The war has dislocated the Christmas mailing season. This year. November is the time for mail ing Christmas gifts and cards. Gifts should be marked Do not open until Christmas"
 This is the warning given out to- day by Lillian G. Mill, Acting Post master in Juneau.
 The Postmaster further says there can be no assurance, in view of the unavoidable handicaps of war, that gifts and cards mailed in the weeks immediately preceding Christmas will be delivered on time Such matters must not impede the movement of war materials, anC personnel and military mail.
 Transportation f a cilities arc heavily overburdened The number of railway cars and airplanes avail able for handling Christmas mail k far below that of former years. Fa- cilities simply are not available tt transport and deliver, in the las three weeks before Christmas, tht tremendous quantities of mail tha we heretofore moved in that period

Help is also hard to obtain, and those employed extra cannot work the long hours needed or at the high speed of experienced personnel. My advice and warning IS to make November the month for mall ing Christmas gifts so they may be received in plenty of time. This applies to mail for the States, east ern and middle parts especially, as well as the Pacific Coast"

 In the third place, the future Of petroleum is mostly a guess. Not only are there millions of square miles of potential oil fields still un- tapped in this country, but there IS the possibility that coal, oil shades natural gas, etc, may provide sources not yet touched.
 Oil will be one of the major con- alterations at the peace table and if this war is prolonged, say for three years, may become one of the chief military objectives.
 In view of the fact that the U. S. always has controlled the major portion of the worlds oil supply even though not as much as it eventually may use, there's little reason to believe that we will slip up now
