This is to inform you that some of the sweaters, helmets, and oth- oWinloa rf nlnthinfr thnt vniir production corps knitted so beau- tifully, weLe received from Nat - . " ..... ional Headquarters for distribu tion at this post. The soldiers were delighted to receive these gifts, and many of them have asked me to express their sincere appreciation. Please tell the ladies who spent so many hours in making the garments that their fine gifts are now being worn at a post where the climate makes- them especially acceptable. The men do wonder, though, how such nicely fitting clothing can come from a few needles and some yarn. Please do not consider this to be a "foVm'letter. The particular situation at this' post would not permit typing a message to each chapter, and yet we did want you to know that your grand work has been appreciated very much. For the servicemen to whom you have rendered such fine ser vice thanks. Sincerely yours Walter H. Smith Field Director APO 679 Postmaster, New York.

HELP US KEEP SOLDD2RS PAPERS GOING REGULARLY From time to time we re ceive reports from boys in service and especially those who are overseas complaining that they have not received the Times in several weeks. Also we receive letters from their parents stating Chat their sons write they are not receiving the paper regularly. From time to time, if you parents who have sons over seas who are supposed to be getting the paper, will write us their correct address we will make a check and see If we have it right. It Is nearly Impossible to keep them cor rect without some help. For example: This morning we received a notice from a Camp In Florida that one of the boys getting the Times has moved and his new ad dress is APO number 28 C0 -Post Mfesttr New-York: This address isnH -sufficient. The boy evidently is being ship ped out and his new address is not known until he reaches his destination. All that is known is, he has gone to New York. If we mail his paper to the address given, in about three or four weeks, lt will be returned by the post mas ter in New York for a more coorrect address. If your son or brother has moved to an other camp or has gone over seas, please let us know his new address, and by all means give us his old address as well. We have hundred of papers going to boys in ser vice and when we go to chan ge tbeir address without know ing his old address it takes so much time that frequently we are a week or so late in getting the change made. We are anxious that the boys get the papers as early as possible. Please help i:-. Warsaw Board Calls 34 White Men for Army Induction April 6th.

For Tennessee, for example, ceilings from $8.50 to $9 for 24 quart crates were reported as be ing ready for OPA announcement whereas a $7.20 ceiling had been mentioned earlier. OPA expects to fix different maximum price levels for the various states in proportion to differentials previ ously observed. Leaf Marketing Quotas Extended Washington . Congress quickly passed and sent to the President for aproval last Friday a bill to extend marketing quotas for. bur ley and flue-cured tobacco for two years in addition to the present 1944-45 crop. The action came in face of a re cent plea to the agriculture de partment by the National Assoc abolish the quota system on tobac co, only remaining crop so restri iation of Tobacco Distributors to cted during the war.
