When we prepared our column
last week we reported some of the
damage done by the peculiar storm
which hit this vicinity. Since then
we have been around and found out
some more facts. Mr.. and Mrs.
Lee Howes farm was hit very hard
with several thousands of dollars
of property damage. Their chicken
houses and brooder houses were
fiattened by the force of the wind
and an unknown number of chick
ems were crushed by the building.
The pigpen was completely demol-
ished and the roof blown into the
next field. 1t was only by mir
acle that Mr.. and Mrs. Howes were
not injured. Just few minutes
before the worst part of the storm
they returned from Frederick and
hurriedly changed their clothes to
tend to their stock. They opened.
the door to go out and then decided
that they would wait until the
storm quoted down bit. In less
than five minutes the full force of
the storm wrecked havoc upon their
property. The sleeping porch of
their house was also ruined, part
Of the roof torn off. The front door
was blown off and the wind went
went up thru the house and open
ed an attic trap door which hereto
fore has only been opened with
great deal of effort.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. Leroy Darby
also suffered property loss from
the storm when lightning hit their
chimney. Their porch roof, bedroom
and furnace were also damaged by
lightning which in all will cost
several hundred dollars to replace.
Mrs. Henry Becraft has recover
ed from an attack of tonsilitis
which kept her in bed for a week.
The Wesleyan Service Guild met
on Tuesday evening at the home of
Miss Gertrude Wiber, with Miss
Esther Clarke as cohostess. The
attendance was splendid and the
meeting most inspirational.
Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel Fretz en-
tertained some friends with two
tables of bridge on Saturday.
Mrs. Mason Allnutt has closed
her home at Front Royal, Va, for
the winter and will make her home

November Is
Christmas Mailing
Month This Year

Delivery of the annual flood of
Christmas gifts and cards on
time, always a serious problem,
twill be more than a problem this
year-it will be an impossibility-
unless Christmas mailings are
made largely in November" Post
General Frank c. Walker
warned today.
Transportation facilities are
burdened to the limit with war ma
terials and personnel, and the pos
tai service has sent more than
$1,000 experienced employees into
the Army and Navy" Mr.. Walker
said. The only solution to the
Christmas problem is Mail in No
vember. Mark your parcels, "Do
Not Open Until Christmas" That
is the only way to avoid disap-
pointment on Christmas Day not
only for many civilians but also
for millions of members of the
armed forces who are still in this
country.
at is also the only way to avoid
the possibility of Christmas emer-
gency in the transportation and
postal services. If the public will
cooperate by mailing their Christ
mas parcels during November, we
can handle small volume of light,
last-minute mailings, such as cards,
up to December 10-but we can do
that and avoid an emergency only
if November is really christmas
Mailing Month"
Postal officials pointed out that
the volume of mail now is far
above any previous records, that
railway cars by the hundreds have
been diverted to war service and
that the air lines have only about
half as many planes as they once
operated.
More than 100000 extra tenn
porary employees normally are
employed to help with the holiday
postal rush. This year the extra
employees will be largely women
and high school boys and girls who
are unable to work the long hours
usually required and whose work
will be relatively slow.
To deliver the Christmas mails
OH time, therefore, it is necessary
that mailings be spread out over a
longer period so that available
transportation equipment and pos
tai personnel can be used during
more weeks. 1t will be utterly i'm
possible to make the deliveries by
Christmas if mailers wait until the
last three weeks before the Holt
day, as in normal years.
There is another season for shop
ping and mailing earlier than ever
before. Retail stores are short
handed. Purchasers can avoid shop
ping in crowded stores, long waits
for service and othe inconveni-
ences if they buy now. They will
also doubtless have better choice
of merchandise than will be avail
able later.
Postmaster General Walker OBJ
served that his warning is not an
attempt to tell the Npublic what to
do; it is only an advance notifica-
ton of what will happen if they
mail late. He feels that the public
is entitled to the facts, and that
when they know them, they will de-
eide to MAIL IN NOVEMBER.

Letters to Editor
The SENTINEL,

The SENTINEL,
Dear Sir:
We are, we believe, an unusual
squad. We are made up of nearly
all Marylanders, four of which are
Montgomery County men. Cor
poral Charles Hawkins, Corporal
Otis Butt, Private Paul Reuhl and
myself. Baltimore and Annapolis
are also represented, by Corporal
Walter Erdman and Corporal John
Scheaffer. The reason we think
our squad is unusual is because
most men in our unit are mixed
men from different parts of the
United States.
Since we left the States we
have been in the South Pacific
area, and find to our delight that a
copy of THE SENTINEL has found
its way even down here, and
brought US news of our old bud
dies whom we would like to hear
from again. That is what we call
a wide range of circulation for any
paper.
Sincerely,
PRIVATE RICHARD FRENCH.

PRIVATE RICHARD FRENCH.
Oct. 19,1943.
The SENTINEL,

When we won the War with
Spain, in 1898, we acquired the
outlying Spanish possessions,
among others, two valuable groups
of islands in the Pacific Ocean, the
Carolinas and the Ladrones. These
two groups total some 1900 islands.
For some strange reason, stupid
and misguided politicians sold
them to Germany, for a few mil
lion dollars, instead of keeping
them and developing them for our
own interest.
In the last War, when Germany
was using their ports to damage
our shipping, we had to be "very
grateful to Japan" for INDUCING
her desire for more territory and
taking them from Germany, as we
had been too thrifty to have a
Navy large enough to attend to
both oceans. Japan promptly for
titled them and would not let any
one come near them-a ship in
distress, plane, or anything. She
forbade the teaching of Christian
ity, which distressed the natives
greatly. They had been converted
by the Missionaries, and they did
not wish their children forcibly
taught heathenism. 1t has been
said that if they had not had these
islands, the Japs probably could
not have fought this War, as they
furnished them with quantities of
raw materials which they need,
and bases, from which they could
fly to bomb all the places they
wished.
The islands grow hemp which we
used to get from Manila which the
Japs now hold. Also, tea, coffee.
rubber, quinine, sugar, copper, and
other things which grow in the
tropics. These islands could be
given as "bounty land" to the SOL
diers, as was done in former wars.
If they did not want to stay out
there, they could sell the deed.
Those boys who have been crawl
ing around in the Jungles, would
be glad to become wealthy plant
ters." 1t would help the unem-
ployment situation after the war.
Instead of looking for employ
ment when they return after the
war, they would become owners of
valuable property and brother Tom
and cousin Joe could come up to
help Jack or Bill with the planta-
ton or the store, and they could
marry "best girl" at once instead
of waiting. The native field hands
would be delighted with the change
of masters, as they all hate the
Japs.
There would be shipping clerks
needed to handle the crops shipped
home, and ships, and sailors, and
railroads, perhaps.
We have gone from jamestown
and Plymouth Rock to the Pacific
and there is no reason why we
should not go farther and carry
the blessings of our civilization
onward. We owned the islands
once, and by all means take them
back. Those who have held them
since are both fighting us, and we
should rescue our former posses
sions. We are driving the JAMS
out anyway. If they take them
back after we are gone, it will be
the same thing over again.
Better profit by experience.
