THE DAILY NEWS TUESDAY "Wrap it well and mall it early," is the advice Df the Fleet Mail Office to Canadians sending Christmas parcels to men and women serving in the Royal Canadian Navy at home stations, at sea or abroad. Last year more than half a million Christmas parcels were handled. One of the chief headaches Is poorly wrapped panels which collapse .before they reach their destination. Here Donald Giles, 15-year-old Sea Cadet, employed as a messenger at the Fleet Mail Office in Halifax, checks out a bundle Df re wrapped parcels with Wren Lillian Paxton, of Port Arthur, Ont. The Fleet Mail Office ad ises the use of togh wrapping paper and strong string and warns against mailing any:hing packed in glass-, such as peanut butter of preserves. The latest mailing dates at which parcels can be sent with any hope of reaching troops by Christmas are as follows October 5: Middle East Area Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Syria, etc.; October 10: Central Mediterranean Area; October 25: United Kingdom and France.

Normally this echelon would be with main headquarters but th road was narrow and choked with traffic this day and you could get so many vehicles up and no more. Main headquarters was in n house beside a dusty road. There were the second-ln-coinmand, Maj. Storme Galloway, Aylmer. Ont., the head of the headquar ters company, Maj. F. O. C.

WANTS BOOKS FOR SCHOOLS Principal Takes P.-T.A. Appeal Direct To City Council A display of instruction books for school children decorated the reporter's table ln the city council chamber last night as S. A Cheeseman, principal Borden Street School, appealed to Coun- 'cil on behalf of the Parent- i Teachers' Association for a dona- ! tlon to help purchase additional modern reference books for city schools. Modern teaching methods re quire modern tools and our tools are books," Mr. Cheeseman de ciared. He added that the pres 'ent textbooks prescribed by the department are not ln line with the modern trend. I "The Department is working on a revision of the list of books for official use in schools but It may be a year or two before it is complete." Last year the P.T.A. raised over $500 for purchase of books and sports equipment in city schools, and this year they hav set their goal as $1,000. 1 The absence 'of a library at the new Conrad Street School has Increased the demand for funds, Mr. Cheeseman said. ' , "Has the School Board been approached for a donation?" Alderman Hills asked as he and other members gathered arouna the book laden table. I Mr. Cheeseman did not know if the Board had been asked for a donation. j "Even though the money all , comes from the same source 1 ' do not see why bath the Council 'and the Board should be asked Matter Before Chamber to give," the alderman com. of Commerce Special minted. r xt -.1 The matter was referred to the oMuuiuee mwneu flnance commlttec for consldera-' A special committee of the tlon.
