arc saying about Boyce House's
new book, "How I Took Holly-
wood by Storm," a Southwest-
ern best seller which is based
on his observations while help-
ing make the big moving pic-
ture, "Boom Town."
House, of Fort Worth, is
known to hundreds of thousands
through his Sunday radio pro-
grams and his column "I Give
You Texas." "How I Took Hol-
lywood by Storm" is pocket size,
sturdily bound, sells for half a
dollar, illustrated, and is just
the thing for a Christmas gift
for young or old and it would
give a lot of chuckles to a Texas
soldier off in camp somewhere,
too.

The bulk of Christmas mail
must be in the post offices by
December 1 this year if deliver-
ies on time are to be assured,
according to Smith W. Purdum,
Second Assistant Postmaster
General. Mr. Purdum is respon-
sible to Postmaster General
Frank C. Walker for smooth
and efficient air and railway
mail service.
Unprecedented wartime de-
mands on the postal and trans-
portation systems, plus a pros-
pective record volume of Christ-
mas mailings, were cited by Mr.
Purdum as necessitating earlier
mailings than ever before. "It
is physically impossible for the
railroads and air lines, burdened
with vitally important war ma-
terials, to handle Christinas
mailings as rapidly as in nor-
mal times," Mr. Purdum said.
"If the bulk of parcels and
greeting cards are held back
until the usual time—the period
of about December 15 to 23—
they simply cannot be distrib-
uted in time, and thousands of
gifts will reach their destina-
tions after Christmas."
In 1941, about 21,950 mail cars
were required between Decem-
ber 12 and 24 to deliver Christ-
mas mails — enough cars to
make a train 270 miles long.
This year, the extra cars need-
ed to move holiday mails are
largely being used by the armed
services, and a severe shortage
is in prospect.
The postal service usually
borrows about 2,500 trucks from
the Army and other Govern-
ment agencies, and rents about
10.000 from private owners, to
handle the Christmas mails.
This year, it will be extremely
difficult to obtain enough of
these vehicles to meet even a
substantial part of the need.
The Army needs its own trucks
and private owners are reluct-
ant to let someone else use their
tires.
Railroads are cooperating by
converting some hundreds of
steel box cars and similar equip-
ment 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 deliv-
eries of gifts on time unless the
public cooperates by mailing
early and thus spreading the
transportation load over a long-
er 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
1 and from soldiers, sailors and
i marines throughout the world.
This extraordinary job must be
kept current, even while the
, holiday rush of mailings is
[handled. Also, he pointed out,
j the postal establishment is op-
erating with many thousands of
* inexperienced personnel, em-
ployed to take the place of men
I balled to the armed services.
The new employees naturally
cannot handle the holiday mail
jam with the smoothness and
speed of the postal vererans
whom they replace.
In view of all these handicaps
to the service, Mr. Purdum add-
ed, postal patrons should mail
their gifts by December 1 if
they wish to insure that their
friends will not be disappointed
at Christmas.

Gov. Stevenson
College Station — Governor
Coke Stevenson, chairman of
the National Defense Committee
for Texas has requested the A.
and M. College Extension Ser-
vice to use the "human chain
system of communcation" in
informing the state's rural fam-
ilies about the government's
Share-the-Meat campaign, ac-
cording to Extension Director H.
H. Wililamson.
In this movement thp Exten-
sion Service and the community
and neighborhood Victory lead-
ers will cooperate with the OCD
and State and county nutrition
committees, Director Williamson
I said.
j Briefly, the Share-the-Meat
j program is a campaign for vol-
untarily dividing fairly the pork
; beef, veal, lamb and mutton
which is available for civilians
' after the needs of the armed
j services and lend-lease commit-
ments have been met. The
i "sharing allowance" of two and
one-half pounds per adult per
week includes only the muscle
j meats, not fish, poultry, and the
"variety meats" such as hearts,
kidneys, livers, sweet breads,
' and the like.
| Since October 1, Director Wil-
liamson explains, deliveries of
."muscle meats" for civilian con-
! sumption have been reduced
| considerably. That means home
makers who cannot shop early
and "diners-out" who get to
restaurants late in the meal,
1 may not be able to get their
'share of meat. "Although fami-
' lies who are heavy meat eaters
' are asked to limit their con-
' sumption, no one expects a per-
'son now eating less than two
'and cne-half pounds to cut his
■ consumption. Instead, he should
eat his allowable for the sake
of good health," Director Wil-
liamson says.
! During the week November
30-Dec. 6, community and neigh
. borhood leaders will conduct
' the face to face campaign
'among farm families and in
villages of less than 2,500 popu-
lation. OCD block leaders will
j explain the program to families
in towns and cities.

for specialized war industry
job training.
Pointing out that most of the
war industry jobs are entirely
new in this part of the country
and that therefore few ex-
perienced workers can be found,
Mr. Edwards said that free war
effort training schools have
been established by the state
and federal governments for
the purpose of providing the
necessary training. More than
eighty percent of the jobs al-
ready filled in war industry
plants, he asserted, have been
taken by people who prepared
themselves by attending these
schools.
"There is and will continue
to be a heavy demand for wom-
en as well as men in many
types of jobs. All local men and
women who wish to serve their
country and at the same time
earn good wages should enroll
in these training schools and
secure the knowledge necessary
to perform on these jobs," Mr.
Edwards said.
Courses are open to men be-
tween the ages of 18 and 65
years, and to women between the
ages of 18 and 45. The demand
for women workers is increas-
ing.
Mr. Edwards stressed the fact
that the training is provided
by the government without cost
to the trainee other than that
he must support himself during
the six to eight week training
period. Even this is not true in
all cases, since many younger
trainees can be assigned to the
National Youth Administration
war work centers where they
will be boarded and paid a
small wage while obtaining
work experience.
Most of the schools are op-
erated on a twenty-four hour
basis so that all equipment can
be used constantly, and to pro-
vide training around the clock
for trainees who must work
while going to school.

Bccause of a Curious Boy
Another idol cf history is knocked
from his pedestal. In his place
stands a curious boy.
Although Galiieo has long been
named in the history books as the
inventor of the telescope, which
opened the path to our knowledge
of the universe, recent researches
indicate that the tclescope actually
was discovered by a curious boy.
It is saicf that the children of a
Dutch spectacle maker, Hans Lip-
pershey, were playing with some old
spectacle lenses, all of which then
were made circular, and one of the
boys held up a combination of lenses
before his eyes nnd was delighted
to find that distant trees appeared
to be close at hand. Lippershey
made many experiments in 1608, and
in the foilowing year Galileo so im-
proved upon Lippcrshey's telescope
that he was able to see the moun-
tains of the moon.
