"MaH Early" Response Is
DiscOurdging To Post Office
Fear Arises That Thousands OF Service Men
Will Be Without Christmas Gifts

Public response to the Post
Office Departments announcement
of the need for early mailing of
Christmas gifts. to personnel over
seas is "discouraging and gives
ground for fear that many thou
sands in the armed forces will be
disappointed" Postmaster General
Frank C. Walker said today.
Mr.. Walker disclosed that re-
ports submitted to him from key
postal centers show that the vol
ume of early mailing is not only
unexpectedly small, but in some
cities has actually diminished
since the start of the official mail
ing period for Christmas gifts
bound overseas.
"The people evidently fail to
realize the situation that pre-
vails," Mr.. Walker declared, ode
spite excellent cooperation from
merchants, the press and radio and
the nations advertisers. Army
regulations are not the same as
those in force last year. Then,
the people at home were urged to
mail early so that they could feel
reasonably sure their gifts would
be received by Christmas. This

"DunlOggin" Sale
Sets Record Prices
For HOlstein Stock

Some tabulations of figures on
the big dispersal sale at Dunloggin
Farm recently bring out interest
ing observations. "Woodmaster,"
the outstanding sire of the Dun
loggin strain, was the sire of fifty
nine of the animals sold. These
animals brought an average of
1880 head for a total Of nearly
$150,000. "Woodmaster" and his
three sons sired 154 head of ami
mails sold for a total Of $266,800.
The entire herd brought total of
$685., 900.
Of the herd of 260, twenty re-
main in Maryland. The rest are
scattered among twenty-four states.
Two buyers took away Is head
each. The j. w. Cooper Founda-
ton, of New York, paid $51, 900
for Is and ]. A. Sutton, Visalia,
California, took away Is for
$28, 200.
Average for the entire herd was
$1,857, the highest on record for
a dispersal sale. Of the entire
herd all but six were born at
"Dunloggin."
Paul B. Misner, under whom the
"Dunloggin" herd was developed,
is considered the outstanding au-
thority in the country on Holstein
cattle. Mr.. Misner's name did not
appear in any Of the advertising

year the case is different. One
cannot send gifts after the closing
date without showing letter from
the men overseas specifically re-
questing the article which is being
sent to him. The Navy does not
have this provision, but after the
mailing period ends, overseas de-
livery by Christmas cannot be
assured.
"The mailing period began Sep
TENDER 15. It closes October Is
for Army overseas personnel, and
November for Navy personnel
overseas. We had expected that
relatives and friends of men and
women in such stations as Aus
tralia, China and India would get
their packages off to the service
men in the opening days, and that
thereafter the volume Of Christ
mas packages would swell daily.
Reports coming to me from key
centers throughout the Nation
show that the volume of overseas
packages is surprisingly small,
and we are astonished to find that
in some cities the volume has di-
minished. This move is discour-
aging and gives ground for fear
that many thousands in the armed
forces will be disappointed.
eve must remember that arms,
munitions and supplies take pre-
cedence over gifts in the allotment
of shipping space. If our people
in the armed forces are to receive
Christmas gifts on time, their
relatives and friends must speed
up their mailings. Because l
know how important mail from
home and Christmas gifts from
home are to our men and women
overseas, l strongly urge those
who plan to send gifts to do so
at once"

yet his endorsement of any par
ticular animal was the signal for
more spirited bidding. Mr.. Misner
stated that he intended taking an
extended vacation. AS profes-
sional assistants Mr.. Misner had
the services of F. C. Wetmore,
James Reed and Harvey Baker.
The animals were sold as a re-
suit of the decision of the owner,
Joseph Natwick, to withdraw
from the breeding field. Mr.. Nat
wick named the farm "Dunloggin"
because at the time he had deter
mined to quit the lumber business.
The farm has been sold but the
contract denies the right to use
"Dunloggin" name.
Few people in Howard County
realized that at "Dunloggin" was
located one of the outstanding
herds of purebred stock in Amer
lea.
