Indications are that the volume of Christmas mail will be the largest on record. Already in September, latest month for which figures are available, retail sales had reached a level second only to the record month of December, 1941, according to the Department of Commerce. And sales are rising.' Such heavy purchases always presage heavy mailings. If thousands of our soldiers, sailors; marines and civilian friends are not to be disappointed at Christmas time, .the public must cooperate by mailing earlier than ever before and by addressing letters and parcels properly. The best effrrts of the Post Office Department alone cannot be enough, in view of wartime difficulties faced by the postal system. The public must assist. About 25,000 experienced postal woiikers already have been taken by the war services.

Bell was taken from the side of the Randolph Garage about six oclock. When Mr. Bell went to put his car in after work, he was surprised to find it had been driven away. His car was located up a canyon road in Otter Creek, the thieves not being too well acquainted with this part of the country had got on the wrong road. It is thought that they thought they were taking the cut-oroad to Lake-towBen Groll who was in the canyon seen the car with the two fellows In it. - They, said they were just setting in it to keep warm, but the car was stalled in a wash.

Expansion of those forces also is adding rapidly to the postal burden.

That is the mandate the federal government has issued to the state defense councils of the nation. That means that families must limit themselves to two and pounds of beef, veal, lamb, mutton and pork, including canned meats and sausages, for each person in the family over 12 years of age. Additional allowances of one and pounds will be allowed for each child from 6 to 12 years, and pounds for each child under 6 years of age. Poultry, fish and variety meats, such as kidney, liver, brains, sweet breads, tongue and wild meats, such as venison, rabbit, and wild1 fowl, do not need to be counted in the two and pounds. They may be used freely. Before November 30th every county in the state will be visited by field representatives and nutrition experts of the Utah Council of Defense. Nutrition groups will be formed in each county. During the week of November 30th to December 5th, every home in the state will be visited, and housewives will be given a list of meats which are rationed and those which are not, will receive suggestions for substitutes that have the same food value as the rationed meats, and wil be given instructions for preparing substitute meals. Until ration cards are" available in January, rationing will be voluntary. Housewives will toe placed on their honor. They arq not expected to use all meat that is available only their proper share In farm and livestock sections raitining must be observed just as in the city, even though the meat was grown on the property on which it be consumed. All extra meat must go to the armed forces. This is the first time in this war that a necessity has been rationed, according to Gus P. Backman, Executive Vice Chairman of the Utah Council of Defense. Tires, rubber, automobiles and gasoline have toeen classed as luxuries. The rationing of other foodstuffs will probably take place early next year. This is the supreme effort of the entire nation, which is needed for successful prosecution of the war, according to Mr. Backman, and the government expects every family to do ts part so the stem measures of rationing used in Europe will not be necessary here. one-ha- lf 4-- F l 30 one-ha- lf , 'v In Advance MEAT RATIONING Application - ( Randolph Utah.
