F. W. W. S. Appeals for Parents
To L!st Names by Tomorrow Night
With funds to provide Christmas remembrances to
nearly 1,000 men and women in the service, the Freeport
Women's War Service has been able to obtain a list of
addresses of only 200 serving overseas, Mrs. J. Harry Jen-kins,
the president, announced at the monthly meeting
Tuesday afternoon in the Legion dugout.
She added the postal author!-^'
ties had granted an extension o
time for the mailing of gifts, bu
there was no time for delay
Mrs. Jenkins would like to ob
tain 600 more names before to-morrow
(Friday) night, as the
F.W.W.S. has the funds with
which to provide the gifts. If
.relatives... of- men
seas will contact any member
of the group at headquarters, in
the Grove Theatre building, their
names will be added to the list
and remembrances will be sent
to all enrolled.
"tTfeT"milKaTeJ""except that the Over-
Weatherman got his signals
crossed and grounded the planes
that were to have added realism
to the bombing scenes. He pre-dicted
rain for about 8 o'clock,
whereas the moon came out
shortly thereafter, showing how
the weather sometimes fools mc-terologists.
From every point of view the
production was an education. It
showed that incendiary bombs
can be taken care of by the av-eiage
householder providing they
don't fall in showers, if he or
she will only go calmly about
the business with water or annd.
It also was demonstrated that it
is foolhardy to clutter up at-tics,
as untidy attics only pro-vide
fuel for fire, while if a
bomb falls in an almost empty
attic time can be taken before
the work of extinguishing it is
undertaken.
Aside from the din of explod-ing
bombs, perhaps the sensa-tion
of the evening was the dis-play
of flame throwers. Standing
at a distance of nearly 75 feet,
these bursts of flames ignited
wooden structures and the heat
from the flames was so intense
it could be felt in the stands.
They certainly showed them-selves
to be nasty weapons for
the enemy to encounter.

For Election Day
In all 6,111 Frccport citizens
qualified to vote at the election
on Tuesday, Nov. 2, during the
four days of registration which
closed on Saturday. This com-pares
with 7,85$ last year when
there was a governatorial elec-tion,
and a consequently greater
enrollment, and is almost the
same as for 1941 when the to-tal
was 6,285, or 174 more than
this. year.
However, since then nearly
2,000 Frceport men ana" women
have entered the various armed
fcrces. the WACs and nursing

for the decrease.
