Porcels For Overseas
Must Be Securely
Wrapped And Tied

Many parcels intended for
members of the armed forces are
presented at the post office for
mailing without being packed or
wrapped well enough for trans
portation overseas, according to
Postmaster Arthur v. Smith.
In explaining why window
clerks question so closely the
condition Of the wrapping, MIR.
Smith pointed out that this mail
must be stored on shipboard, Of
ten under a tremendous load of
other mail, and transported great
distances. In addition parcels
must stand considerable rehan-
ding.
Obviously" he said, "the con-
tents of such parcels must be
very tightly packed and the
outside containers must be con-
eiderably stronger that contain
ers used for parcels that do not
leave our shores"
While some boxes may be
strong enough without an outer
wrapper, the War Department adj
vises that it is highly desirable
that all boxes for overseas ship
ment be wrapped in heavy paper,
as experience has shown that
boxes without an outer wrapper
often become crushed or split,
thus allowing the contents to es-
cape.
When such articles as hard
candies, nuts and carameIs, in
Guiding those covered with choc-
olate, cookies, fruit cakes, and
chocolate bars Individually wrap
ped in waxed paper, are included
in a parcel they should be in
closed in inner boxes of tin. wood
or cardboard. Soft candies,
whether homemade or CONNER
cial, do not carry well, he said.

Operating Table
Given Hospital By
Disbanded Club


A new operating table, present
ed the jackson County hospital
by the former Pascagoula Lions
club, has been received and in
stalled, members OF the hospi-
tai board have announced.
Nearly two years ago. the Lions
club which was at that time an
active organization, raised APP
proximately $3.50 with a barn
dance for the purpose OF present
ing an incubator to the hospital.
The incubator was ordered but it
never arrived and in the mean
time the hospital secured one
from another source and the or
der was cancelled. The money
was then placed in a welfare
fund to be used for medical treat
ment for INDECENT children in the
county but with the big improve
ment in the economic conditions
requests for financial aid became
almost non-existent, former club
members explained. When deci-
sion was made to disband the
club in June, 1913, $479 remained.
AT a meeting of the board Of
directors, a vote was taken to do
nate the entire amount toward
the purchase of an additional
operating table for the hospital.
Eight months after the order was
placed, the table arrived and now
stands as a memorial to the club.

B|ockaded by Allies

bS the hSsoSidteu FTesS.
ROME, Sept. 20.-A strong Allied
blockade has been thrown around
Crete to prevent the escape of the
German garrison, and enemy forces
there are being subjected to a sue
cession of sea and air attacks, an
official announcement said today.
Carrier-based planes from an Al
lied naval tank force operating in
the Aegean destroyed II German
motor vehicles, damaged many more
and wrecked a JU-52 on the ground
in an attack on Crete three days
ago. The next day naval planes
knocked out at least Is more
vehicles.
The British warship Aurora on
September II bombarded Melos, a
tiny Aegean Island midway be-
tween Crete and the Greek main
land. A German wireless station
on Melos was the target for both
the Aurora and the British destroy
er Terpsichore the next day.
A joint Allied communique an
nouncing these strikes also said
that the islands of Mljet. Korcula
and Brac off the Dalmatian coast
were freed from the Germans by
combined operations of Yugoslav
Partisans, the British Navy. the
Balkan Air Force and Allied land
forces of the Adriatic."
Considerable losses were inflicted
on the enemy garrisons and opera
tlons are continuing in the Dalma-
tlan area, the announcement said
