THOUSANDS OF GEESE ALREADY AT ’M U S K E E T Guides and Hotelmen Make Ready for Biggest Season Since War Be^an. Hyde County hunting guides and •hotelmen are making ready for what they expect to be the biggest hunting season in this section since the war began.

Every citizen who is playing Santa Claus for loved ones and friends in other toVns is urged to get that present in the mails by that date to assure proper de livery. The reasoin, say postal officials, is that Americans are expected to mail domestically 25 per cent more gdHs than a year —and at a time when the Post Office has fewer employes and less well trained holiday help than ever before. In addi tion, the fact that more people have moved to different ad dresses to do war work is ex pected to mean that the average distance traveled by each gift will be greater than before the war.
