Fate of Indiana's War bond quota record best In the nation during three successive months of drives-hung in the balance today as early reports of sales through last Saturday indicated the state may fall short by 10 per cent, of its August goal. Meanwhile, hundreds of war savings staff chairmen and workers rolled up their sleeves for a whirlwind finish that Eugene C. Pulliam, ctate executive chairman, hoped would make up the investment lag and push the state "over the top" for the fourth successive month. "They didn't quit in the Solomons or at Dieppe.

Indiana can't quit for a minute or for a single month tuitil the war is won," Pulliam said. Bulletins went to all county chairmen urging last-minute "buy-an-extra-bond" drives in their territories based on the actual need for increased sales to meet the quota and on the fact that bonds purchased as late as Monday, August 31, bear interest as from August 1.

With a view to seeing that these articles reach these persons in good condition and on time, postmasters' throughout the country have been requested to bring to the attention of the public several requirements and suggestions. It is explained that for the purpose of these instructions Alaska is included in the term "outside the continental United States." The following suggestions are set forth in instructions sent out by the third assistant postmaster general: Time of Mailing. Christmas parcels and Christmas cards should be mailed during the period beginning October 1 and ending November 1, the earlier the better. Patrons should indorse each gift parcel "Christmas Parcel." Special effort will be made to effect delivery of all Christmas parcels mailed during that period in time for Christmas. Size and Weight.

In view of the urgent need for shipping space to transport materials directly essential to the war effort, Christmas parcels shall not exceed the present limits of eleven pounds in weight or eighteen inches in length or forty-two inches in length and girth combined. Nevertheless the public is urged by the war and navy departments to cooperate by voluntarily restricting the size of Christmas parcels to that of an ordinary shoe box. and the weight to six pounds.

Furthermore, as each parcel is subject to censorship, delay in handling may be minimized by securing the covering of the parcel so as to permit ready inspection of the contents. Many combination packages will probably be made up, including miscellaneous toilet articles, hard candies, soaps, etc.

Contents of such packages should be tightly packed, in order that the several articles may not be loosened in transit, damaging the contents of the parcel itself or causing damage to the covering of the parcel. Christmas boxes should be inclosed in substantial containers. Candies in thin pasteboard boxes should be inclosed in wood, metal or corrugated pasteboard. Sealed packages of candy, cigars, tobacco and toilet articles in simplest mercantile form may be inclosed within parcels without affecting the parcel-post classification of such packages. Sharp-pointed or sharp-edged instruments, such as razors, knives, must have their points or edges protected so they can not cut through their coverings and damage other mail or injure postal employes.

LOUIS, Aug. 26 (UP)-The Catholic hierarchy of the United States, England and Canada does not favor the enlistment of Catholic women in auxiliary corps of the army or navy, nor the employment of women with small children in war industries, Bishop Christian H. Winkelmann, Wichita, Kas, told the joint convention of the Catholic Central Verein of America and the Catholic Women's Union last night. Bishop Winkelmann protested war participation by women in which they donned uniforms and said It seemed to fit into a pattern and spirit of Communism and Naziism instead of into a Christian concept of life. "War is a man's Job, he asserted, "and we protest against the humiliating position of women in the ranks." INDIANAPOLIS MAN, 76, ENDS LIFE WITH SHOTGUN iiw.cuiuu.
