The Palmyra Courier-Journal Dear Editor: I've changed my address again and •so I'll have to drop .you a line to get the paper on the right road. - So many of the other boys have told you, how much the paper means to us who ire away in“ the Army, that I can't add much to what they have already said. One of thc most . important things it does is to keep us ; all posted on our friends change of 1' address. All we have to do is watch - the paper and soone.' or later we •catch the change. For those who wish to know, I'm L—in—Armored—School—here;— studying the phase of the armament- o f our .lieavy bombers. Here, as in bomb- sight maintenance, .we are restricfed by oath as to what we say about our work. I wish to thank you for sending me the paper. Sincerely, Pvt. Don Lusk. Fort Bragg, N. C. November 4. 1942 : Dear Sir: Just a few words to let you know that I am receiving your paper every week and like to thank all of you for sending it. I ccrtainly appreciate read ing it and I read every word in it. Most of all I like to read all the letters from our boys in the service. They all seem to like to' work for our Uncle Sam. I would also like to thank St. Anne's parish for sending me the swell package. They certainly sent ' it out ahead of time, for it was a Christmas package. I hope all the boys in the service jet a package like • -the one I got. Well, friends, I am still here at Fort Bragg, In thc replacement center, I ■where I was only supposed, to get my , six weeks - training, but I only got two or three days of training and • they put me in thc fnotor school for six weeks as a mechanic, and I have been in the motor shop ever since. I tried to get transferred a half dozen times, but they only tell me that they j. .Jited me here at the Replacement Cen ter. I got a feeling that they are go- 1. irig to keep me here quite some time yet Here at the Replacement Center they only work five days a week and eight hours a day. They gave me a pass to go anywhere out of the camp r_ now wherever ;I .please after working ~hours.”I don't work Saturday or Sun day unless I work on someone’s car out of the camp and I get paid extra, for that A very few people here get a pass like I get They certainly treat me good here; just like old friends, but not quite as good. Well, I’m sending the bfjst of luck to all the people in my home town. —Thanks again-for the Palmyra -paper. Keep ’em flying, P.F.C. Walter J. Pulcini. Lowry Field, Denver, Colo. Gentlemen: I’m rather late in sa expression of appreciation, but I assure you that it s heartfelt. The paper really means a lot to me, and I'm sur*? it means much has a Republican election.

Taber Grateful For Support At Election The following, letter of thanks was received at this oifice early this week: \I wish to thank the people of the 36th Congressional^ District for their endorsement of my record in Con gress. So that it may be dear how thor oughly that record was endorsed, it appears that in the tables of returns that are coming in, the following ta ble indicating the percentage of the total vote that I received in 1940 and the percentage that I received in 1942: County 1942 1940 Cayuga 54.7% 52.5% Ontario r ... 66.5 60. Seneca 57.5 55. Wayne 70. \ 60.7 Yates 69.5 61. Total . . 63% 56% The only reason that my majority was not bigger was that it was a light vote this year.

Post Office Asks Early Christmas Mailing The Post Office Department now is starting thc most gigantic task in its history—thc movement of a deluge of Christmas parcels, cards and let ters while maintaining the regular flow of millions of\,pleces of mall daily to and from our armed forces all over thc world. Indications arc that the volume of Christmas mail will be thg, largest on record. Already in September, latest month for which figures are. available, retail sales had reached a level sccond only to the record -month of Decem ber, 1941, according to the Depart ment of Commerce. And sales are rising. Such heavy purchases al- ways‘~presage- heavy mailings. If thousands of our soldiers, sailors, marines and civilian friends arc not to be disappointed at Christmas time, thc public must cooperate by mailing earlier than ever before and by ad- dressing letters and parcels properly. The best efforts of the Post Office De partment alone cannot be enough, in view of wartime difficulties faced' by the postal system. The public must assist. About 25,000 experienced postal workers already‘ have been taken by the war services. Arrangements are under way to add thousands of tem porary personnel to postal staffs, but this man power is hard to find and is inexperienced. Facilities of railroads and air lines are heavily taxed by .movements-of Jiugt-.quantities of war materials and personnel. Extra- trucks are almost impossible to obtain. Win ter weather, hampering transporta tion, is beginning. The free-mailing privilege granted to members of the armed forces has raised their mailings some 30 per cent, It Is estimated. Expansion of those forces also is adding rapidly to tfic 'postal burderL, The deadline already Is past for mailing gifts to Army and Navy per sonnel overseas with-assurance- that-date; the parcels will arrive by Christmas. The New York post office reports that In late October, 350,000 such parcels were 'handled daily in. that office alone.

Lewis Prosser: In order to retain their right to use mileage ration books already- issued- them, passenger car and orcvclc ;o\vners in Wayijo County must file with-^tlreir local War Price and Rationing Board the new applicati6n form and tiro inspection record, Mr. VanOstrand, Chairman of the Wayne County War Price and Rationing Board, declared today. The forms, which are being used in other sections of tho country as an application for a basic. .1'A ” ra tion, are .now available at nearby service stations; newspaper offices and other conveniently located places. Mr. VanOstrand urged autoists and motorcyclists to pick up copids at once and register them at their local high school' Novem ber 17, 18, 19. Tho-hours will be from 4:00 to 0:30 p. m. Tuesday and Thursday and from 9:00 to 1-2:00 a. m. Wednesday. “Local car and motorcycle own ers will continue to use the coupon books already in their possession,” the rationing board chairman said, “but they need to. turn in tho new forms a'nvhow-. in order to give U3 ember 22 to explain\ why ho hasn’t dono so, and ho may have his' ra tion book revoked. \The form is simple. Most of tho information can be obtained from thc vqhicle registration- card. The most important information need ed to fill out the application,thow- :xer, is the list of serial numbers on every tive which you or any relative living in youi< houso, own for that vehicle.” The serial numbers, Mr. V a n ' Ostrand, said, arc the indented numbers on the tire walls. They arc not to bo -confused with' any raised numbers appearing On the tires. In case thc serial numbers have beer.\ obliterated, only tho brand namo^of the tire need be listed. Tlio rationing board chairmnn urged car owners with more than five tires fon each vehicle to dis pose of these excess tire<< at once, since tho rationing board will 'de mand an explanation from any car ' owner who lists more than five tires. Excess tiros can bo sold to tho government through tho local office of tho Railway Express Agency, Operators - ot' trucks, Thiscr and taxis must have” their Certificates of War .Necessity before applying to the local W a r Price and Ration ing Board f(& their mileage ra tions, Mr. VanOstrand, Chairman of thc Board, declared today. “The Cortificatos of W a r Neces sity, issued by thc Office of De fense Transportation,\ form thc basis for our issuance of transport rations to those commercial vehi cles,” said Mr. VanOstrand. “When Emily Fislier of Pearsall's Style ¡applicants ci>me to thc board they Shop Team, paced all .10 bowlers ¡must bring with them these cer- witli a high three-game total of tificntos, together with properly a rcoord of thc tire serial numbers and to get for themselves a tiro inspection record to be used for the periodic tire inspections. “Those who fail to turn in ono of the now forms will bo subject to a call from the board after Nov- Emily Fisher Paces Lady Bowlers GIRL SCOUT NEWS 510; Dorothy Wilson hit the high game for thc evening rof 182, fol lowed by E.
