National Weir Fund Works - With All Relief Agencies John M. Archer Is The Chairman For Macon County The National War Fund is work ing in closest cooperation with tihe Red Cross and other war relief agencies, according to Robert >M. Hanes, State Chairman oi the Uni ?ted War Fund of North Carolina. John M. Archer is Macon County Chairman. Hanes pointed out tha/t, '(Per iodic meetings are held with an advisory gnoup in Washingtjcwi which represent Lend-Lejase, Start e Department, American Red Cross, Office of Foreign Relief and Re habilitation, and President's War Relief Control Board. It is neces sary for the success of the Nation al War Fund that these agencies work cooperatively. "The National War Fund instead of setting up duplicating machinery, uses existing facilites for relief dis tribution to the fullest possible extent. In this respect, the Amer ican Red Cross, the international Red Cross and its affiliated or ganizations in neutral as well as> belligerent countries have proved to be most helpful. Much of the United tXat ions' relief 'provided through National War Fund chan nels will be distributed through the experienced staff of the Interna tional Red Cross and its member groups. "Food and invalid packages for jorisoners of war provided from gifts to member agencies of the National War Fund are purchased, shipped and distributed through the American Red Cross. "Moreover, the itemized budget of National War Fund agencies are reviewed in consultation with rep resentatives of the various govern meental agencies concerned with foreign relief operations and with the American Red Cross to inr sure, in ?> far as practicable, that there in no undesirable duplication in the allocation of funds or in the carrying out of the relief pro jects proposed." In support of tihe National War Fund, President Roosevelt said, "As Commander in Chief, I ask all our people to remember this ? that a share in the National War Fund is a share in winning the %ar."

"Christmas Mailing Month The Army Postal Service not only believes in doing tdiat Christ mas shopping and mailrig early, but is pointing the way by announcing ihta September 15 will be "Christ mas Mailing Month" for gifts to soldiers overseas, according to Lt. Cokmed Hartley B. Dean, Chief of Postal Section, Headquarters 4th Service Command. These Christmas packages must conform to present limitations as to weight and size which are not over 5 pounds in weight, 15 inches in length and 36 inches in length and girtih combined. Packages mail ed during this period must be packed tightly in metal, wooden or strong double-faced corrugaited fib erboard boxes and should be mark ed "Christmas Gift- Parcel." Omly one package will be ac cepted for mailing by or on be half of the same person or con cern to or for the same addressee during any one week. This is im portant, Colonel Dean emphasized and checking by postal officiate will be in effect. For Christmas packages mailing, restrictions are relaxed to make it unnecessary for the mailer to pre sertt either a request or an envel ope bearing an APO cancellation at the time of mailing. Perishable articles cannot be mailed. The sending of parcels under the class ifkatoin of "fragile" is dicsouraged, Golonel Dean stated. Intoxicants, inflammable materials, or any arti cle whidh might kill or injure another or damage the mails can not be accepted. Addresses must be legible. Par cels addressed properly should show, in addition to the name and address of the sender, th ename, rank, Army serial number, branch of service, organization, APO num ber of the addressee and the post office through which the parcels are to be routed.

WluUlfouBuyWitU WAR BONDS Powder Monkey On board ship and in the artillery their buddies call them "powder monkeys." Not disrespectful, just a personal, intimate term between friends. Civilians call them gun crews. During a battle the crews of "powder monkeys" must work like trojans bringing the ammunition to% the guns. The gun may fire an anil aircraft 50 calibre shell or a broadside from the 18 inch guns of a great battle ship, but in either event the "pow der monkey" must pass millions of dollars' worth of ammunition to make the gun effective, and your savings in War Bonds are necessary to supply the financial ammunition that provides the shells.
