Postmaster Urges
Early Mailing
of Xmas Packages
To deliver receipts of
Christmas day; about
mailing greetings

The post office will be open Sat
urday afternoons, December IL and
December 20, until 600 pm. as a
convenience to the public in mailing
Christmas parcels. As unusual con-
ditionS exist this year it is suggest
ed that extra early mailing is de-
Sirable especially to distant points,
TO avoid the last-minute congestion
and possible delay. AS usual all
Christmas parcels received Christ
mas will be delivered during the
day.
Christmas cards, in IInsealed en-
velopes and having no writing other
than the name of sender and Christ
mas greetings may he mailed for
LIZ cents postage, but these cannot
be forwarded to another address, or
returned to sender 1t is unfortunate
and of course disappointing to send
ers that we are obliged TO destroy
hundreds OF cards every year and in
very many cases, If these were mail
ed with three cents postage, which
would allow writing to be included,
such mail could he forwarded to a
forwarding address or returned to
sender. How many have sent cards
to former friends and never got an
answer" The above is the reason
in good many cases.
The liz cent rate does not apply
on cards having birth announce
ments or any detailed information
unless printed (not written.)

number the beautiful Prayer" from
Cavalleria Rusticana by Pietro Mas

-Four Christmas carols will be Of
fered, including the simple, yet beau
tiful Away in the Manager" known

Midnight Clear" In contrast to

numbers ever undertaken

paper follows:
Well, when you get this, all this
news that is so important now will
be old news-but I thought you
might like a report on how we feel
and react down here I know that
most of the people at home will be
exceedingly interested in every
thing we do now, so here is what has
happened today ~z~.:= #
was down at the u. S. 0. rec
reation hall this morning, when the
report came through "all hands re-
port to your bases Immediately
all leaves, liberties and furloughs
Immediately cancelled. Well, we did
MT know what had happened at the
time, but we figured the Japs had
lit in somewhere and that things
were really popping at last.
On reporting back to the island,
we were told to get out of our dress
blues and into our dungarees, must
er outside on the double and pre-
pare for an attack.
An officer told us what had hap
pened in Pearl Harbor, and to be
prepared to load planes with bombs
at any minute. He was very much
excited-We all were, and his words
expressed the feelings we all felt
'tI, for one, am very glad that this
has finally happened. We won't have
to conceal our feelings and there's
nothing I'd like better than to get
a crack at those Japs!"
You folks at home are probably
scared or worried about some of us,
but everyone of us is glad to he
here-our morale is 100 percent, and
we are all longing for our own per
sonal chance at them.
Sincerely,

KenneWick Comes
Within ) Minutes
of BlackOut
All clear order arrives
just before the zero
hour set -..t

Kennewick came within five min
tltes of getting taste Of war Mon
day night when a general black
out was ordered for the western
states. The order came early in the
evening, but officials were prompt
at preparing for the event. A spec
ial meeting of the city council was
called, but before the session was
over word had come that towns east
of the Cascades would not be requir-
ed to undergo the blackout.
Power company officials were no
titled to shut off the street lights
and the recinding order did not ar
rive until five minutes before eleven,
the zero hour for lights out. Recent
announcements are that blackouts
would not be required until further
notice, or until some emergency
arose.
Citizens are warned that when a
blackout order does come, that it
really means blackout. No fooling
will he permitted and drastic action
will he taken to those not comply
ing. They are also warned that
merely drawing the shades is not a
sufficient precaution. If lights are
on at all, complete shading must be
done so that no ray of light may leak
out. Special officers will be on the
lookout for violations. If necessary
to operate cars during a blackout,
no lights may he used.
While it is not thought likely that
blackouts will be required in COM
this far inland, neverethe-
less, authorities want everyone in
formed on what is necessary during
such an occasion. Strict enforce
1pent wilHbe- demanded in case OF
such an emergency.
