DON'T MAIL PACKAGES
UNLESS YOU KNOW HE
WILL BE THERE

Thousands of packages are be-
ing hauled great distances over
seas to service men who won't
be there to receive them.
These men, hom'eward bound,
can't be bothered about undeliv-
cred parcels but the mail jam
will be tough on men remaining
overseas.
So the Navy postal authorities
make the following suggestions:
l. Don't mail packages to men
known to be returning home
within the next few months.
2. If man is definitely known to
be assigned to an occupation
force, play Santa and send him
package.
Inclusion of credit points for
overseas service has speeded up
the rehabilitation program and
prompted the Navy Mail Service
to adopt the following rules:
Letters and packages sent to
naval personnel returning to the
States for discharge, rehabilita-
ton leave or shore duty will be
returned to the sender unless the
serviceman has left a civilian for
warding address.
No mail will be forwarded to
Navy separation centers or re-
ceiving ships.

CRACKDOWN IN VIRGINIA
Greensboro, N. c., News)


Virginia, with little delay and
a minimum of political byplay,
has taken the sort of action in a
vote scandal which is calculated
to have highly effective results
and give serious pause to those
who in the future contemplate
resort to skulduggery in the Old
Dominion.
True, perpetrators of the fraud
ulent balloting in Wise county
and subsequent theft of the
county's poll books as the scan
dial broke wide open are yet to
be ferreted out, hailed into court
and punished. Whether a Virgin
ia grand jury will do any better
in this connection than North
Carolina inquisitorial body re-
Gently did remains to be SEEN
But the vigor of the action al
ready taken is more than has
been accomplished this side of
the border and gives reason for
belief that individuals respon-
sible for suffrage despolition and
officials who contributed thereto
either by indifference or derelic-
ton of duty may get what's com
ing to them, too.
Meanwhile it must be a consid
cradle shock and we'll nigh un-
believable to condoning polite
ians in Tarheelia that the Virgin
ia courts, into which the Wise
county scandal actually got,
threw out the entire vote cast in
that county with a subsequent
effect upon the state wide totals
such as to take the Democratic
lieutenant governors nomination
away from Charles R. Fenwick
and give it to his opponent, Lew
is Preston Collins. While that
vigorous and decisive action has
been taken to set corrupt politics
back on its heels in Virginia. it
remains virtually impossible ev-
en- to get election fraud cases in
to the courts in North Carolina.

were waiting to see the doctor.
Miss Westmore had already
handled some of the injured or
ailing animals, but there were
still many to be taken care of.
Here was a huge German shep-

here a mother cat, feverish and
miserable. AS Westmore attend

For many miles nothing was
