Recent changes in instruction for

to their relatives, Mrs. Fred Whit
comb, Chairman of the local Red
Cross prisoners of war committee,
announced.
New rulings tor addressing prison
ers held by Japan are as follows:—If
the prisoner’s camp address is known
mail should be addressed directly to
the individual prisoner in the partic
ular camp, via New York City. If
the camp address is unknown, mail
should be addressed to the prisoner in

TO WHOEVER WROTE THIS:
The message below was received in the mail with
out any signature or other identification. But who
ever wrote it has expressed in plain, understandable
language, the reasons Omaha citizens are anxious
to keep Nebraska Power Company as it is. We
extend our thanks to the author.
The success and progress of every business enterprise
is dueAto the Exceptional fitness and efficiency of
its executives. The reason men rise to such leader-'.,
ship is their possession of outstanding ability,
energy, experience and power to inspire fellow workers.
The Nebraska Power Company offers indisputable proof
of these facts. But when politics enter into the
conduct of any business, these vital items are ignored
and the relation between buyer and seller is ignored.
The record of the Nebraska Power Company for over
23 years past beats a thousand distorted promises
coming from any source.
We wrote in the words "in large measure" because
we are fully aware that it takes the combined
effort and skill of all of our Company's employees
— as well as efficient management — to provide
dependable electric service at low cost.

initials of his service should precede
the address. The communication
should also be marked “United Stat
es Prisoner of War.”
The Red Cross has also been in
structed that persons wishing to send
a legal document, such as a power of
attorney or will, to a prisoner held
by either Germany or Japan should
correspond with the War Department
Office of the Provost General, con
cerning the safeest and most expedi
tious method of transmission.
Mrs. Whitcomb said that her com
mittee has been informed that Amer
ican officers in German camps are
permitted to write three letters and
four post cards a month; non-com
missioned officers and enlisted men
may write two letters and four cards
a month. Sanitary personnel and
Chaplains may write twice as many
letters and cards a month as their
corresponding ranks in the services
are permitted to write.
Mrs. Whitcomb pointed out, that
because activities in the European
theatre are increasing and railroad
centers are frequently targets for
bombing, it is reasonable to expect
that communications between prison
ers and their famflfes will be disrupt
ed.
Detailed information regarding
mail and packages for war prisoners
may be obtained at the Douglas

fore the Council that rural churches
take a more active part in encourag

“The soil building program of the

a long way toward assuring econom
