When the Postoffice Depart
ment arranged that penny stamp
could be put on a magazine, and
that it would then be taken over
seas, or TO camps and cantonments
for soldiers, it did not mean that
the postoffice was to be used as a
dumping place for old periodicals.
Soldiers and sailors need and
want current reading matter. For
instance, you are about through
with your July magazines now, 50
put the stamp on and take them to
the postoffice. But don't take July
of last year and don't take any
that are not fresh and clean. Take
the best magazines, those of recent
date and general interest, but do
not take old ones, or those of only
local interest.
If you have soldier friends, now
and then mail them a good maya
zine, and they will be very pleased
to receive it, A good magazine is
read by the recipient and then
passed around until there S nothing
left.
