but for the whole congress represented on every committee, dealing with civilian as well as mili tary expenditures. Other duties will be shirked if con gress slips away. Appearance of ClO’s Philip Murray seems to have slowed down or stopped the move ment for a sales tax, at least tem porarily, but something should be done about the present incomprehen sible tax system. Congress cannot just go away and let the tax com plexities gather dust on the commit tee desk. The question of food subsidies also must be straightened out. A com promise settlement between con gress and the administration prob ably will have to be made. The lend-lease investigation must be ardently pursued. Congress does not lack business, but rather the will to work out the business it should do. • • • INVASION OF BURMA Our heavy bombings in Burma have caused a general expectation of invasion. True, the Indians and Chinese have been training and building armies for some time for the purpose. B.ut invasion will re quire an enormous store of equip ment which can be accumulated only gradually. Comments from India are apt to be more accurate. They suggest our air activity is directed mainly toward breaking up an ex pected Jap attack on India. The Japs recently moved a considerable force from east to west Burma, as if to threaten an attack. • • • guiding fact to be remembered about the Stalin-Hull news from Mos cow is that the Russian newspapers exist, not primarily for the purpose of giving out news, but to further the interests of the Soviet govern ment. Commenting upon the trend of the talks, therefore, probably will remain quite useless until official an nouncements are issued afterward by the participants. Mr. Hull is primarily interested in trade, not in military matters, and Russia will need goods of every char acter after the war. WHEELER COUNTY EAGLE, ALaMO, Friday. November 12,19^2 Radio Legion Drive For U. S ± Bonds Georgia Counties Respond to Melton’s Appeal for $11,000,000 Sales. Evans, Newton and Pulaski counties led Georgia by going over the top in tha first day of the American Legion's November War Bond drive and Quim by Melton, Campaign Chief and Edi tor of the Griffin News, joined with Charles A. Stair, Chairman of the State War Finance Committee, in pre dicting a great victory celebration on Armistice Day. Spurred on by dully “Georgia Bond wagon” broadcasts over Station WAGA, Atlanta, at 4:30 P.M., CWT, sponsored by The Constitution and an nounced by Lambdin Kay, 30,000 Le gionnaires and auxiliaries at 170 Posts were urging all citizens to buy bonds at the rate of a million dollars a day in honor of Georgians wearing Uncle Sain's uniform. The city of Griffin became the first municipality, and the Pomona Prod ucts company, of the same city, ranked as the state's first Industry to recog nize its fighting employees by bond purchases. Decatur, Ga., soon followed suit and the Georgia Power company and the Covington Mills joined the parade by respectively buying $200,- 000 and $150,000 of Treasury Savings Notes in tribute to workers in the armed forces. Undismayed by a raise in the state’s November bond quota from $10,000,000 to $11,000,000 three days after the big push began. Legionnaires in Barrow, Hall, Bibb, Heard, Rockdale, Musco gee, Habersham, Baldwin, Dougherty, Floyd, Ware, Glynn, Fayette, Troup, Sumter, Thomas, Houston, Crisp, Tel fair, and Fulton counties made early reports forecasting complete success. Clarke Luke, of Ocilla, Commander of the Georgia Legion, announced that the annual convention of Post Com manders and Adjutants in Atlanta last Sunday, at which Senator Richard B. Russell was the principal speaker, con verted itself into an enthusiastic War Bond;raily. .fuiET- — -’ B The World’s Best’ll Laboratory By Rufus T. Strohm Dean, International Correspondence Schools SCHOOLS and colleges spend mil lions of dollars on laboratories. Students pay hundreds of thousands every year in laboratory fees, Yet men and lAimen who have never gone to college study every day in rt -J 1 Rufus T. Strohm problems the student will have to face in a real-life job after gradua tion. No college has a steel mill or a shipyard set up within its Gothic walls. For technical training, no laboratory in the world gives op portunities equal to those offered by your own job. $ Every experienced teacher will tell you that the only knowledge a pupil thoroughly absorbs and re tains is material which he has put to use. That is the reason for drills and exercises and tests in the class room. It is the reason why "learn ing by doing" has become a watch word of modern education even in the elementary grades. And it is the reason why thousands of spare time students write me that they learn easiest when what they grasp under the study lamp tonight helps them solve problems on the job tomorrow. In your own job you have the world's best laboratory—but only if you make it so If you merely "hold down a job,” you get nothing out of it but a pay check, and you won’t get even that when hard times come or when the progress of industry leaves your job behind. But if by spare-time study you make use of this laboratory that is now at your disposal, then your job becomes a career. When peace comes, war industry will be changed to new kinds of production and new industries will be born and thousands of men with newly acquired technical training, released f^m service or from war production; will be seeking places for themselves. Those who find the best places, those most needed, will be those who have learned ^ow to learn on the job. F The world's best laboratory! Are you using it?

Only the close coordination born of a common cause could result in the extraordinary achievements of transportation and industry since the war began. . For many years the Seaboard Railway has recognized the interde pendence of industry and transportation On the established principle that the welfare of the railroad depends upon .he prosperity of its patrons, the Seaboard has been working over a long period of time for the economic development of the territory it serves. The Seaboard’s interest extend :j beyond the location of new’ plants. It is equally concerned with Die success of all industry served by its Line. Its policy is to provide adequate service and to adjust the freight rates on raw materials and finished products to enable these industries to compete with similar industries whether located m the South or clscw here Remarkable progress has been made in the industrial development of the South in recent years. Present indications point to further expansion in the post-war period. Seaboard will work in the future —as in the past —as 1 artners With Industry.
