CHRISTMAS MAILINGS MUST
BE READY BY DECEMBER 1ST
Commemorating’ the anniversary
of December 7, when the bombing
of Pearl Harbor took place, and
aince the United State* has been at
war with Japan, the International
Relation* Committee of the A. A.
U. W. branch at Tarleton College,
together with other organisation*
of the city will have a short pro-
gram at the College auditorium be-
ginning at 7:16 p. m. December 7.
The program as has been worked
out by those ip charge will be in-
teresting and entertaining and the
public is cordially invited to come.
The program is as follows and will
last about one hour: i
Rev. S. 0. Stewart will give the
invocation. This will be followed by
the showing of several war pic
tures which are furnished the Col-
lege by the War Department Im-
mediately following the showing of
the pictures Joseph A. Chandler
will make the principal address.
Bert Coffin will direct appropriate

gram. E. R. Moon, commander of
the American Legion will ask that
all ex-service men of World War
I come to the program in a body.
Other details will be published in

Tribune.
The bulk of the Christmas mail
must be in the postoffice by De-
cember 1 if deliveries on time are
to be assured* aocording to infor-
mation received hare by Postmas-
ter Emmett R. Moon from Smith
W. Purdum, Second Assistant
Postmaster General. My. Purdum
is responsible to Postmaster Gen-
eral Frank C. Walker for smooth
and-efficient air and railway mail
service.
Unprecedented wartime demands
on the postal and transportation
systems, plus a prospective record
volume of Christmas mailings, were
cited by Mr. Purdum as necessi-
tating earlier mailings than ever
before.
“It is physically impossible for
the railroads and air lines, bur-
dened with vitally important war
materials to handle Christmas
mailings’ as rapidly as in normal
toa W 1"
time—the period of about Decem-
ber 16 to 26—they simply cannot
be distributed in time, and thou-
sands of gifts will reach their des-
tinations after Christmas.”*
In 1241, about 21,960 mail cars
were required between December
12 and 24 to deliver Christmas
mails—enough cars to make a
train 270 miles long. This year,
the extra cars needed to move
holiday mails are largely being
used by the armed services, and
a severe shortage is in prospect
Railroads are cooperating by
converting some hundreds of steel
times,” Mr.
__„ as _
Purdum said.
‘If the
bulk cf the parcels and greeting
cards are held back until the usual

If anyone remarked that they
passed through where Tolar for-
merly was and asked what had be-
came of it, Just tell them that it is
covered up with peanuts. All stor-
age houses are full and every oth-
Transportation, has ordered that
unnecessary travel be curtailed to
the limit during the holiday sea-
son. But these measures cannot
assure deliveries of gifts on time
unless the public cooperates by
mailing eariy and thus spreading
the transportation load over a
longer period than usual.
