A wartime atmosphere perme ated the annual banquet for Mail Tribune carriers In the Hotel Holland last night as guest speakers dwelled on var ious phases of the national de fense effort. Forty city, motor and outside carriers attended. George T. Frey, manager of the Medford office of the U. S. National Bank of Portland, em phasized the importance of buy ing national defense savings stamps and bonds in order to provide the money to purchase the materials necessary to carry on the war. He pointed out that in buying defense savings bonds purchasers were not giving or donating money but were in fact making an investment which at maturity time would bring back not only the prlnci pal but also a sizable interest Duty For All In a crisis such as now faces the nation, it is the patriotic duty of all business men, no matter how small their enter prise, to give part of their time to the government in helping to bring the crisis to an end, Mr. Frey declared. He compliment ed the Mail Tribune carriers for doing their part as independent merchants in selling defense savings stamps for the govern ment as they conducted their daily business. "By helping in this crisis, you are carrying on American tra ditions and helping to preserve the American way of life," Mr. Frey said. It was announced by Gerald T. Latham, circulation manager of the Mail Tribune, who pre sided, that the carriers in the first two weeks of the campaign sold $3,410.40 In defense sav ings stamps and bonds. Frank J. Van Dyke, coordin ator of the civilian coordinating board for the proposed army cantonment, told the carriers how they would be affected by the camp should it be con structed. Caution Urged Mr. Van Dyke warned about an increase in traffic accidents because of increased traffic should the cantonment be estab lished and he implored the car riers to become even more cau tious than they are now In help ing to avert mishaps. He point ed out, also, that the carriers would have additional business problems because of a large in flux of construction workers and a rapid turnover in resi dents and because of the pres ence of a large number of sold iers if - and when the canton ment is built. Frank Hull, coordinator of the Jackson County Council of Defense, emphasized the ser iousness of the problems of home defense and urged the carriers to unite in an effort to help in civilian defense as an organized group. Mr. Hull de scribed the various phases of home defense and told of the experiences England has had. He painted a vivid picture of the destruction that can be wrought by incendiary bombs and explained the techniques that have been developed to suppress them. Mr. Hull urged the public to be constantly ready for any emergency. Just 30 minutes' preparation, he asserted, would have saved many lives in the sudden Japanese attack on Ha waii. George Bryant, carrier on route 7, entertained with solos on his electric steel guitar. After the banquet the carriers were guests of the George A. Hunt Theaters, Inc., at the Ri alto theater.
