Mdilinq Asked

Public response to the Post
Office departments "Shop now!
Mail in November" campaign is
good but needs to be better, &C
cording to Postmaster General
Frank c. Walker.
Extraordinary wartime con-
ditions face u.s." Mr.. Walker
said. Unless more people buy
and mail this month the postal
service cannot do its job of de-
livering all Christmas gifts on
time.
1T is not pleasing to us to
have to ask the American people
to mail packages so far in ad-
vance of the delivery date. We
do so only because it has to be
done. The job is a tremendous
one, but we are confident that
1t will be done because we know
from experience that given
sound reasons Americans CO.
operated magnirlcently.
unprecedented shortages OF
man power and transportation
facilities groWing out OF the war
compel early mailing. The postal
service has given $1,000 exper-
fenced employees to the armed
The Hardin tribune-herald. [volume] (Hardin, Mont.) 1925-1973, 1944-11-23
and 100000 railroad

forces and 100000 railroad
workers have gone to war.
Equally serious is the fact that
rail and other transport facili-
ties are taxed to the limit with
the great burden of war traffic
which all of us know must take
precedence.
In a great number of our
4 $4,000 post offices the man pow
err situation is critical. The 200,-
900 extra workers whom we
normally recruit to handle the
swollen Christmas volume of
mail were able to work long
hours of overtime and to do
heavy work. This cannot be eX-
pected from the women and
high school boys and girls to
whom in large part we must
look this year to meet the sit
uation.
The way in which everyone
responded in making it possible
for us to handle a volume of
10000 900 parcels for the armed
forces overseas leaves no doubt
in my mind that the November
Christmas mailing will be
equally successful. I ask for the
help Of the press, radio, business
advertisers, civic groups and all
Americans IN making it possible
for employees to do the work.

LETTERS FROM THE
FIGHTING FRONTS
Interesting Letters From Any
Serviceman Will Be Printed
In This Column

Following is a letter received
from Pfc. Traugatt Kraft by his
parents recently. Pfc. Kraft
writes from Germany:
Dear Folks:
I received your most welcome
letter and was happy to hear
from you. I have been doing
very little writing and haven't
been getting mucn mail for
quite awhile. The weather is
cooling off with quite a bit of
rain. I am feeling fine except
for a cold just starting.
Yes, I am getting the Hardin
paper, but they should have my
new APO. number. So some
time when you get to town you
can go over and change it.
How are all the neighbors
getting along with their fall
work? Oh, yes, how does it feel
not to have a bunch of sugar
beets to harvest this year? You
know there are a lot of stock
and sugar beets raised all over
this country. They seem to have
a nice season for stuff like
that for they have some mighty
fine looking beets without ir-
rigation. Some of them look a
lot better than some that the
ground over there ever does put
out.
Well, there isn't much to write
so I guess I will close for now.
AS always,
Traugatt."

LIBRARY NOTES

Book Week this year has di-
rected our attention to the part
books are playing and will play
In reconstruction after the war.
This country is surely blessed in
the books which it has for it's
children and this year there
has been a deepening sense of
dedication in the work Of those
who write, produce, sell and
make books accessible to child
rem. All have felt United
Through Books.
Books have proved their place
in this war as a necessity for
those who fight the war as well
as for those on the home front.
Books will be seen 10 be equally
important in our provision for
the coming generation for whose
future the war is being waged.
During Book week over 725
enthusiastic children accompan-
led by their teachers, visited the
county library to see the many
beautiful new books that were
on display. Monday of this week
these books, over 100, were
placed in circulation.
New adult books will be re-
leased for circulation from time
to time during Sne next few
weeks. A resume of each will be
printed in this paper at the
time they are ready for distribu-
ton.
Several rural teachers visited
the library with their entire
schools, and a number of rural
teachers, unable to bring their
schools in, viewed the books on
display.

SCUI1IEDU1T. Air Force scuttle-
butt says that eight out of 10 of our
airmen take goodluck charms on
missions over enemy territory.
"Yank." to check the rumor, cabled
its correspondents at overseas air
bases to find out what was what.
The inquiring reporters Owed into
it, came up with these facts. Most of
our flying men do tote good-luck
charms. None of them want to be
labeled superstitious, but they lust
don't like to take chances:
An English kid gave a fife to tail
gunner who took it on every mission,
played 'Show Me The Way To Go
Home" before each take-off for Ger
many. At the same base, sergeant,
just before his first mission, couldn't
find his right flying boot. He was
frantic. At the last minute, someone
tossed him an English-type boot.
He's worn it ever since - for luck.
Then there's a Fortress pilot who
said he liked to harness horses. So he
put his gunner's Mae West on for him.
Now the gunner won't tempt fate by
getting into the ship unless his pilot
first tucks him into his life preserver.
SWORD PLAY. An old sword won
in a card game during a raid brings
luck to a top-turret gunner. And
waist gunner says he's no bug for
lucky charms, but admits he does
