Post Office Hours

To the Editor:
Boxholders at the Greenbelt
Post Office have now been advised
that in order to conserve electric
ity for National Defense the Post
Office will be closed at 8 o'clock
in the evening.
believe we are all agreed that
any sacrifice which will actually
aid National Defense and the War
Effort is not too great. If the
electricity thus saved will benefit
materially the war effort, the mon
ey we would spend to rent post
Office boxes would probably do a
great deal more if used to pur-
chase Defense Stamps and Bonds.
Under these curtailcd hours a post
Office box has little or no value SO
let's go all the way and save it all
for War.

Blood Donors

To the Editor:
There may be some people in
Greenbelt who have not yet visited
the Red Cross Blood Donor Center
at 23rd and C Streets N. w. 1t
seems to me that a half-pint of
blood every two months to save the
lives of men who ale fighting fol
our safety is little enough we can
do.
The whole procedure for taking
blood is efficient and easy, leaving
no bad effects at all. Just phone
Republic 7400 and make an ap-
pointment. The whole thing takes
only 20 minutes and coffee and
cookies are served at the close of
the visit.
Please do not use my name in
printing this. Thousands of us are
helping in this little way with
our blood, but of course we don't
want to go around Dragging about
it.

DRIVERS MINUS OF
LICENSES ARE PUT
TO MUCH TROUBLE

Drivers, who did not get their
license before October l, are find
ing out now to what trouble they
are subjected in undergoing test
and an examination before a
license is issued to them.
Every day, since the regular is
suance of licenses stopped, the
state highway patrolman in Key
West has been busy making tests
of applicants.
There are only two ways IN
which drivers can obtain licenses
without undergoing a test. The
first is. if they were out of the
state from August 20 to October
4. or have a valid license from
some other state.
Captain Seneff, who is In
charge of the state highway
patrolmen in this district, has not
vet been able to come here TO
make arrests, as he has been de-
tanned in Miami to straighten out
the license situation in that city.
