The Mailman
Needs Help
A tot of It
I Public response to the post of
fice' department- ."Shop Now!
Mail in November" campaign is
good but needs to be better. Post
master General Frank C. Walker
has notified Henry Crawford, Sa
lem pastmaster.
r "Extraordinary wartime condi
tion far un." Walker aairl. "Un
less more people buy and mail this
month the postal service cannot
do its job of delivering all Christ
mas gifts on time.
"It is not pleasing to us to have
to ask the American people to mail
packages so far in advance of the
delivery date. We do so only be
cause it has to be done. The Job is
a tremendous one, but we are con
fident that it will be done because
we know from experience . that
given I sound reasons Americans
cooperate magnificently.
"Unprecedented shortages of
man power and transportation fa
cilities growing out of the" war
compel early mailing. The postal
service has given 50,000 experi
enced employees to the armed-forces
and 300,000 railroad workers
have gone to war. Equally serious
is the fact that rail and other
transport facilities are taxed to the
limit with the great burden of war
traffic! which all of us know must
take precedence.
. "In a great number of pur 43,000
post onices we man power situ
ation is critical. The 200,000 ex-'
tra workers whom we normally
recruited to handle the swollen
Christmas volume of mail were
able to work long hours of over
time and to do heavy work. This
cannot) be expected from the wo
men and high school boys and girls
to whom in large part we must
look this year to meet the situa
tion.' : j- ;
"The way in which everyone re
sponded in making it possible for
us to handle a volume of 70,000,
000 parcels for the armed forces
overseas leaves no doubt in my
mind that the November Christ
mas mailing will be equally suc
cessful. I ask for the help of the
- press, radio, business advertisers,
civic groups'and all Americans in
making it possible for the postal
service, to do its work.
' "We urge everyone to buy now,
mail in November and mark gifts
Do Not Open Until Christmas'. . '
Sgt) West Wins
Silver Star for", : v
Gallant Action
ITALY Tech. Set. Howard R.
West, son of Mr, and Wrs. Robert
West of 715 S. 12th Salem, Ore.,
has been awarded the silver star
for his leadership in taking a mil
itary objective under German ma
chine gun fire.
Sergeant West was cited for his
"courageous determination r and
gallant leadership? on May 11,
"When the withering fire of an
enemy machine gun made the fur
ther advance of his squad ex
tremely hazardous, Technical Ser-
geant West, a rifle platoon ser
geant, boldly led three of his men
in creeping forward and by
accurate rifle fire killed several
of the enemy . crew, enabling his
platoon to advance and take the
objective without loss of life.
Technical Sergeant West, then,
at the risk of his life, moved across
300 yards of exposed terrain to
establish contact with an adjoin
ing company f which had become
separated.
Sergeant West has been in the
army 29 months and overseas 19
months.
