New Method Speeds
Up Mail Delivery

The new method of speeding up mail
deliveries, through addition of a branc
post office number to the address on
mail for delivery in large cities, is
being placed in operation rapidly. Re-
ports from many cities indicate that it
has been received Enthusiastically by
the press, postmasters, business con-
Germs and the public.
Within a few days after initiation of
the plan, under instructions of Post
master General Frank C. Walker, near
ly all the postmasters in the large
cities affected had assigned postal unit
numbers to their branch offices, mill
lions OF residents had been advised of
the number to be added to their adj
dresses, and a considerable volume of
mail already was carrying the num-
bers assigned. By June l, it is expect
ed that practically all whose addresses
are affected will have been notified of
their postal unit numbers.
The new system speeds up the sepa-
ration of mail for distribution to branch
officer and permits much more rapid
handling of mail by inexperienced postal
clerks, thousands of whom have beer
nave gone into the armed forces and
employed to replace personnel who
into war industries.
Rapid increase in volume of mail and
the loss of some thirty thousand pos
tai employees to the armed forces made
it necessary to adopt the plan, in the
interest of accurate, efficient mail SER
vice and for the relief of postal per-
sonnet who are carrying an extremely
heavy burden of work. The average
work week in the service nov is about
50 hours, and in many post offices,
employees are working 10 and ~ hours
a day, seven days a week, because of
shortages of personnel.
An example of the new type of ad-
dress is:
John C. Smith
222 Mattapan Ave.
Boston 8
Massachusetts
The number after the name of the
city indicates the branch post office
(of postal unit") through which de-
livery is made. Each resident of the
large cities is asked by his postmaster
to add the postal unit number to his
return address, and to notify all to
whom he writes that his address is not
complete without the number.
Residents of small cities, towns and
rural regions should inquire of their
correspondents in the large cities con-
corning the number assigned to the city
residents branch post office so that the
mail be expedited. The degree to which
mail will be speeded depends upon the
extent to which the number are used
by mailers.

HAZEL
EYES
BY Hazel Brannon

Monday, June 14th, is Flag Day. The
proud banner of the United States of
America should be flown on that day
by every business house and home. The
first Flag Day was observed June Ia,
at Hartford, Conn, and the first tim
Flag Day was celebrated in the public
schools was in Philadelphia in 1893.
The American ship Columbia was the
first sailing vessel to carry the U. s.
flag around the world. She sailed from
Boston. Today our flag is flying in
ports arou the world and We are
praying that IL won't be very long be-
fore it will be flying over Tokyo. Ber-
lin and Rome.
aippi are being urged to plant as much
acreage IS possible in feed crops to
help prevent an expected drastic short
age Of feed this year. There has been
considerable increase in the livestock
being raised but the feed crop supply
10 less than last year.
Mississippi had IL per cent less oats
and IL percent less hay this spring than
at the same time last year and we have
10 percent more hogs. 55 per cent more
cattle and 13 per cent more chickens
to feed.
The only safe way to meet this defi-
mite feed problem is for farmers to raise
as much of their feed as possible.
County Agent /. W. Carson gives US
some interesting information on our
cotton crop.
An average cotton crop of 10000
bales produced annually by Holmes
County farmers represents approximate
ly 5000, 900 pounds Of cotton seed oil
or fat, which, if loaded on railroad cars,
40 tons EACH, would take 81 cars to
transport it to market.
The average Holmes County milk
COW, In 1889. according to the 1910 CEN
sus report, produced 1915 pounds of
milk. If this milk tested five percent
butter fat, it would take 57,772 average
COWS to produce rs much fat as our
average cotton crop.
Besides being a food crop, think Of
the feed value Of cotton seed meal and
bulls. II the meal was loaded on 40
ton cars, it would take 1870 to take it
to the market not to mention a hundred
cars Of hulls.
The conclusion to be drawn is that
cotton is an invaluable food and feed
crop as we'll as fiber.
Vera Anderson, l9-year old Pasca-
goula, Mississippi girl has been accord
cd the title of champion woman welder
Of the United States. She 10 young. slim
and looks attractive from the pictures
in the papers. She has just recently xe-
turned from . trip to Washington which
she won rs part Of the championship
prize. From the newspaper accounts she
captured the city's heart.
Vera Anderson Is 4 far cry from the
southern girl Of yesterday . . 1t
least the n . we used to read about
in stories F. the cool fragile girl who
never did anything in her life except
have beaus and go TO dances and house
parties and move through q succession
Of flirtations until marriage. .Today's
southern girl is different. She is not
content to stay home and wait for a
husband to show up. SID is interested
in getting for herself a job, preferably
an absorbing one, and standing on her
own two feet self sufficient and un-
afraid. Vera Anderson definitely repre-
sents q new trend and one for the bet
ter.

we're still far from favorable. The
skipper dropped the flaps, but only
the starboard one came down That
threw us off level once more, but
somehow or other, just before we
hit, Trench managed to get her
levelled off again and We came
crashing in.
We slid for about % feet and then
the aircraft came to rest with its
back broken. 1t was bent almost
into the shape of boomerang.
On the crash the starboard inner
engine ripped out and dropped to
the ground, where it lay burning,
right beside the break. With the
fuselage filled with petrol fumes a
real fire and an explosion was in
evitable
Everybody got out with the ex-
ception OF the rear gunner.
When he didn't show up I started
back in with the engineer, Sergt.
"Spud' Mallett, an English lad. and
the bomb aimer, Sergt. Fred Thorpe,
Of London, England. They went in
through the break in the fuselage.
We had just got in when a huge
tongue Of blue flame ran through
under my legs. Then the explosion
came.
Mallett and Thorpe were killed
instantly I was blown right out of
the aircraft and landed on my feet
about 20 yards away from it. I was
dazed. I guess, but I wasn't hurt
and didn't feel any pain, SO I started
back in after the rear gunner, Bill
Glendenning, OF Scotland.
Somehow got through to the rear
turret. Glendenning had been
trapped in there by pieces of his
harness which had caught on broken
struts and spars. His flying clothes
were on fire but 7 was able to Jerk
him loose and carry him out. I
ripped off as many of his clothes
as could and managed to beat out
the rest of the flames but not until
he had been pretty badly burned
Strangely enough I came through
it without even getting singed. Glen
denning was rushed to hospital and
has made remarkable recovery,
although do not think he will ever
be able to fly again.

the rear guns so that if anybody
came up behind us we could do
something about it and not be en-
! tirelv sitting birds
The engineer was doing an amaz-
ing job, switching from tank to tank
By this time the whole fuselage was
just loaded with petrol.
The wireless had gone unservice-
able in all the excitement and our
return back to base. if We were to
get back, was strictly up to the navi-
gator, an English lad
He laid out our course between
the known defences of the Dutch
coast and we started on it, hoping
that luck would be with us.
With the engines the way they
were, the aircraft was setting up a
terrific vibration. just like when you
try out an outboard motor on an
empty apple barrel. I was sure the
wings would fall off at any time.
Won DSO for Nights Work.
But Paddy. our skipper, kept her
flying. He got the DSO for the job
he did that night and it was GER
tainly we'll deserved.
When we hit the Dutch coast, one
lone searchlight started to reach for
us. but by this time we had dropped
to $50 feet and it was probing above
where we were.
In any event we got through and
out to sea. We had slowed to not
more than l40 miles an hour. How
we maintained flying speed Ill never
know. I thought we were going to
stall at any time. But we old have
an engineer who was a wizard and
a skipper could keep anything fly
ing that was capable of being air
borne and somehow or other they
got us across the Channel and over
the coast of England.
Then new trouble developed. We
were unable to send out recognition
signals or to contact our base. The
next thing we knew British search
lights started looking for us, and
we'd certainly have been in trouble
if they had started shooting at us
for we couldn't take any evasive ac-
tion-just had to fly straight and
level.
We had managed to get about a
thousand feet altitude by this time
so we fired our colors of the day
with Verey lights That got us past
the British defences okay.
Just about this time the starboard
inner engine finally quit. That
proved too much, even for our fight
engineer, and there was nothing
to do but land. So down we came
and the skipper picked out a field.
