COMPLAINT ON
DEPREDATIONS

Angered by the wapton de-
predations on his small orchard.
George M. Carey of 1881 South
street has offered a $40 reward
for evidence that will convict
those responsible.
n l-t+p~ m TNe tizee NJ.
Gray explained the situation as
follows:
"A little over three years ago
we purchased a home and some
vacanat lots, the lots an eyesore
Jungle. We cleaned up the
Jungle, handicapped the grounds
and made a beautiful place of it.
Among the paintings were some
citrus fruit trees. Last year
when we came back there were
a few oranges and grapefruit.
You can imagine how carefully
we watched them. Before they
were ripe some boys came in and
stole them.
This year there was more
fruit and some one has COM
menced to steal it. The fruit is
not fit to eat now and we would
like to have it ripen on the trees
so we can tell what it is like.

penalty for picking fruit with
out permission. For evidence

WAR CONDITIONS
CROWD CALLS ON
LONG DISTANCE
MANAGER OF TELEPHONE
COMPANY ASKS CIVILIANS
TO REFRAIN FROM USE AS
MUCH AS POSSIBLE

Civilians have been requested
to cooperate with the nations
war effort by refraining as far as
possible from using long distance
facilities on Christmas Day and
New Years Day in order that
long distance telephone Ines
can be kept open for government
use IN this emergency.
The request came from How
ard overlin. manager of South
en Bell Telephone and Tele-
graph Company, who said that
war preparations might be Sc
riously hampered if long distance
circuits become so crowded with
civilian holiday greeting mes
sages as to delay completion OF
calls necessary TO the war pro-
gram
He asked all persons con-
templating exchanging greetings
by long distance telephone to
place their calls some time other
than Christmas Day and New
Years Day as a contribution
toward Americas preparations.
In making his appeal, Mr.,
Overlin sa ID, Long distance IA
eilities have been crowded with
calls ever since the United
States was attacked on Deem
Der Z.
Government long distance
telephone requirements, both
military and civil, have increas-
ed sharply. Industrial plants,
stepping up the tempo of pro-
duction, have started using long
distance in an ever-increasing
volume.
In addition, news services OF
essential and semi-esSential ma
ture have found it necessary to
increase Their use of long dist
ance. Long distance lines also
are used to link the stations OF
the radio networks. On top OF
