|YULETIDE SHOPPING
REACHES ITS PEAK
EARLIER THIS YEAR
Restricted Supply of Gift Mer-
chandise Brings Out
Buyers Earlier
Christmas Decorations Missing
From Downtown Streets
and Business Places

Spurred by the paradox of plenty
of money and a restricted supply of
gift merchandise, Christmas shopping
is at its peak in Bluffton altho the
holiday still is two and one-half
weeks away.
At the rate gift items have been
moving for the last week, there
simply won't be enough to go all
the way around, and shoppers who
realize the situation are doing their
Christmas buying far earlier this
year than ever before in history.
With the familiar Yuletide setting
missing from downtown streets, and
undecorated places of business greet
ing those seeking gifts the atmos-
phere is far cry from that of pre-
war years. The shopping rush is
the same as that ordinarily assoeiat-
ed with Christmas, however, altho
it started two weeks earlier than
usual.
Among other reminders of the APP
preaching holiday, Christmas trees
made an early appearance on Bluff
ton markets during the last week,
and so far the incoming supply has
been bought almost as rapidly as it
goes ION sale. A shortage of trees
has assured a ready sale for all
received here.
Xmas Music Daily
Christmas music broadcast at p
m. daily from the College Hall tower
at Bluffton college can be heard over
most of the town. Music of the
chimes and amplified phonograpf
recordings are featured.
Christmas mailing, too, will hi
its peak earlier this year, in response
to government appeals to give tn,
post office department more time tt
handle parcels and greeting cards.
Postmaster Ed r. Reichenbach thi,
week warned Bluffton residents tha
all packages and cards should be il
the mail no later than Friday tt
assure delivery befdre Christmas.
Candy supply Short
| Candy may not be as plentiful q
earlier anticipated after relaxation
of sugar rationing affecting cand.
making, because of a shortage o.
help to turn out the product before
the holidays. Much homemade can
dy, as a result, is expected to sup
plement commercial stocks.
Opening musical observance of thu
| Yuletide season will be the Blufftoi
College Choral Society's annua
rendition of Handel's Messiah" a
s p. m. Sunday, Dec. 10, in the higl
| school gymnasium.
During the following week the sea
son will be at its height, with schoo
and church programs leading up tt
the climax that will come on Christ
mas Eve for every family which ha'
children in its circle.

| Salvation Army
Active
On All Fronts

In order to keep the public posted
on what the Salvation Army is do
ing all over the world, j. V. Baron
Auriemma of Phoenix. who was here
this week, gives the following news
release:
Since the first u. S. troops reach
ed Australia, thousands of Ameri-
can boys have been served at Sal
vation Army Red Shield Clubs, en-
joying all privileges including can
teens, writing facilities with free
writing paper, sewing and pressing
service, information bureaus and
recreational equipment.
The Salvation Army has official
recognition by military and air force
authorities to perform welfare SER
vice in base camps and with troops
in the field, Baron Auriemma said.
There are over 100 Salvation Army
officers and accredited welfare rep
nesentatives serving at such points
and with field forces in Australia
and overseas.
At many Australian camps, Sal
vation Army officers have made ar
rangements for cleaning and press
! ing clothes, altering new uniforms
! issued, sewing on chevrOnS, services
offered every man from the Colon
el down. One U. S. Army officer
was SO impressed with such services
he invited Salvationists to attend
with the official part at the salut-
ing base during ceremonial parade
All Australian Clubs are in charge
of Salvation Army officers who are
always available for counsel, includ-
ing devotional services fer men OF
/ all faiths. Thousands have attend
ed, the Baron said.
| u. S. troops have also extensively
used the Salvation Army's Leave
Hostels in Australian capitals, where
beds and meals are provided at cost,
along with lounge and recreation
rooms, writing materials, libraries,
chiropodists, and many other facili-
ties available without charge.
Commissioner Mcmillan has beer
informed by the National Com
mander of The Salvation Army OF
the splendid work being done by
Salvationists in New Guinea, scene
of today's desperate fighting. "Oul
camp has become a historic rendez,
vous as our officers gladly share
the lot of fighting soldiers under
frightful jungle conditions.

Honorable Carl Hayden
United States Senate.
NV dear Senator Hayden:
Your letters of January and IA,
1943, addressed to General Arnold
concerning the necessity for defer
ring construction of the proposed
Civil Aeronautics Administration
airport projects at Wilcox and No
gales, Arizona, have been referred
to me for reply.
The airport projects at Wilcox
and Nogales were originally author
lied for construction in order that
auxiliary fields would be available
throughout the United States for
temporary and emergency use. How
ever, when War was declared the
nations construction efforts was
increased materially in order to pre-
vide adequate training facilities for
units being prepared for combat
service At the present time con-
struction involving labor, materials
and equipment is so great that only
projects critically needed to meet
the immediate needs of the Army
Air Forces can be constructed. Since
the fields at Wilcox and Nogales
do not qualify in this category, it
was necessary that the construction
of these projects be deferred until
such time as construction equipment
and materials are more readily
available.
It is regretted that this action
was necessary but we feel sure you

OOO, 900 was made to develop this
field. Thereupon, the residents OF
this area invested approximately
$40, 900 in the acquisition of lands
necessary to- the construction of an
airport meeting the requirements OF
the CAA
1t was my understanding at that
time that the CAA had approved
this project on the basis of a favor
able recommendation received from
the War Department and that the
field at Wilcox would eventually be
used as an emergency operational
base for Army Air Forces pilots I'M
dergoing training at the large Army
Air Base near Douglas, Arizona.
Similar facts prevail with regard
to the construction of a CAA airport
near Nogales, Arizona. 1t was my
understanding at the time that the
Civil Aeronautics Administration
made an ALLEGATION of funds for the |
development of the field near Nc
gales that such action was taken on
the basis of a favorable recommen-
dation forthcoming from the War
Department. The residents of No
gales and Santa Cruz County have
invested approximately $4,000 in
the acquisition of lands necessary to
the construction of this field.
I have discussed this situation |
over the telephone with officials of |
the Civil Aeronautics Administra-
ton, and I am advised by them that
the deferment of these two airport !
development projects was brought
about as a result of an order issued
by the Facilities Review Committee
of the War Production Board. Such |
order was apparently based upon
recommendations made by the War
Department. AS I understand the
procedure followed, the War Pro
duction Board requested the CAA
to supply the Facilities Review
Committee with a complete list OF
all CAA airport projects throughout
the United States. Upon receipt OF
such a list, the War Production |
Board transmitted the names OF
those projects Of interest to the
Army to the War Department to-
gether with a request that as many
projects as possible be selected for
deferment Thus, the stop-work
order on the Nogales and Wilcox
airports was apparently recommend
ed by the War Department.
In view Of the fact that these two
fields we're originally considered to
be of Importance to our Army Air
Forces training program and that
the citizens of Wilcox and Nogales
have invested their money in good
faith in the acquisition Of lands
necessary to the construction OF
these fields, I feel that this matter
| is deserving of further consideration
on the part of the Army Air Forces.
Under date of January I sent
wire to Major General Ralph P.
Cousins, Commanding the West
Coast Army Air Forces training
Center at Santa Ana, California,
requesting his advice as to what
action his headquarters had taken
to the cancellation of the Wilcox
and Nogales projects. I am attach

at the War Department mere.
I am deeply sorry to observe that
it is impossible for the Army Air
Forces Headquarters to recommend
to the War Production Board that
work on the Ncgales Airport be con-
tinued under existing circumstances.
I feel reasonably sure that con-
struction on this field can be under
taken later when so much man
power and materials will not be
needed on other more Immediately
essential Army and Navy projects.
You may be certain that I shall
continue to urge the completion OF
the Nogales field, and I shall let
YOU know when there is any change
in the status of this matter.
With kindest personal regards, I
am,
