Mail Christmas Gifts Early For Men in Overseas Service Packages Musi Be Limited In Size To Meet Regulations Parcels Should Be Mailed Before November 1 To Insure Delivery Instructions have been received by Postmaster John W. Darden relative to Christmas mail for members of our armed forces serving outside the , continental United States and in Alaska. Arrangements have been made by the Post Office Department in cooperation with the War and Na- ! vy Departments for the acceptance of Christmas parcels going to members of our armed forces serving abroad, but in order that such parcels may reach the addresses on time and in good condition the following require ments must be observed: Time of Mailing.—Christmas par cels and Christmas cards should be mailed during the period beginning October 1 and ending November 1. the earlier the better. Each gift par cel should be marked "Christmas Parcel." Special efforts will be made to deliver all parcels so mailed and marked before Christmas. Size and Weight.—Shipping space being limited. Christmas parcel should not exceed the present limits of 11 pounds in weight or 18 inches in length or 42 inches in length and girth combined. But this is too much, since shipping space is essential to the war effort, and the public is urg ed to cooperate by restricting the size of Christmas parcels to that of an ordinary shoe box and the weight to 6 pounds. Members of the arm ed forces are amply provided with food and clothing, so these should not be sent. Only one Christmas parcel will 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.

They are actually schooling themselves as firemen and policemen as other pub lic protectors train themselves. They are learning rules: what to do and when and how, what to tell others to do: where certain vital points are, what certain signals are; learning the work-out of theoretical problems such as might actually arise. They are giving their time—much of it, much more than you probably would guess—to the schooling. Much of this problem of preparedness is in keeping up the morale."

Tobacco Growers o£ Washington County Ready for Marketing Some Retarded By Contrary Weather Yet Going Strong Number Attend Opening of Eastern Carolina To bacco Markets While many tobacco growers in Washington county, delayed in their work by recent rains, are yet busy harvesting and curing their tobacco, some of them were represented at the opening of the Eastern Carolina tobacco markets in Williamston. Washington and Robersonville last Tuesday. Few attended as specta tors, as in other years, many being too busy getting their output ready for marketing and others because of the gasoline and tire rationing, but at all the markets, even at more dis tant Rocky Mount. Wilson, and Greenville. Washington county had representation. Approximately 1200 acres in Wash ington county were planted this year j to tobacco and the estimated yield will be one million pounds. At an average selling price of 35cents a pound the cash returns will be about $350,000. When the Georgia and Border mar kets opened about two weeks ago a feeling of pessimism prevailed among the farmers. The crop was smaller, the quality not so good, only a mode rate price could be obtained, many thought. Suddenly the feeling changed. The crop was as large as in other years, in many instances larger; the quality was excellent, and almost from the beginning higher prices than formerly were bid and paid. Since then a feeling of opti mism has been steadily increasing. Sales on many border marekts have ranged above 40 cents. Adverse weather conditions have hindered Washington County farm- . ers in harvesting and cutting then tobacco Every delay and every cur ing mishap tends to despondency, to fear that the crop will fall short and the curing below par. Sometimes this fear may be justified but often it is not. When the tobacco has been harvested, cured, and marketed, ma- | ny of the farmers are likely to be agreeably surprised by the returns. A tobacco farmer in a border mar- i ket was heard to say recently; “I i brought in some good tobacco yes terday and got a top price for it. I also brought in some I considered trash and got a price for it that would have been above average last year. I have more in my bant that I have looked, upon as trash and I am going to bring it in. If I get as CLOSES GARAGE Dan R. Satterthwaite. who rlosed his garage here this week to enter war work at an airplane factory. much for it. as I got for the trash I sold today this will be the best year I have ever known for tobacco re turns." Grading the tobacco for market is very important. Poorly graded to bacco is likely to bring less than a fair average price, whereas some of it may grade high and bring a top price and the poorer quality yet bring good returns.
