JAMES VI. GEAGER SENDS
OUT NEW YEAR BOOKLET

James NJ. Yeager, formerly Unit

district of Pennsylvania. has sent to
a few of his friends with his New
Years compliments little booklet
containing his report to the Ord
nance Production Department of the
United States Army on his platform
work of more than five months for
the Liberty Loan and other govern
ment activities. Mr.. Yeager is one
of the most eloquent of public speak
ers of the country and his speaking
tour was highly appreciated by the
officials of the government. His
speechmaking had the effect in many
plants of speeding up the war work
and Mr.. Yeager naturally feels the

Speaking of the present building,
there is one large space, the Fed
eral court room, which takes up
nearly Il complete floor and which
is used only six weeks in year. With
our plant right in the new station we
could take care of Harrisburg cas-
lily enough with our twenty-five
branch stations. In these speedy
days mail work cannot be done on
the trains; it is transacted at termi-
nails. AS for general delivery room
this would be no great puzzle; Il
special room might be rented some
where in the heart of the town, but
this, of course, is a detail"
Postmaster Sites concluded, there
fore, that there is no imm ediate ne.
cessity for enlarging the present Of
flee, but sincerely hopes that the
Pennsy folk will go through with
their tentative plans to erect a great
union station where the local post
office can permanently settle in the
modern standardized conditions con-
ditions being introduced to other
comm onwealths.
