Recommendations Regarding Pur-
chase of Christmas Presents by
Council of National Defense.

In accordance with the suggestion
made by the Council OF National De
Tense and by them handed to the
State Councils, the Carroll county
Council passes ON to its constituents
the following requests as received
from Washington
First That ~ far a. possible
merchants generally do not hire any
extra help for the Christmas holidays
the reason being, that every possible
hour OF labor IL needed Ia essential
or war industries
Second That the public begin the
purchase OF Christmas presents in
October and scatter them through the
three months instead OF making a
grand rush during the last two we@@s,
a. heretofore
Third. That all purchasers, as far
a. they can, carry their packages
home with them. rather than have
them sent.
Fourth. That all gifts, except in
the case OF small children, be confined
to strictly useful and practical ar
ticles.'
a While the first suggestion may
not apply very strongly to an agri-
cultural community like this, having
lin 10 no war industries, the second
third and fourth ought to- b. followed
The great number of war jobs
thrust on willing hands these days
together with the scarcity OF labor
make 1T necessary to conserve time
and strength and energy to the last
degree. This can De done to great
extent by avoiding the strain and
stress OF the Christmas rush by be-
ginning to make your purchases ir
