The reason so few of US yokeIs
know about this great work is
because the gals are paying the
freight" through proceeds from
card parties. And all the pro-
ceeds are used in buying ar
ticIes for the boys away from
home.
The list Of service men is
growing steadily, but the Legion
cites don't seem to mind about
how the demands will be met.
They're just working bit hard
er to supply all the boys, so
when one of the Gals ask you to
support the program don't hedge
and hesitate. This isn't sales
manship problem. It's a privilege
to kick in.
And so I'm taking off my hat
to the Package Angels. They're
doing a swell job and want
the parents of the boys in camp
to know that the lads have not
been forgotten by the folks here
at home. And also want the
Gals to know that the parents
here are grateful.

Norton Would Relieve
Police Of Waiting In
COurfrOOms On Cases

Chairman Of the Boston
School Committee, Clement A,
Norton, candidate for the DEM
ocratic nomination for District
Attorney, in an address this
week said:
One of the first things that
I will take up, after taking Of
nee as District Attorney will be
the matter of studying ways
and means to relieve the pres
emf intolerable situation re-
garding police officers who are
summoned into court.
Most of these policemen are
out on the streets all night and
then are asked to come to
court, sometimes for weeks at
a time, waiting for a case to
be called and to testify.
One can walk into the Penn
berton Square Court House
anytime and find tired police
men, who are much in need of
sleep, hanging around the COR
ridorS and perhaps trying to
catch a wink of sleep on a
bench. These men, invariably,
have been out on their job all
night and, it is physically i'm
possible to ask a man to be up
all night and day at the same
time. Man, by his very nature,
must obtain a certain number
of hours of sleep, otherwise he
breaks up physically and men
tally. Other counties arrange it
so that a policeman does not
have to hang around for days
at a time and, if this is so, it
does seem, that Suffolk, the
largest county in the State,
can do the same. Policemen are
officers of the court. They are
entitled to consideration. Glen
Norton will give it to them.
Isn't 16 years in Office long
enough for any off1ceholder?

W-Leffer" Sheets
Now Available At
Local Post Offices

In order to assure the great
est use Of the new Postal Serv-
ice Facility known as the az
Mail Service" all postoffice
sub-stations have now been
provided with quantities OF v
Letter Sheets, which may be
secured without cost.
This new V-Mail Service
provides the quickest and
safest means of transmitting
correspondence to those sefv-
ing in the armed forces of
America stationed outside the
continental United States.
Through a special Micro-FiIm
Process, V-Letters are reduced
on film to a fraction of their
original size. More than 10000
V-LetterS can thus be dis
patched in a single mail sack
weighing but as pounds. These
letters are given preferred
service over all other classes of
mail matter. In most instances,
the transmission and delivery
of such mail is but a fraction
of time required for ordinary
correspondence.
All original V-Letters are
held by military authorities
pending the receipt of filmed
copies at destination. In The
event, for any reason, they fail
to arrive at destination, dupli-
cate film copies are immedi-
ately made and dispatched.
This assures safety in transit.
Because of the comparatively
light weight of filmed V-Let-
ters they may be accorded the
most expeditions and preferred
dispatch and transportation
possible to destination.
V-LetterS may be written in
dark pencil, ink or typewriter
and must have postage affixed,
(either Sc or &c for air maiD l..
No enclosures are permitted
and mail must be addressed
solely to men and women in
the armed forces overseas.

NEW BUILDING ON
 CHURCH PROPERTY
Plans Already Made to Put Old Immaculate COnCep-

Plans for erection of a large new building on the old Immaculate Conception church property on East Main street have been completed but have been filed away for the duration of the war, 1t was learned today. It had b. cn planned to start construction this year or early next year, but lack oi steel and other materials has made this impossible.
 The property. is now owned by the w. T. Grant O., which eventu- ally will build large new building on the property to house its local department .tore. The store is at present located on Bank street.
 The McElligott Fuel Corp. now occupies the propert., operating a gasoline station and parking lot. It is believed that its lease twill be extended until the Grant Co is able to begin construction.
 The new Grant building will cost several hundred thousand dollars and will be one of the largest in the city. The plans, 1t is said, call fo- huge amount of floor space.
 The property was the site of the Immaculate Conception church until construction of new church on the north side of the Green Is years ago. The church continued owner ship, leasing 1t to the McElligott Corp, until last year, when it sold it to the w. T. Grant Go.

LARGE QUOTAS OF
 INDUCTEES NEAR
Greatest Number Will Be Called, Since Passage
 of Service Act

Preparations for calling up the largest local quotas of inductees since passage of the Selective Serv- ice Act are now being completed by the four local Selective Service boards. Within little more than four weeks, this month and next, the two largest contingents ever to leave the city for the Army will be made ready for the start of military training.
 A number of 1-B men, previously deferred because of physical ail- mentS, will be included in the Aug ust and September groups. Also in- cluded will be men formerly placed in 3-A because of dependency claims.
 The size of the quotas will greatly reduce the number of men available for service at each of the local boards. Steps toward reconsideration of many men previously deferred is already underway.
 Within the past week, this city has sent two contingents to Fort Deyens. The one which left last Monday was far above the average i1 number.
 Under the new induction system. men sent to Hartford for physical examinations are sworn into the Army immediately if they are passed. Those who wish are then given two week furloughS to wind up their per- sonal affairs. At the end of the two weeks they begin their military JYaining.
