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.

What you Ruy With
WAR BONDS
Booby Trap Detector
In the snow, in the sand, on the
beaches, on the roads, in the woods,
everywhere the Axis soldiers hide
“booby traps,” to slow the move
ment of oncoming fighting men of
the United Nations. 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.

PECAN RULING
CONFUSES TRADE
VSdalia, Ga., Nov. 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.
