Read this much talked about, much quoted column by Paul Mallon, and keep up with events in the nation’s capital. REGULARLY—IU THIS PAPER 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 terials 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 armqd forces who are 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 di verted to war service and that the air lines have only about half as many planes as they once operated. More than two hundred thousand extra temporary employees normally are 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 hours usually required and whose work wil be relatively slow. To deliver the Christmas mails on time, therefore, it is necessary that mailings be Spread out over a longer period so that available transporta tion equipment and postal personnel can be use if 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. There is another reason for shop ping and mailing earlier than ever ! before. Retail stores are short handed. Purchasers can avoid 1 shopping in crowded stores, long i waits for service, and other incon veniences of late shopping if they I buy now. They will also doubtless have a better choice of merchandise than will be available later. Postmaster General Walker ob served that his warning is not an i attempt to tell the public what to | do; it is only an advance notifica- I tion of what will happen if they I mail late. He feels that the public |is entitled to the facts, and that | when they know them, they will de -1 ride to Mail in November. Extra clean 1941 Ford Tudor. L w mileage; good tires.

The detector does the same work on land as' the mine sweeper does at sea. Like buying War Bends, the sol dier operating the detectors will never know 'just how much they have aided in the success of their campaign, but he knows his work is necessary and must be accom plished. If more Americans on the home front will come to realize this, the success of our War Bond cam paigns will be assured. U. S.

B.—lnquiries from growers and buyers of pecans over the south Georgia belt continue to pour into headquarters of the Georgia pecan auctions here, all ask ing about OPA regulations and the probable effect on prices to be paid for the papershell nuts in the im mediate future, J. B. Brewton, man ager of the auctions, says the in quiries indicate that both buyers and sellers are somewhat confused by the regulations issued last week by OPA and admits that he is in about the same degree of confusion as others interested in the pecan in dustry. However, two things are clear, namely, OPA intends to freeze pric es immediately so that pecans can be sold no higher than the prices 'rul ing for the same grade of nuts during the week of October 25 to November 1. It is also apparently the intention of OPA to reduce the prices of pecans at the end of the 60-day period, the price not to ex ceed S3BO per ton for seedlings and $468 per ton for improved varie ties. This equals 19 cents per vice Men’s Honor Roll to the county pound for seedlings and 23.4 cents per pound for the improved nuts. At the time the freeze order was issued, seedlings were selling at 25 to 29 cents and Schleys were selling at 35 to 37 cents per pound. The Georgia crop is usually sold about 50 per cent to the processors and 50 per cent to buyers who sup ply customers for immediate con sumption, this demand being heavi est during Thanksgiving and Christ has periods when prices are usually the highest. The demand and the Georgia sup ply of pecans will be out of the way before the 60-day time limit for pres ent prices expires, it is pointed out.
