PACE SIX HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON Christmas Buying For Overseas Folk Should Start Soon "Save strong string and box material and start to plan shop ping," Postmaster General S'rank C. Walker advises Ameri cans in announcing the rules for mailing of Christmas gifts for army and navy personnel over seas. Walker's statement was re ceived this week by Midland empire postmasters. This year the Christmas mail ing period for both army and navy overseas forces is the same September 15 to October 15. After October 15, no gift parcel may be mailed to a sol dier without the presentation of a written request from him. The great demands upon ship ping and the need for giving preference to arms, munitions, medicine and food is the prime .reason for the early mailing date. Moreover, gift parcels must travel great distances to reach army and navy personnel who are located at-remote points, and frequently the transfer of large numbers to new stations necessitates forwarding of the packages and additional time is required. "The response that our people made last year during the over seas mailing period demonstrat ed that they will cooperate in any measure designed for the welfare of our armed forces per sonnel," Walker said. "It is not easy to concentrate on Christmas gifts in the midst of warm wea ther here at home but our people recognized the need, , and be cause they want the men and women who are absent from their homes to know that they are not forgotten at Christmas, they took pains to assure prompt delivery of Christmas gifts. "I know that our people will observe the overseas mailing schedule once more this year but I do wish to stress this fact: More care must be taken in wrapping and packing parcels securely and addressing them clearly and correctly. "It is not a pleasant thing to visit a postal concentration cen ter and see the numbers of Christmas parcels which will never reach servicemen and servicewomen. Postofflce per sonnel have orders to do every thing they can to effect delivery of such gifts, because we know how important they are for the happiness of the armed forces. Too frequently, nothing can be done. "I am sorry that anyone ever mentioned that the size of a shoe box is the approximate limit for packages intended for gift mail ings overseas. . Unhappily many people became convinced that a shoe box is the best possible container. We must be mindful thitt these gifts must travel far, with shipping space crowded. If the gifts are Mo be protected in transit they must be packed in boxes made of metal, wood, solid fiberboard, or strong double faced corrugated fiberboard, re inforced with strong gummed paper tape or tied with strong twine. If both tape and strong twine are used, so much the bet ter. If the outer wrapper is crushed and this is likely to happen the loss of contents may be prevented if fiberboard boxes are wrapped in heavy paper. we were unaoie xo deliver many parcels which families and friends sent to men and women overseas last year be cause they were crushed in tran- sit and the gift and the outside wrapper became separated. We would have been able to make delivery if the address had been shown on the inside wrapper. We advise that everyone write the address of the sender and addressee inside the package, as well as outside. "Christmas gifts mean much to our people overseas. Because strong twine, heavy paper and boxes and fiberboard will prove of real help-in making delivery ot guts possible, l urge those at nome to oegin saving tnese ma terials now. As time eoes on. they are going to become even more scarce than they are now." Among the more important rules for Christmas mailings to the armed forces overseas are the following: The 'parcel must not exceed five pounds, and must not be more than 15 inches in length or 36 inches in length and girth combined. It should be marked "Christmas parcel" so that it may be given special LEGAL NOTICES NOTICE Notice fi hereby given that the partner Ship of Robert L. Walker and Stephen It. Walker, doing business as the Elk . Garage, has been dissolved, and that Robert L. Walker, having sold all right, title and interest in said Elk Garage to Churchill Jones, will no longer be responsible for any debts contracted by aid Elk Garage, effective thU 10th day of August, 1044. , ROBERT L.

Not more than one parcel may be mailed in any one week to the same member of the armed forces by or in be half of the same mailer. When combination packages are made up of such items as miscellaneous toilet articles, hard candies, soaps, etc., the contents should be tightly Cacked so that they will not ecome loosened in transit and damage the contents or the cover. Hard candies, nuts, caramels (including those cov ered with chocolate), cookies, fruit cake, and chocolate bars individually wrapped in wax ed paper should be enclosed in inner boxes of wood, metal, or cardboard. Perishable goods, such as fruits and vegetables that may spoil, are prohibited. Intoxi cants, inflammable materials such as matches or lighter fluids, poisons, and anything that may damage other mail also are prohibited. Gifts en closed in glass should be sub stantially packed to avoid breakage. Sharp instruments, such as razors and knives, must have their edges and points protected so that they cannot cut through the cover ' ings and injure postal person nel or damage other packages. Relatives and friends who know that the personnel in the armed services to whom they plan to send gifts are at far dis tant points should begin to mail their packages on the opening day September 15 of the mailing period. Last year late mailings, causing concentration of great numbers of packages in the final days of the mailing period, threatened to defeat the program. It is stressed that suc cess can be assured, with the lim ited personnel and facilities available, only if the public gives full cooperation through prompt mailings of the overseas gift parcels from the opening of the mailing period. Mexican Official Approves Treatment Given Laborers PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 16 (fP) Treatment of Mexican nationals by employers in the United States was approved here today by an official of that country. Particularly in Oregon and Washington, said Pedro Muro Asunsolo, representing the Mexi can foreign office, are employer- employe relationships good. Pay is higher than m other sections where his countrymen are work ing in harvest fields, and accom modations provided by the war food administration are better, he" added. Asunsolo yet has to inspect camps in Idaho, Utah, Colorado and Michigan. Negro Deserter Gives Self Up After 25 Years TACOMA, Aug. 16 m Say ing he wanted to ease his con science "and not die ashamed," a mart described by Police Capt. Larry Amundsen as a 56-year-old negro, deserter from the first World war, surrendered himself at police headquarters late yesterday. "Ah'm jes' tired of roamin'," uie man saia wnen ne wanted apologetically into police head quarters ana stood hat in hand before the captain's desk. He added that he had deserted from Fort Oglethorpe, Ga., in 1919 and had lived since in constant fear of arrest. He asked to be locked up. Later he was trans ferred to Fort Lewis for disposi tion of his case. Chessman Supported By Demo Committee PORTLAND, Aug. 16 m Merle R. Chessman, republican state senator from Clatsop county, had the support of that county's democratic central committee today in a new dem ocratic move to contest his right to serve on the state high way commission. Fred Thiel, county chairman, and Harold Haynes, state com mitteeman, declared they were "thoroughly out of sympathy", with a plan of Henry E. Aiken, state democratic chairman, to force the issue of Senator Chessman's dual role with the state's attorney general. A ruling by Attorney Gener al Neuner against Chessman also would "terminate the service of that good democratic sena tor, W. H. Strayer of Baker county," they pointed . out. Strayer is chairman of the state's mineral industry and ee. ology commission. Death Strikes American Bomber Mill riti- 7 jlcCigndBurning !
