Scriptsing of the program already has amounted to more than 5,00O,000 words, or the equivalent of 54 new length books.

 Returning from the war, Tru- man married Bess Wallace and through a partnership arrange ment opened hat shop at Twelfth Street and Baltimore Ave- nue in Kansas City. The business went well for several years. Then fi- nancial reverses induced by 8 de- pression caused the business to fail.
 Truman's political opponents are wont to drag out this business fail ure and cite it to prove Truman's ineptness at finance. On the other hand, Truman's friends see the fail ure as lesson that has made Tru- man doubly cautious as he ap- breaches the use of public funds.
 Now almost forgotten is the fact that Truman's first political

 Edgar G. Hinde, postmaster at 1n- dependence who entered the army with Truman, explained recently how Truman got into uniform with weak eyes.
 Harry had to pull fast one to do it," Hinde said. "He knew he never could pass the physical exam ination on account of his eyes, so we just got an obliging sergeant to whisper the letters to him so he could read the chart perfectly as he was tested He passed that eXamina- ton with 20-20 vision.

Post Office Issues Rules
Regarding Overseas Packages
War Production Board Recently Approves
Manufacture of New Size for Containers

Although notices in the postoffice
have called attention to the need
for properly packing packages to
our members of the armed forces
that are serving overseas, many
thousands Of packages arrive at
their embarkation point in a dam
aged condition. This results in COM
plants and also in the fact that
large force of employees must be
kept to repack these parcels so that
they may arrive safely at their deS-
tination.
Boxes that are used in the trans
mission of packages to the armed
forces should be stronger than
those used in the shipping of par
GELS to men in this country. Be-
cause of the great distance, hand
ling and the storage, they must
absolutely be packed in boxes of
metal, fiberwood or strong double
faced corrugated fiberboard.
Each box should be securely tied
with a strong cord, preferably by
four separate pieces, two length
wise and two crosswise, knotted at
the crossings. Sealing flaps with
gummed tape where they meet
strengthens the box but the use Of
the tape alone is not satisfactory
since the tape looSens if the boxes
become wet or exposed to moist
Boxes should contain sufficient
material so that the
contents will be tightly packed to
prevent any rafting or loosening
Of the articles within the packages.
UuleSs completely packed and
tightly filled, boxes are apt to be
crushed.
The War Production Board has
the manufacture of boxes
approximately 10 by 6 by inches
in size which will be of greater
strength and will permit more COM
pact packing within the five pound
limit than the containers previously
