Early Christmas
Mailings Sought
Wartime Demands to Tax
the Postal Transportation
Systems.

The bulk of Christmas mail must
be in the post offices by December
/ this year if deliveries on time are
to be assured, according to Smith w.
Purdum, Second Assistant Postmaster
General. Mr.. Purdum is responsible
to Postmaster General Frank G.
Walker for smooth and efficient air
and railway mail service.
Unprecedented wartime demands
on the postal and transportation sys-
TENS, plus a prospective record vol
ume of Christmas mailings, were
cited by Mr.. Purdum as necessitating
earlier mailings than ever before.
ut is physically impossible for the
railroads and air lines, burdened with
vitality important war materials, to
handle Christmas mailings as rap
idly as in normal times" Mr.. Pur-
dunn said. eff the bulk of parcels
and greeting cards are held back
until the usual time-the period of
about December Is to 23-they SIM
ply cannot be distributed in time, and
thousands of gifts will reach their
destinations after Christmas.
Car Shortage Faced.
In 1941, about 21,950 mail cars
were required between December IL
and "a to deliver Christmas mails
enough cars to make train 270 miles
long. This year, the extra cars
needed to move holiday mails are
largely being used by the armed
services, and a severe shortage is in
prospect.
The postal service usually bor-
rows about $500 trucks from the

''B" And &C" Forms
Are Not Difficult

Motorists who have only an "a"
mileage rationing book but desire
one in the "B" or &C" class have only
to study and fill out the necessary
form in order to make application,
states T. c.. Driscoll, Minnesota OPA
director. The job of making out the
forms is not difficult, he said, and
most of the questions are some that
only the applicant himself can answer.
These forms are really a certifica-
ton of the individuals driving-the
use to which he puts his car, the
distance he drives in a month, the
number of persons who ride with
him, the mileage from his home to
his job, the other transportation facil-
tiles available to him and why they
can't serve him adequately.
The applicant will also set down
his occupation, the name and address
of his employer, whether he puts
gasoline into the car from his own
tank, and other questions, answers to
which are needed by the rationing
boards for the proper handling of
supplementary gasoline coupon books.
This form, Mr.. Driscoll said, is
for use by individual drivers-those
who registered November IL and Is
for "a" automobile gasoline books or
ID" motorcycle gas books. "B" books
are designed to provide additional
gasoline to persons who need their
cars in their work, business, study or
other work that contributes to the
war effort or to public welfare.
The simplest approach, Mr.. Dris-
coll said, is to read each question
carefully and figure out the answers
accordingly. Every automobilist, for
instance, will have a good idea of
how many miles he drove during the
last 80 days, and he should be able
to figure out the number of miles
he needs the car each month in the
performance of his occupation.

Recaps For Worn
Tires Advised By
Rationing Board
Claimed Better Than New
Tires; Made From Re-
claimed Rubber.

The Pine county rationing board
this week advises farmers having
smooth tires to take immediate steps
to have them retreaded in order to
help conserve the passenger car tire
supply. A smooth tire which is re-
treaded is better tire than the new
tire which the farmer will be elig-
ible for which is made of reclaimed
rubber.
All applicants who did not have
their 1913 registration cards with
them when they registered their pas
senger cars for gasoline rationing,
are again reminded that they should,
upon receipt of same, send or bring
them to the rationing board office.
Unless the card is furnished, no fur
Their rations will be allowed.
Temporary Ration Gard.
Upon receipt of the returns of the
certificate of war necessity, all COM
mercial vehicle operators must fill

able at the local ration office, filling

requiring gasoline for the operation
of a commercial motor vehicle who
has made application for certi-
ficate of war necessity but who has
not received any action may apply
between November Is, 1912, and De-
cember 81, 1912, for a temporary
transport ration. If the owner has
failed to receive an application form
through the mail, he should immedi-
ately obtain it from the local ODT
3O2 Metropolitan Life Building, Min
neapolis, Minnesota.
Between December l, 1912, and
January 81, 1913, the tires on every
passenger car must be inspected by
an authorized OPA inspector. The
authorized inspectors will be an
nounced later. All holders of basic
"a" or ID" mileage book, must have
their tires inspected every four
months thereafter All holders of q
"B" or &C" or supplemental Cd
mileage book must have their tires
inspected every two months there
after.

BY GEORG STRANDvOLD

Since American forces almost three
weeks ago invaded French Northwest
and North Africa, the general pic
ture of the war has changed con-
siderably, and is likely to undergo
many more changes which may not
particularly delight Herr Adolf Hitler
First of all, new and very
serious threat is being thrust
against him from the southern
shores Of the Mediterranean.
For in Africa the Americans and
British are jointly disinfecting Tuni-
STA and Libya; in Tunisia, the Nazis
now hold only Bizerte and Tunis-
all the rest of that French protec-
torate is in the hands of the United
Nations, and it is of interest here to
recall the fact that even the French
now fight alongside the Americans
and the British
At the same time the British are
still pursuing the Nazi and Fascist
troops who, under Field Marshal
Rommel, tried to conquer Egypt; they
are now hundreds of miles west of
the Egyptian frontier and are flee
ing-from the ashes into the fire, for
at the other edge of the Libyan desert
more British and good many Amer
leans are waiting for the fleeing foe.
What 1t Means.
1t seems but question of relative
ly short time until the United Ma
tons forces have completed the pro-
cess of fumigating Africa, and when
that day comes, the so-called Second
Front may be about to open on the
European continent.
Just now the lines are tightly
drawn around Hitler's Germany;
it is being menaced from the
south; it is being threatened from
the east by Russians who SEEM
ingly cannot be defeated; it is
kept insecure from the west by
the British and American bomb
ers, and in the north the wrath
of Norwegians and Danes whose

lands have been occupied by Hit
Ter, is simply awaiting the signal
for a final explosion.

lanuS nave deem occupied Dy Hit
Ter, is simply awaiting the signal
for a final explosion.
In other words, the Nazists are
almost completely surrounded by
nations they themselves have made
their enemies, and the worst of it is
from Berlin standpoint-that
these enemies are becoming stronger
all the time while the Nazis show
unmistakable signs of increasing
weakness.
No Encouragement.
1t is doubtful whether Hitler at
this late day expects anything from
his Italian partner, Mussolini, for
he has become the most strikingly
inept comic-opera general of the
whole war. At least, Germany can
not depend on any effective support
from the Italian partner.
Nor is there any encouragement
in looking at the Japanese axis part
ners, for they are going from bad to
worse all the time.
In the waters around Guadal-
canal American forces have adj
ministered sound threshing to
the enemy, who has l0st-at this
writing-29 war vessels in one
battle, and unknown thousands
of men.
When one considers that New
Guinea, too, has become a scene of
what soon promises to be complete
Japanese defeat, one gathers that the
enemy in the near future may have
to abandon all plans of invading
Australia, all hope of gaining foot
hold in the Solomon Islands. The
fact that it has become practically
impossible for the japanese to land
additional troops where they are
especially needed, tells its own story.
And have you noticed that for
many, many weeks there has been
not one single bulletin about any
japanese victory in China?
It all means that the Japanese are
losing ground and strength.
