Women Urged to

United States farmers hope to
produce, in 1945, ten billion pounds
OF fats and oils, according to re-
cent figures issued by the Depart
ment OF Agriculture. They have re-
Sponded valiantly to the govern
ment's plea to put more acreage in

and flaxseed-to help compensate
for the billion pounds of fats and

before Japan seized the islands in

Lumber Shortage
RunOrs False,
WPB Declares

Rumors of q possible shortage Of
lumber and building materials are
unfounded, the War Production
Board reported in letter to Will
hanson lumber dealers.
Asking that the lumber company
circulate the statement to other
branches of the industry and to
consumers, the WPB declared there
was no reason to become worried
about our own domestic supply.
Authorization of lumber or pre-
fabricated lumber items for Allied
use is an extremely small part of
our own supply, they wrote. For
purposes of dixie repair in Holland,
100000 board feet has been auth
orized. More than % million board
feet has been allocated for con-
struction of housing for workers at
French ports used by our forces.
Thirty thousand housing units
have been authorized for pre-fabri-
cation in this country TO be sent
to Great Britain to help alleviate
the acute lack of dwellings, since
one-third of English homes have
been destroyed.
In addition, about 30 million feet
Of lumber is to be sent to England
for repair Of bomb-damaged exist
ing structures. A total of 4,750.000
feet has been authorized for certain
previously occupied countries for
the repair of damage by evacuat-
ing Nazi armies.
All these items total less than
800 million feet or less than one
per cent Of total production.

Every facility in the Boston
Postal District, the greatest in
the nation, will be thrown open
next Saturday, Sept. is, to re-
ceive the thousands Of parcels to
be deposited on the opening day
of the 1g45 Overseas Christmas
Mail Month, according to Post
master Patrick ]. Connolly.
In view Of the fact that the
heavy volume Of mail will go to
the Pacific this year, which rep
resentS a distance almost three
times that of Europe, it is ex-
pected that the public will de-
post this mail IA earlier than
ever before.
The Postmaster outlined the
procedure to be followed in dis
patching this mail for the Pacif-
ic. All overseas parcels received
at Windows in any Of the post
offices in the 25 cities and towns
of Greater Boston will be dis
patched to the great South Pos
tai Annex at the South Station
In Boston. Thousands Of clerks
will then begin the distribution
for overseas shipment. Special
sacks are provided for Army Post
Ofices that have a large volume
of mail. Th"re NOV be hundreds
Of sacks of parcels for a single
APO. number. Smaller Army
Post Offices having a limited
number Of personnel are grouped
re-handling at a centralized dis
tribution point. In other words,
a smaller number Of parcels from
Greater Boston are received at
this centralized point along
with similar small shipments
from every other city and and
these are re-distributed to pro-
vide complete sacks for a given
location. Navy mail is handled
somewhat differently ard it is
expected that, due to the vast
increase in this branch of the
service. the volume Of parcels
this year will be greater than
ever.
The movement and delivery
Of millions of parcels overseas is
tremendously complicated. Con-
slider the fact that our men, OF
various divisions. are now locat-
ed on practically every island
serve to inform many other par-
ents or friends Of such military
personnel as supplied by the
Post ONCE Department:
aft relatives or friends have re-
and atoll in the entire Pacific
area and recently are installed
in Japan itself.
1t is to be expected that hun
6reds of thousands of American
military personnel will be in Eu-
rope this Christmas and in this
regard Postmaster Connolly has
received a great many inquiries
from parents Of these men ask
ing whether or not they should
send a Christmas box overseas
