Mail Christmas Gifts Now Is Warning Given By Juneau Postmaster A dast warning is given to mail Christmas gifts now, this month, to prevent a pile-up of deliveries dur- ing the rush days of December. Acting Postmaster Lillian Mill early mailing will insure delivery ahead of the Yuletide and it is ad- vised that packages so mailed can be marked “Do not open until Christmas.” Early mailing will re- lieve the transportation lines of the | usual jam during the last one or two wecks before Christmas. Late mailing will test the facilities of transportation and there will be hundreds of gifts that will go un- delivered and result in disappoint- ment both for civilians and for members of the armed forces who are still in this country Another suggestion is made—send holiday greetings at the first rate of postage. Such greetings are dispatched and delivered first, and if necessary, forwarded without any additional charge, also if undelivered, they are returned without charge provided the sender’s return card is shown on the envelope. Greetings mailed at the third class rate are not entitled to free forwarding priv- | ileges and consequently, the senders in many cases never know that the greetings were not received by the addressees. Anyway, mail now, this month and you are certain your gifts and greet- ings will be delivered. — - The Students and Faculty JUNEAU HIGH SCHOOL TURKEYNEAR OPEN BREAK WITH REICH By WILLIAM B.

In God’s name, what is it for except to fifl this horrible thing over with as quickly and as thor- oughly as possible? ~And if this is true, it should not be a matter of ‘Who will lend his money?’ but ‘Who dares not to?’ ” BUY MORE WAR BONDS anding barges to a beach . and claw their way into o hostile coast.” (Sicily) 1o get this horrible thing ove This advertisement is a contribution to America’s all-ont war effort by Libby, McNeill and Libby
