Servicemen
Use Vote

Observers were surprised at the
large number of ServIcemen who
took the trouble TO send in ballots
in the Maryland primary. The count
of 1870 furnished a sufficient an
swer to those who maintained that
servicemen were not interested i'm
voting.
Soldier ballots "will be widely
used i'm the November general elec.
tion," observed Governor O'Conor.
Labor will advise its members in
the armed forces to back those can-
didates who have shown themselves
genuinely interested in winning the
war.

BUDGET INADEQUATE
The Councils budget as orig
inally drawn contained no new
funds for the Fairgrounds at all.
The recreation of the city's youth
was to be looked after by using
up the unexpended balance of last
years $4,000.
On the Mayors insistence the
sum was increased to a straight
$1,000 as In previous years. y The

budget was $4,000. but he has indi-
Gated that $4,000 would not be
too much to fill the need, and in
this view he was strongly backed
by Labor.
Then the Mayor discovered that
paving lien which had been car
ried as a credit on the books was
being charged off. Nobody eX-
planned how or in whose interest
the value behind the lien had been
allowed to disappear. 1t had hap
pened some time in the last 10 or
II years.
The Mayor objected to making
his first administration take the
loss. He asked for facts. The
Council gave In. On suggestion
of City Solicitor Heskett, the
$1,000 was allOcated to play

campaign is good but needs to be better.
 'Exertaordinary conditions face us" MT. Walker said Unless more people buy and mail this month the postal service cannot do its job o1 delivering all Christmas gifts or time.
 Tt is not pleasing to us to have tc ask the American people to mail packages so far in advance of the delivery date. We do so only because it has to be done. The job is tre- mendous one, but we are confident that it will be done because we know from experience that given sound reasons Americans cooperate mag nificently.
 MT. Walker explains that "Unpre- cendented shortages of man power and transportation facilities grow ing out of the war compel early mailing. The Postal Service has given 50,000 experienced employees to the armed forces and 3OO,O0O rail- road workers have gone to war.
 GAAdAy OC44OuS S IA4C 4dCb J1ldG rail and other transport facilities are taxed to the limit with the great burden of war trafi1c which all of Us know must take precedence. In a great number of our 43,O0O Post Offices the man power shortage is critical. The 100000 extra workers whom we normally recruited to handle the swollen Christmas VOL tune of mail were able to work long hours of overtime and do heavy work. This cannot be expected from the women and high school boys 'anwd girls to whom in large part we must look this year to meet the situation.
 '"The way in which everyone res- bonded in making it possible for us to handle volume of 10000, ,O00 par cels for the armed forces overseas leaves no doubt in my mind that the November Christmas mailing will be equally successful.

Fair Holiday Weather

Boston, Nov. 22-CUP)-Most of the nation will have fair Thanks giving weather tomorrow, the Bos- ton weather bureau predicted today m special forecast from the state where the first Thanksgiving was celebrated.
 The Boston weather bureau about 35 miles from Plymouth where the first Thanksgiving Day was held in 1921 by the Pilgrims gaev special advisory as to what the weather for the entire country will be tomorrow.
 In a preface to its forecast, the weather bureau pointed out that those who celebrated the first Thanksgiving had no means of foretelling what weather conditions might be in store for the hardy band of Pilgrims and their Indian friends who gathered to feast and give thanks to God for bounti- full harvest after their first year in the New World
 To-day, in sharp contrast. the over the length and breadth of this land can benefit by the con- stant watchefulness of a national weather service" the weather bu- reau said.
 "Over it's major portion, the country is now enjoying pleasant, settled weather.
 During tomorrow'S holiday every indication points to con- tinuation of this widespread fair weather tendency. No severe storms and no extremely cold weather is in prospect anywhere.
 The forecast:
 Considerable cloudiness accom- panied by 8 few flurries of snow will prevail over much of the northeast and from New England and New York State westward to the upper Mississippi valley and southwestward to the middle Ap- palachian mountains of West Vir- ginia.
 "Cloudiness is also expected from southern Texas through New Mex ico and Arizona to extreme south ern California with little light rain in extreme southern Texas and in the southernmost portions of the far south western states. The Pacific northwest will exper- fence considerable fog and occa- sional rain will occur in north western Oregon and the western pjart of the state of Washington. But elsewhere, over most of the country, widespread sunny skies and fairly light winds can be an- ticipated.
 "it will be ujst little colder than usual for this time of the year in New England, in New York state and over much of the south from Texas to the Carolinas, Georgia and Florida. but tempera- lures fairly close to normal are looked for over most of the rest of the country. The bright sunny skies in most of the southern and central states all day will produce mild and extremely pleasant Thanksgiving afternoon"
