May Cut Value
OF Gas Coupons

Washington = Gasoline ration
ing in the 81 states not now under
ration control will be postponed
from November % to December
l, an OPA spokesman said Tues
day, while Secretary of the In
terror Ickes warned that a cut in
the four-gallon value of ration
coupons in the East may be nee
essary.
The postponement of rationing
in the West and Midwest is nee
essary becausefof bitches in the
distribution Of coupon books and
forms over the country, OPA said.
Ickes issued an extraordinary ap-
peal to eastern motorists, stating
that unless civilian consumption
is cut voluntarily to the irreduci-
BILE minimum, he could 'see no
way in which we can supply e.
nough gasoline to maintain the
present value of coupons"
Oil requirements of the Ameri-
can expeditionary force in North
Africa will be enormous" Ickes
said in his capacity as petroleum
co-ordinator for war, and the
country's ability to keep supplies
flowing to that war front and to
Great Britain is largely depend
ant upon cutting down our con-
sumption here"

Post Office Is
Urging Early
Christmas Mail
Armed Forces Increasing
Mail; Early Mailing Is
Necessary This Year

Mrs. Elizabeth D. Hensley, act
ing postmaster, pointed out today
that the Post Office Department
now is starting the most gigantic
task in its history-the movement
of a deluge of Christmas parcels
cards and letters while maintain
ing the regular flow of millions OF
pieces of mail daily to and from
our armed forces all over the
world.
Indications are that the volume
of Christmas mail well be the
largest on record. Already in Sep
TENDER, latest month for which
figures are available, retail sales
had reached a level second only
to the record month of December,
1941, according to the Department
of commerce. And sales are rls-
ing. Such heavy purchases always
presage heavy mailings.
If thousands of our soldiers,
sailors, marines and civi1ia n
friends are not to be disappointed
at Christmas time, the public
must cooperate by mailing earlier
than ever before and by address
ing letters and parcels properly.
The best efforts of the Post Office
Department alone cannot be e.
nough, in view of wartime diff
cu1ties faced by the postal system.
The public must assist.
The free-mailing privilege grant
ed to member of the armed forces
has raised their mailings some 81
per cent. it is estimated. Expan-
sion of those forces also is adding
rapidly to the postal burden.
The deadline already is past for
mailing gifts to Army and Navy
personnel overseas with assurance
that the parcels will arrive by
Christmas. The New York post
office reports that in late October,
$4,000 such parcels were handled
daily in that office alone.
The Post Office Department is
making strenuous efforts to avoid
such a terrific jam as if faced in
1918 under similar conditions,

Outdoor Yule
Lights Banned

Washington - The War Pro
duction board this week request
ed civic officials, businessmen,
and the general public to dis
pense this year with outdoor
Christmas lighting.
Officials said the request did
not apply to indoor Christmas
decorations, however.
WPB said 100000 kilowatt
hours of electricity-enough pow
err to supply all the needs of a
city of $4,000 population for a
year-could be saved by cutting
out the customary holiday decora-
ton of streets, store fronts, and
homes. Considerable critical ma
terial, especially wiring, also can
be saved.
