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.

tne level prevailing December

creased 97 cents, to $7.10 a

Non-Violent Gandhi
Resigns As Leader
To Keep Principles
Bardoll, India, Dec. 30. W)
Mohandas K. Gandhi, long the
leader of India i Independence
movement, was relieved today
of his leadership of the A'l-
India Congress party at his own
request.
Gandhi decided to retain his
freedom to oppose all violence
and could not go along with the
majority of the party's execu
tive committee in a step to
ward cooperation In Britain
war effort.
Gandhi had written asking,
"please relieve me of the re
sponsibility laid upon me by the
Bombay resolution of Sept. 18,
1940."
The executive committee ef
the party voted at Bombay last
year to withdraw a - previous
conditional offer to cooperate
with Britain In the war effort
and Invited Gandhi who dis
agreed with the offer in the
first place to resume his party
leadership with power "to guide
it in any action that should be
taken."
Now the party and Gandhi
have differed again and the lit
tle leader in whom millions of
Indians put their hopes for in
dependence has stepped aside.
