CAPTAIN O'MALLEY
PRAISES MARINES
Relates History of Leath=
erneCks to Chase Fore
mems Association

I'm not afraid of the future o
America-not when l see such fine
young Americans as do who want
to join up with the Marine Corps
They're a fine lot and as long as
you parents produce such offspring
1 don't think there's much to worry
about" So spoke Captain Neill
OMalley, U. S. M. c., in charge
Of Marine recruiting in Connecticut
and western Massachusetts, at the
monthly meeting of the Chase Fore
mems Club last evening. The cap
tain had only the highest praise for
the type OF women now serving with
the Marines, saying that they were
doing a splendid job at the things
men generally don't like-typing
office routine and the like.
Captain O'Malley traced the his
tory OF the Marine Corps from its
beginnings 1863 years ago down to
the present. punctuating his talk
with both grave and humorous
stories and anecdotes. Enrolment
in the Marines today is at its high
est peak of all time, he said, with
about 100000 men and women in
their ranks. Just prior to our entry
into the war the Marines numbered
some $1,000.
How the officers OF the Marines
came to have the braided cross stop
their service caps was Interestingly
explained by Capt. O'Malley. II
originated away back in the early
days of our naval history, when
opposing men-of-war were lashed
hooks and men boarded the other
together with ropes and graphing
ship plain and fancy mayhem as
their immediate objective. In one OF
these early battles, Marines were
sent aloft in the rigging to shoot
down on the enemy, Unfortunately,
however, the caps OF the enemy
were OF the same appearance from
this height and, in the thick OF bat
tlemen shot down their own COM
rades,
To avoid this John Paul Jones
ordered the Marines to sew on their
cap tops a cross of cloth, to distin-
guish them from the enemy. This
they did and to this day, although
not for the same purpose, Marine
officers caps are adorned with a
braided cross, thus keeping alive
tradition many years old.
Also on the evenings program
were two sound motion pictures,
Italy Surrenders" and The Making
OF a Shooter" the latter film
designed for the purpose of Illus
trating the proper use OF guns and
rifles in the field and on the range,
Fourteen new members were adj
mitted 10 the association at the
business meeting which preceded the
entertainment program, More than
a hundred members were present.

Too Many Coupons for
Purchases

Purchasers of food we're urged to-
day by Mrs. Charlotte Root, food
ration administrator, not to turn
their ration books over to clerks but

Numerous complaints have been

issue additional stamps and urges
strict use OF stamps only on the spec

ed. Likewise dealers have no right
to accept stamps which are issued
for other purchases than those made
she said,
Many local residents have been IN
the habit OF handing their ration
books TO clerks when making pur'
chases and In some cases bad errors
have been made, 1t was pointed out
She urged consumers instead to tear

Charles H. Plat, superintendent
of mails, disclosed that about half
Of the $50 extra workers sought
have already been secured, and with
school sessions. dismissed week
early this year a sufficient number
Of seasonal employees will be OBJ
tanned. The problem lies in per-
suading the mailing public to get
their parcels out early so transpor-
tation facilities would not be over
burdended at the last minute, It
was pointed out.
November 26 has been set as the
closing day for mailing cards and
parcels to the southern, mid-western
and western states, while December
10 has been set as the limit for
mailing to points in the east. Au-
thorities point out no assurance can
be given that mail received later
than the designated dates will be
delivered in time for Christmas
opening.
Transportation facilities are bur-
dended to the limit with war ma
terials and personnel" Postmaster
General Frank @. Walker states in
a communication received by the
local postmaster. 1.-THE only solu-
ton to the Christmas problem Is:
Mail In November, he continues.
THAT Is the only way to avoid dis
appointment on Christmas Day not
only for many civilians but also for
millions Of members Of the armed
forces in this country; 1t Is also the
only way to avoid the possibility of
Christmas emergency in the
transportation and post services" he
adds.
Postal officials state that the vol
ume Of mail now Is far above any
previous records, that railway cars
have been diverted by the hundreds
to war service and that the air lines
have only about half as many mail
planes as they once operated.
Extra workers will serve six
hours per day, 1t was disclosed. Or
dinarily the extra help comes in a
week before Christmas but por-
ton Of the staff Is expected to start
