Forces in Austria, APO 777, co Postmaster, New York, N. Y. General Keyes is the present high commissioner and will pro bably remain for several years. If he should be sent to a differ ent command, a man of his samp high calibre will replace him. So the above address is always good. I know that those of you who have received pictures and ad dresses of certain children or families would like to mail box es to them directly. I am sorry to have to tell you that boxes mailed directly to those address es stand little chance of arriving without first having been looted of the best articles. Things tak en out are usually sold to the black market. Only packages mailed through the United Stat es mail service, handled all the way here only by American post offices, are sure to arrive safely and unopened. Fortunately, we have been able to arrange it so that your pack ages can reach those for whom they are intended, unopened. If you will write clearly in one cor ner, in a way that cannot be rubbed off in such long and rough shipment, the name and address of the person or the in stitution for which it is intend ed, your box will be taken by a member of this committee di rectly to that person or institu tion. Those of you who have asked for certain numbers of individu als of various ages and their ad dresses and pictures, and have not yet received them, will per haps forgive me when I tell you that for the last month I have worked as hard as I can every day, all day long, and late into the night, trying to get the in formation you ask and trying not to let you wait for acknow ledgment of your letters and packages but it is more than one person can handle. I am about at the point of collapse. This tremendous response has been the most surprising and heart warming experience of my life. I hope that your interest in the orphans and the destitute over here will continue and I am sure it will when you know that such women as I have told you about will take care of the packages you sent. If you write, please address your letters to Mrs. H. B. Hurless, co Colonel Hurless, Provost Marshal Section, HQ. USFA, APO 777, New York, N. Y. She will see that someone on her committee answers your letter at once. Things like letters or cards can safely be sent di rectly to the Austrians you are interested in. If there are any of you who have sent boxes and never re ceived an acknowledgment, it is because a few b,pxes have been received with the return address so badly rubbed off or torn in the mails that it was not possi ble to.make them out. I would like to thank every one of you personally and tell you how much it means over here for these people to get the things you are sending. I am sorry to have to do It with a form letter. Gratefully, AMY HILBORN MILLER. HERE FROM COSTA RICA Percy Bleakman and family ar rived here the first of the week from. Costa Rica for a visit with relatives and friends.

Dear Customer we Is this Christmas shopping wearing you down? Do you have that gift for Aunt Sue or Brother Bill? Have you looked for these gifts at Owens Hardware? If it's tools that are needed we have a good selection. Housewares-we are still pretty well supplied. Toys-they're about gone. Why not shoot the works and clean up the gifts for the whole family by buying a refrigerator or an Arvin radio-or a Zenith washer? They'll appreciate it, too.
