PAGE FOUR Mail Gifts By December 1, Officials Urge — Continued From Page One — ‘ even a substantial part need. The Army needs its own tracks and private owners are reluctant to let someone else use

their tires.

Railroads are cooperating by converting some hundreds of steel box cars and similar equipment for mail transportation, and Joseph B. Eastman, director of Defense Transportation, has ordered that unnecessary travel be curtailed to the limit during the holiday season. But these measures cannot assure deliveries of gifts on time antes? the public cooperates by mailing early and thus spreading the transportation load over a longer period than usual. Mr. Purdum called attention to the task of the Post Office Department in moving millions of pieces of mail every day to and from soldiers, sailors apd marines throughout the world. This extraordinary job must be kept current, even while the holiday rush of mailings is handled. Also, he pointed out, the postal establishment is operating with many thousands of inexperienced personnel, employed to take the place of men called to the armed services. The new employees naturally cannot handle the holiday mail jam with the smoothness and speed of the postal veterans whom they replace.

There may be STANDING ROOM ONLY on trains THESE 5 DAYS

Our Country being at war, “travel as usual" is out for the duratioa So the fine old American custom of traveling home in comfort for Thanksgiving now becomes another “war casualty." For there just are not enough cars to carry troops and, at the same time, provide the travel comforts to which you have been accustomed during holidays ip peace times. Under the dreamstanccs, if you make a train trip this year, please understand

that there may not be seats available. Soldiers and sailors fortunate enough to get a few days leave to be with their families will probably be traveling in substantial numbers. We are sorry it is necessary to warn you that conditions will not be what you are accustomed to, but military transportation needs come first With the equipment remaining for civiliap use, we shall strive to do our best to serve the public
