It was emphasized that some mall Is not being delivered despite every effort of the army and the post offico department because letters are not being properly addressed. Before each soldier leaves the United States he Is .told what his army post office number will be and he knows what his regiment is. This Information Is sent by him to those with whom he expects to cor respond. The additional essential clement is that letters be sent In care of the postmaster handling the mall bound for that unit. Thus the correct form of address for soldiers serving in the Far East would be: , Private Albert Smith Company B 908th Infantry Regiment A.P.O. No. 53 Care of Postmaster, San Francisco. In the case of troops serving in Alaska, the same form should be used except that the letter should They Look Better...They Last Longer ( Than Any Other Suit I in Their Price Class k cbamf. d Spring Suits be sent, "Care of Postmaster, Seat tle." For troops serving In the Europ ean zone, mall should be similarly addressed, but "Care of Postmaster, New York." Letters should be written on only ono side of the paper so that if anything Is deleted by the censor it will not ruin what might be writ ten on the other side. Land Board Offers Marquam Lake The state land board Wednesday offered to sell Marquam Lake, near .Portland, to the state game com mission for use as a "resting area' for waterfowl. The board set a price of $35 an acre, ten dollars higher than the $25 offered by the game commis sion in a letter to Governor Sprague It was expected the commission would meet the land board price, however, since it recently took op tions on adjacent land and ex pressed a desire to purchase the property. It was understood the game com mission, if It votes Friday to buy Marquam Lake, will use It as a propagation ground for waterfowl and perhaps, In the future, as a AMERICA'S ONLY NATIONALLY RADIO ADVERTISED publio shooting reserve. . Marquam Lake is several hundred acres in area, but until a survey is completed, Land Board Chairman Lewis D. Griffith said, the exact size cannot be determined.
