GRANGER a TURKEY DINNER FOR THE ARMED FORCES ON THANKSGIVING Mining Industry Offers Every man and woman on duty the American armed forces, everywhere abroad and at home station, will have approximately one pound of turkey at dinner Thanksgiving Day, and will have all the traditional fixins.

PRIMARY FLIGHT TRAINING in IfeM n, . GASOLINE FOR THE ARMED FORCES The armed forces of the United States use gasoline more exten- sively 'than any other fighting service in the World. Use of gas-- , oljne to. power thousands of types of equipment, from blood plasma refrigerators to giant bombers and 6 (Mon tanks, has immensely simplified our supply problems. Gasoline , needs in this war are eighty Times greater than in" the last war. A' mechanized division whose gasoline supply fails s so much scrap iron. On the move, a motorized infantry division consumes 12,500 gallons per 100 miles. and Not only do tanks, mobile repair shops continually drink vast quantities of gasoline, but additional thousands of barrels dally are burned by tank trucks which bring the fuel up to the fighting line. As the battle extends, gasoline must . be made available at more and more points in as great quantities as possible to avoid the risk of defeat for lack of refueling. When our troops landed in North Africa, some 10,000 types of Signal corps equipment went ashore with them. Most of the equipment derived its electrical power from dynamos operated by gasoline end radio sendgines. ers and receivers took their long range and high voltage from gasoline generators mounted in trailers! Similar mobile generators furnished the power for field teledephones and for vices; the sound detectors which warn of the approach, of enemy aircraft;" the 800,000,000 candle-powsearchlights whose beams can spot raiders at heights up to 12,000 yards, and the automatically aimed guns that bring the enemy down. The engineers, with their bulldozers, trucks, rollers, and other gasoline-usin- g equipment, have rebuilt and paired highways as well as airfields. These complex and numerous field , operations are based on the use of a single all purpose gasoline, designed to operate equally well in the heaviest equipment and the most delicate. This gasoline cooks meals for the men in field hospitals and boils the water to sterilize the utensils. It washes and sterilizes their clothing, and provides them wth showers. v : half-truck- s, Truck-mounte- x V ;Si. anti-aircra- ft er . .

That is the only way ,to avoid disappointment on Christmas Day, nbt only for many civilians but Vlalso for millions of members of tlie armed forces who are still in this country. It is also, the only way to avoid the possibility of a Christmas emergency in the transportation and postal service. If the public will cooperate by mailing their Christmas parcels during November, we can handle a small volume of light, mailings, such as cards, 10 but we can do to December up that and avoid an emergency only if November is really Christmas Mailing Month. Postal officials pointed out that the volume of mail now. is far above .any previous,, records, that railway cars by the hundreds have been diverted to war service and that the air lines have only about half as many planes as they once operated.

To deliver the Christmas mails on time, therefore, it is necessary that mailings be spread out over a longer period so that available transportation equipment and postal personnel can be used during more weeks. It will be utterly impossible to make the deliveries by Christmas, if mailers wait until the last three weeks before the holiday, as in normal years. There is another reason for shopping and mailing earlier than ever Retail stores are ' before. Purchasers can avoid shopping in crowded stores, long waits for service, and other inconveniences of late shopping, if they buy now. They will also doubtless have a better choice of merchandise than will be available ' , later. Postmaster .General Walker, observed that, his warning is not an attempt Jo tell the public what to do; it is only an advance notification of what will happen if they mail late. He feels that the public is entitled to the facts, and that when they know them, they will decide to mail in November. short-hande- Relatives of who is with the the Pacific, have that he has been rank of captain.
