MEMBERS OF ARMED
FORCES ELIGIBLE TO
VOTE IN ELECTIONS

Thousands of post cards are
being sent to the posts, camps
and stations in the United States
for use of soldiers in requesting
the secretary of state of the
state of their residence for bal.

provides means for members of
the armed forces to cast their
ballots.
Officers are to supervise the
handling of ballots cast under
the provisions of the law, as
we'll as ballots for such state
elections as may be provided for
by the laws of the various states.
Each voter is required to at
test to his eligibility and status,
under oath, and any commission
ed officer may administer such
oath. Through the use of these
cards, direct contact is estab-
lished between the soldier and
his home state. Following re-
ceipt of his request for an Off
cial war ballot, this will be sent
to him by the secretary of state
of his home state, together with
instructions for voters and a seal
ed envelope in which to return
the ballot.
After marking the war ballot
voter will seal it in the official
envelope, then fill in and take
the oath printed upon the en-
velope and mail it to the secre-
tary of state Of his home staths
who will transmit it to the ap-
propriate election officials.

This Is One Of Reasons
Advanced For Reported
Withdrawal OF Men
From Russia
(By Associated Press)

(By Associated Press)
MOSCOW. Oct. s.-Despite the
assertion made by Berlin Yester-
day that the German high COM
mand had changed IFS plans about
the capturing of Stalingrad. the
Russian communique stated to-
day that the fighting is just as
intense as il was DeIore the Ger
man news" was given to the
world.
Another discrepancy was not
ed in the communique issued by
the German high command: no
mention was made of the fight
ing at Stalingrad. but the entire
information about the various
battles raging in Russia was con-
fined to the clashes in the eau
casus. where the Germans de-
clared they have made notable
gains in the last "a hours. That
claim was denied by the Rus
slams. who said that the enemy
is still being held in the Caucas-
us. and that his attempt TO reach
the Caspian Sea before snow
starts TO fall is doomed to fail
ure.
The Russian communicate
pointed out that Just a week has
elapsed since Hitler said he was
going to take Stalingrad. and
that. instead of admitting his
failure to his people, he is trying
to build up their morale by as
surances that the German army
will reach the Caspian.
Russian military circles gave
two reasons for the German as
sertion that no further attempt
would be made to occupy Stain
grad. The first is that Hitler.
fearing an about Allied attack
on the Western Front is immin-
emit has withdrawn troops from
Russia for use in occupied Eu-
rope: secondly, he may be trying

that they will relax their efforts
to drive back the Germans in the
Stalingrad area.

What Can We All Do About 1t?
Who Takes 1t On The Chin?

Your grocer can't work out these problems
all by himself. It's a job we've all got to
tackle together.
On our part, we are dividing up, among
our distributors, what Del Monte Foods there
are fairly and squarely.
But we, as producers, are doing much more
than tfTat. Right now, IN the big national mag
azines, we are introducing d brand-new war
time shopping program based on the broad
plan of

through the intelligent cooperation of all.
We call this the Del Monte "Buy-for-a-
Week" plan. And its based on Just the kind
of cooperation we are talking about.
All you have to do is plan meals ahead "a
week in advance. Then buy as many as pos
sible of the foods you need for week in one

II isn't just the holiday rush. 1t isn't more
customers big orders and lots Of them!
No! Your grocer's problems today are far
more serious than that.
Already, he's beginning to face shortages of
certain foods
Not that there won't be plenty to eat
But we're certainly not going to find the
same lavish assortrnents and the big displays
we've been used to. We won't be able to pick
and choose with the same pre-war freedom
We're not going TO like that. None Of u.s.
We may even be annoyed and impatient.
SO, when your grocer says. Sorry. I'm all
out" or. Il hope to have what you want next
week-it ought to be in" how should you
take it?
In the name Of fair pay-don't blame your
grocer. Instead. remember
IT Is NOT YOUR GROCER'S FAULT. 1t is
not the packers fault. Nor the growers. 1t
isn't anybody'S fault.

It's Just Plain War

That's what the trouble Isl Last summer,
for instance, Del Monte put up more fruits
and vegetables than ever before. We filed
every can and every glass jar we could handle
and still keep Del Monte Quality right up
where it always has been.
This called for teamwork all along the line.
We needed all the help we could get. So even
our statesmen pitched in. Stenographers traded
typewriters for canning tables. Week ends
meant work but work meant more food for
you.
Even at that-it wasn't enough.
America has more hungry mouths TO feed
than ever. Millions more! Our fighting men
at home and all over the world. Our allies!

But he has less TO sell. Deliveries TO him are
often slow and uncertain because the men and
machines of war must move even ahead OF
food. That's why you'll sometimes find empty
spaces on his shelves.
He's hard-pressed for help, too. And he feels
the pinch on tires and gas far more than most

Deer throughout the Northern portion of Southeast Alaska were found to be plentiful and in good condition by Deputy Alaska Game Warden Malcolm Creamy, who re- turned this week on the Grizzly Bear from a post season trapping patrol. Most of the deer were in the country back from the beaches, Creamy stated. This relieved the fear felt during December by Game Commission officials that this year might be so severe that the deer would be seriously depleted.

To the Editor of the Daily Alas ka Empire, Jan. 30-In reading the exhibit in the PAA window, be- lieve the public will be left with the impression that the respirator, or iron lung, was purchased from funds given to the Territorial De- partment of Health. As the funds for the respirator were collected from the citizens of Juneau, would appreciate it very much if you would today so state in your paper.
 I believe that it would be well, also, to state that the Bradford frames and leg and arm braces were loaned to the Department of Health by the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis for use throughout the Territory
