CHRISTMAS MAILS

Christmas mail should have been
in the post offices by December
1. this year if deliveries on time
are to be assured according to Smith
w. Purdurm, Stcond Assistant Post
master General. Mr.. Purdum is re-
sponsible to Postmaster General
Frank C. Walker for smooth and
efficient air and railway mail ser
vice.
Unprecedented wartime demands
On the postal and transportation
systems, plus prospective record
volume of Christmas mailings, were
cited by Mr.. Purdum as necessitat-
ing earlier mailings than ever be-
fore. "It is physically impossible
for the railroads and airlines, bur-
dened with vitality important war
materials to handle Christmas mail
ings as rapidly as in normal times"
Mr.. Purdum said. eff the bulk of
parcels and greetings cards are held
back until the usual time the
period of about December Is to 90
they simply cannot be distributed
in time, and thousands of gifts will
reach their destinations after Christ
mas"
In 1941, abou 1880 mail cars
were required December II and "a
to deliver Christmas mails e.
nough cars to make a train 270
miles long This year, the extra cars
needed to move holiday mails are
largely being used by the armed
services and severe shortage is
in prospect.
In view Of all these handicaps to
the service, Mr.. Purdum added, pos
tai patrons should mail their gifts
by December If they wish to in
sure that their friends will not be
disappointed at Christmas.

All Departments Drastica11y
Affected by the War

Both the activities and the staff
in the offices of Secretary of State
Belle Reeves, State Treasurer Otto
Case and other elective officers are
very unlike what they were one
year ago. Many of the workers are
both men and women who had re-
tired but have come to fill vacancies
in the ranks caused by call to the
services or to war industries There
is also a growing percentage of
young girls who find positions open
in almost any department desired.
and instead of of long line of appli
cants for positions the state finds
itself in competition with industry
on salaries paid and other attrac-
tions with the result that there is
again talk of civil service law to
assist in attracting employees who
might he interesed in working for
less pay now with the prospect of
longer jobs.

Washington State After One
Year at War
OLYMPIA, Dec AT the close
of year at war; Washington State
presents a picture of confidence,
preparedness and courage insofar as
Its state government departments is
concerned.
No state can be better organized
for it's position in the national eff
fort than ours
The office Of Governor Arthur B.
Langlie is concerned with matters
of production and defense to the
extent that all other affairs are
given second consideration. Cooper
alton with the military in all de-
partme1fts has brought many mes
sages of appreciation from leaders
Of the armed forces and there can
be no doubt of the value of this
prompt and complete united effort.
The extent to which the various
state departments have been used
in these many enterprises cannot at
this time be told, but it can be said
that these activities all clear through
the office of the governor have been
extensive and are continuing to the
complete satisfaction of the mill
tary branches of the government
In addition too are many activi-
ties of civilian defense, rationing,
conservation, salvage and other
management which makes the Of
flee of the governor an entirely diff
ferent type of activity than the post
ton to which Governor Langlie was
elected, and 1t is to the credit of
that,gsa.lema1l, ard fortunate for
the state that he has been able to
adapt himself to the situation SD
efficiently.
