Better Start Buy ing Now for That Man Overseas September 15 to October 15 Is Period For Mailing Christmas Parcels The mailing of Christmas gifts for Army and Navy personnel overseas must begin by Septem ber 15, if many of the men and women in the armed forces are to receive gifts this Christmas sea son, according to Postmaster T. M. Harris. 'Christmas gifts may be mail ed by Parcel Post to men and wo men overseas between September 15 and October Jo." Harris said. "After the latter date, such par cels may not be mailed unless a written request from the service man or servicewonian for the ar ticle is presented with each par- 1 cel." > Postmaster Harris gave these reasons for early mailing dates. The vast distances that the par cels. must travel to reach meu and women at war fronts and stations; frequent transfers of thousands of men from one loca tion to another, which means for warding of the mail and consumes additional time: and the necessi ty for giving preference to rein forcements. arms. munitions, medicine, and food in allotment of shipping space. Rules For Mailings Rules for Christmas mailings to the fighting forces overseas were made public in June for the guidance of early shoppers. The moit important rules are: "The parcel must not exceed five pounds, and must not be more than 15 inches in length or 36 inches in length and girth combined. It should be marked 'Christmas parcel'. "Not more than one parcel mav be mailed in any one week to the same member of the armed forces by or in behalf of the same mail er. V "The parcel must be well and strongly packed in a container of metal, wood, trong fiber board, or similar material, then wrap ped in strong paper and tied with twine. The cover should be such that it can be opened readily for censorship. The contents should , oe packed tightly. Perishable goods, such a? fruits that may spoil, are prohib ited. Intoxicants, inflamable ma terials such as matches or lighter fluids, poisons, and anything that ma'r damage other mail, also are prohibited. Gifts enclosed in giass should be substantially packed to avoid breakage. Sharp instruments, such as razors and knives, must have their edges and points protected so that thev can not cut through the coverings and injure postal personnel or dam age other packages. "Since the armed forces are being supplied with food and clothing, the Army and Navy re commend against these as gifts "Addresses must be written clearly and completely. In addi tion to the return address of the SV" ?!' 8 1parcel for an Army man should show the name, rank \r my serial number, branch of ser vice, organization. Army post office number, and name of the postoffice through which the par cel is routed. "The address on a parcel for a Navy man should include the name and rank or rating of th<> addressee, the Naval unit to which he is assigned and the Navynumber assigned thereto, or the name 6f his' ship, and the fleet postoffice through which the parcel is routed." Only valuable papers mav be registered, and there is no insur ance. Money should be sent by postal money, order. The following exceptions to the above are made for Naval personnel: Packages will be ac cepted as late as Nov. 1st. Jtail for Navy. Marine Corps or Coast Guar may be accepted for regis Entrance Age For Children Supt. Wiley F. Mitchell submits the following correspondence to clear up the childrens age eligi bility to enter school: To the Editor ? In view of the fact that a good number of par ents are confused concerning the Law governing the age at which children are to be allowed to en ter the public schools for the first time. 1 am quoting below a letter recently received from Mr. Clyde A. Erwin. State Superin tendent of Public Instruction, and would like to request that this letter be published in your paper. Very truly yours, Wiley F. Mitchell, Supt.. Franklin County Schools. v COPY August 24th, 1943. To County and City Superintendents, ? Greetings: At its last meeting the State Board of Education requested me to call your attention to the fact that the school law controlling the entrance age of children has not been changed, and that it ex pects every superintendent, prin cipal and teacher 4o see that the provisions of this law are carried out in full. The law specilcally provides that no child may enter school unless that child is six years of age on pr before October 1st. As you will recall, several ef forts were.ipade in the last Leg islature to change or modify this I law but every effort was decis ively defeated by the Legislature. It is therefore incumbent upon us. to enforce this law strictly until it is changed by the Gener al Assembly. There is no authori ty vested in any agency to change or modify the law, and there is a moral' and legal responsibility resting upon every school official to see that its provisions are car ried out in every respect. I am sure that you will give your wholehearted cooperation in this matter even though you may share my opinion that it would have been wiser if the law had been modified along the lines suggested to the last General As sembly. With best wishes and kindest personal regards. I am (Signed I Clyde A." Erwin, State Superintendent Public Instruction. ? o SOLDIERS BEHAVE Raleigh. Aug. 31. ?

But it is hard to savy about throwing National Socialism off our front door-step while we are letting the same kind of varment sneak in at our back door. If German socialism is bad medi cine and we gotta spend 10,000 million to quarantine it. I am up a stump about the U.S.A. pour ing more billions into things like ITVA, and 100 other foreign-type ventures.

JO SERRA. o FORESTRY EXHIBIT DISPLAY ED AT SEABOARD RAIL WAY PASSENGER STATION Raleigh, August 31. ? The In dustrial Department of the Sea board Air Line Railway has on display at the Raleigh Passenger Station an Exhibit which shows the importance of the forests of North Carolina and the South east. according to Charles A. Gillett. Industrial Forester for the Seaboard Air Line Railway. The six states of Yirginia, North Car olina. South Carolina. Georgia. Florida and Alabama are promi nently displayed. The National Forests, the State Forests and the private forest land under organ ized forest fire control are shown in color. The Wood-using indus tries. including the many pulp mills located on the Seaboard System, are clearly Indicated. Perched above the slogan "Grow ing Trees for Industry" are three beautiful birds. Cypress knees surround the base of the Exhibit. The lighting effects have been so handled that the entire Exhibit i9 attractive and effective. The Exhibit will be displayed at var ious Railway Stations and otner important locations for about thirty days at each place. The Exhibit will remain on display in the waiting room of the new Seaboard Passenger Station dur ing the month of September. o Pick cotton before it suffers weather damage, pick only when dry, and keep, out the txash, are the suggestions of the cotton spec ialists at State College. The sup ply of good cotton is seriously short. The railroads of America are backing industry to the limit in the war of production. Only tlie 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 the prosperity of its patrons, the Seacard lias been working over a long period of time lo* tiie economic development of the territory it serves. The Seaboard's interest extends beyor.d the location of new plants. It is equally concerned with the success of all industry served by its Line. Its policy !> to provide adequate service and to adjust the freight rates on raw t rials and finished products to enable these industries to compete witii similar industries whether located in the South or elsewhere. Remarkable progress lias 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 Partners With Industry. BACK THE ATTACK WITH WA ft BONDS RAILWAY Om ot Ammriea't tafroods ?
