Instructions Given For Sending Christmas Mail Overseas ANNOUNCE ALL DEADLINES FOR PACKAGES, CARDS Post Office Department Gives Full Information Re garding Mailing In order that Christmas parcels may reach the addressees on time and in good condition, arrange ments have been made by the Post Office Department in cooperation with the War and Navy Depart ments (the latter including the marines and Coast Guard) for the acceptance of such parcels for members of our armed forces serving outside the continental United States. Postmasters are re quested to bring the following re quirements to attention of mailers. TERM OVERSEAS The term “armed forces over seas” is regarded as covering the personnel of our armed forces who receive their mail through an A. P. O. or fleet post office in care of the postmaster at New York, N. Y., San Francisco, Calif., New Orleans, La., Miami, Fla., Presque Isle, Maine, or Seattle, Wash., or through a naval installation or station in care of the postmaster of Seattle. TIME OF MAILING Christmas parcels and Christmas cards for the Army personnel overseas must be mailed during the period beginning September 15, 1943, and ending October 15, 1943, the earlier the better while parcels and Christmas cards for members of the naval forces may be mailed as late as November 1. No requests from the addressees are required in connection with Christmas parcels mailed to Army personnel during this period only. Patrons should be encouraged to endorse each gift parcel “Christ mas Parcel.” Special effort will be made to effect delivery of all Christmas parcels mailed during that period in time for Christmas. SIZE AND WEIGHT In view of the urgent need for shipping space to transport ma terials directly essential to the war effort, Christmas parcels shall not exceed the present limits of 5 pounds in weight or 15 inches in length or 36 inches in length and girth combined. These Depart ments have pointed out also that members of the armed forces are amply provided with food and clothing, and the public is urged not to include such matter in gift parcels. However, not more than one Christmas parcel or package shall be accepted for mailing in any one week when sent by or on behalf of the same person or con cern to or for the same addressee. PREPARATION Owing to the great distance this mail must be transported and the handling and any storage it must undergo, it is absolutely necessary that all articles be packed in metal, wooden, or solid fiberboard, or strong doublefaced corrugated fi berboard or strong fully telescop ing cardboard boxes. The fiber board or cardboard boxes must be securely wrapped in strong paper and tied with twine. Furthermore, as each parcel is subject to cen sorship. delay in handling may be minimized by securing the cover ing of the parcel so as to permit ready inspection of the contents. Many combination packages will probably be made up, including miscellaneous toilet articles, hard candies, soaps, etc. The contents of such packages should be tight ly packed, in order that the several articles may not be loosened in transit, damaging the contents of the parcel itself or causing damage to the covering of the parcel. Christmas boxes should be inclosed in substantial containei’s. Candies in thin pasteboard boxes should be inclosed in wood, metal, or corrugated pasteboard.

Zachary, when she and family lived on the West coast a number of years ago, discovered a new way, at least a different method from any she had heard of here, of canning corn without a pressure cooker. She has found this hot water bath method very satisfactory and finds it preserves the fresh taste of the com better than any other method she has tried. She uses the Golden Cross variety, which was quite common in the West, but believes that any other variety of large, juicy kern els would prove equally as succes ful by this method. Here is how she does it: Cut grains of corn twice but do not scrape the ear, then pack in sterilized pint jars ( pints are safer than quarts) until the jar is about half full, then with the handle of a wooden potato masher, or any flat similar im plement, mash the kernels until the juice comes out, and continue adding kernels and mashing until the jar is about three-fourths full. Then put in jar one-half teaspoon each of sugar and salt, and finish filling jar with boiling water until jar is free of air. Seal jars tightly and place in hot water bath, the jars being well covered with wa ter, and allow to boil for three hours. Remove from water bath, and then possess yourself with patience until next winter when you open a jar and think you are eating fresh corn. Your Child’s Mental Health A distinguished child specialist has suggested a program for build ing good mental health in your growing child. In the first place he sets forth, begin with a pair of companionable parents of good physical and mental health, who should striye to provide a whole some, happy family atmosphere for the child. Establish early in the growing child the meaning of the word no. Win the child’s co operation by leading him to do what you want him to do and then celebrate with him his successes. Cultivate self-reliance in the child, aiming him, as he grows older, to make more choices and decisions for himself, under proper guidance and direction which has been in stilled within him all along. Let him get practice, as he gets older, at sharing in simple jobs and duties about the home. More on this subject will be included in this colunm another week. Handle Vitamins With Care Be careful of your vitamins! Some just don’t like cooking one bit. The three most deadly ene mies to vitamins are water, heat and air. Unfortunately, these three are also essential parts of most types of cooking. That is why, if you’re not careful, a large part of the vitamins in the foods you buy may be destroyed and never reach the table. Thanks to modern dis coveries of science, however, it is now known how to cook foods to retain a big percentage of vita mins, which is known as protective cooking. Four rules to follow for protective cooking of vegetables include: Use little or no water, thereby saving loss of water-solu ble vitamins; start fast and cook quickly by keeping to a minimum the time they are exposed to wa tile form may be placed in parcels without affecting the parcel post classification of such packages. Sharp-pointed* or sharp-edged in struments, such as razors, knives, etc., must have their points or edges protected so they cannot cut through their coverings and damage other mail or injure postal employees. PERISHABLE MATTER Perishable matter will not be accepted. PROHIBITED ARTICLES Intoxicants, inflammable materi als (including matches of all kinds and lighter fluids), and poisons, or compositions which may kill or injure another, or damage the mails, are unmailable. HOW TO ADDRESS PARCELS Addresses must be legible. Par cels addressed to overseas Army personnel should show, in addition to the name and address of the sender, the name, rank, Army serial number, branch of service, organization, A. P. O. number of the addressee, and the post office through which the parcels are to be routed, as, for instance: From: John R. Doe,. 205 West State St, Boston 8, Mass. To: Private William R.

Acquire Winning Ways An old axiom says, “To be liked, we must like.” We cannot expect people to like us unless we in, turn like them. Some people, as we know, are born with personal ity and possess the IT in large measure, but the majority of hu man beings need to acquire or develop winning ways. In the first place, if you want people to like you, forget all about yourself. If you want to interest them or win them, listen to them rather than talk to them, and do not absorb the entire conversation by talking about yourself. Remember that the other person is just as in terested in himself as you are in yourself. So don’t “hog” all the conversation. Another way to ac quire winning ways is to keep on the sunny side. “Laugh and the world laughs with you,” is an age old saying that bears repeating. Happiness, as well as love, makes the world go around, and people everywhere are eager to associate with those who keep on the sunny side of life. Grouchy or glum peo ple are not likely to win or hold many friends. Martha Ate The Apple Mrs. Mary Jane McCrary ques tioned Tom as to why he struck his little sister, Martha. Tom re plied, innocently, “Well, we were playing Adam and Eve, and in stead of tempting me with the apple, Martha just ate it all her self.” Grow Proteins For Your Hogs Growers who are producing hog meat for home use can easily sup ply a large percentage of the re quired protein in the hog diet from green forage crops like al falfa, the clovers, lespedeza, soy beans and cowpeas, says F. H. Smith, animal nutrition chemist at State College. He points out that pigs weighing less than 100 pounds require more protein than hogs weighing over this amount. Feeding records show that corn does not supply sufficient quantity or quality of protein to satisfy the needs of either young or old pigs. Pigs grown in a dry lot should also receive a protein supplement to complete the ration. Unless proteins are furnished, the grower is handicapped in get ting the most meat at the lowest cost says Smith. Under the exist ing feed shortage, it has been increasingly hard to get dairy by products, tankage, fish meal and the oil meals, so it is up to the hog grower to produce a much larger percentage of his own pro teins and not depend on commer cial channels, he points out. The WFA has asked the support of growers, ginners and the farm organizations in a program to im prive the grade of the 1943 cotton crop through better picking and ginning practices.

Over the phone came word from the Philadelphia Army Ordnance of a rush call from North Africa. A totally new kind of petroleum product was needed —a product never before made. Shipment must be made in eight days. How soon could 45,000 pounds be ready? In less than twenty-four hours our chemists, working from a rough description of the material, had an answer. MONDAY MORNING. Via Army Jeep a sample arrived at the laboratory. § Chemists took it apart, analyzed it. Refinery experts worked out manufacturing procedure. The Army pitched in to help gather needed materials. By Wednesday, as promised, 45,000 pounds of a petroleum product never before manufactured was being produced on schedule. v • THE FOLLOWiyG FRIDAY. Another call from Army Ordnance. Could we make an additional 150,000 pounds in less than a week? By mobilizing another plant, we thought we could...even though some of our equipment was breaking down under the strain of making a product it hadn’t been designed for. As the deadline approached, still another request came from the Army for an extra 50,000 pounds! 4 A. M. FRIDA Y, ONE WEEK LA TER. Express cars had been coupled to fast passenger trains...even giant Army bombers were helping to speed delivery. But the job was done! 245,554 pounds of new material for a job that had never been done before —and for an invasion that wrote a new page in history. 4 A little more than was asked, a little sooner than was promised!...That is how all of us can help, to shorten this war. It is the way the people of this and other organizations all J over the country are getting the job done—-the American way. • Latest headline news four times a day (twice on Sun days) . . .
