TAVERN - 2229 LAKE— formerly Rabes Buffett BEER & LIQUORS j : “Always A Place to Park’” \ I ARMY-NAVY POSTAL ; j EMPLOYES PREPARE FOR 11 THEIR BIGGEST JOB Fou Can Help Greatly BY Mail ing Your Christmas Parcels to Services Men, Women on Time 1 Approximately 33,000 uniformed 1 men and women in the Army and Navy postal services are preparing 1 for their biggest job . that of mov ing an estimated 70,000.000 packages of Christmas presents (three times as many as last year) to the military ' men and women overseas, the Office of War Information reported today on the basis of data obtained from the Army and Navy. Army postal officers are preparing their organization to move about . twice as many Christmas parcels as were handled in 1943, when 20,000, 000 holiday packages were sent over seas. TheThe Navy' Mail Service ex pects nearly four times the volume of gifts handled in 1943 through fleet postoffices in New York and San Francisco. A total of 7,480,000 pack ages went through the fleet post offic es last year, 3,480,000 of them to ad , vanced bases or ships at sea and 4, 000,000 to ships putting in at Amer ican ports, the Navy reported. Both Army and Navy said that this year more facilities have been estab lished all over the world to assure prompt delivery of properly wrapped | and properly addressed packages to I service men and women overseas on or before Christmas Day. That’s why “Christmas Mailing Month” has been set for September 15 to October 15. Parcels mailed during that per iod, officers said, should reach each soldier or sailor, wherever he may be, by Christmas Day, provided the sen ders take a few simple precautions. Packages should weigh not more than five pounds and have combined dimensions of not more than 36 inch es. Be sure to address packages plainly' and correctly, the Army and Navy officers said. Don’t use labels that in handling, may come off. Put an extra address inside. Don’t send perishables and, above all, don't try to put edibles such as fruit cakes or cookies in the same box with wrist watches, pocket knives or other dur able gifts soldiers appreciate. If th? edibles spoil they may destroy the en tire contents of the box. The only packages that were late in arriving or not delivered at all last year were those incorrectly addressed, wrapped or improperly packaged. FELIX EBOUE.THE MAN WHO SAVED FRANCE (Continued from pagfe 1) would have been a victim of Hitler. It was the grim days of the summer of 19-10 when Rommel was sweeping across North Africa. The Allied cause was standing before the abyss. Who was this black man of whose death General Charles de Gaulle him self wrote: “The Mother Country, the State, the Empire are plunged into mourning for Felix Eboue... Every Frenchman knows and will remember that Felix Eboue, by keeping the territory of the Chad, of which he was Governor in the war during the worst moment of our history halted the spirit of , surrender . . .Felix Eboue, great I j French African, has died in the high j accomplishment of his duty. But he | has taken his place in the very spirit of France.” F Felix Eboue was not a native of j Africa. He was born in, French,! Guiana, in Cayenne, on the northern end of South America. He did not come up from poverty. His father was a well-to-do plantation owner. This was the world of the assimilated elite Negro citizens Of France-as distinguished from the illiterate Ne gro subjects—the world of gentlemen whose loyalties are more French than Negro. A gentleman’s son must follow the footsteps of a gentleman. That is traditional. Only aris can supply the proper environment. So the boy of nine is sent to the capital of France. There he becomes a brilliant student at the Lyceum, a popular athlete, cap tain of the college football team. The tastes of the man of leisure— the good, and the bad—develop and f multiply: a capacity for literature and music, philosophy, languages, cards, food, wine, witty conversation, grac ious company. He knew the French poets, centur ies of them, chapter and verse, by memory. He had a magnificent sing ing voice. (Years later, traveling the African veldt by car and horseback, up the ancient jungle-tangled Congo by crude river boat, tired of conver sation, he often entertained himself and his staff by singing entire operas, all the parts, complete. Manon Les caut was his afvorite when there was the comparative comfort of the car. Up the river he preferred the more turbulent Faust.) j . ' Not belonging to that great mass of illiterate Negro subjects burdened with onerous taxes, low wages, milit ary conscription and the forced labot that bedevils the colonial subjects of all great powers, he might have had a professional chair at the Sorbonne, or a seat in the Chamber of Deputies Or he might have returned to the easy indolent life of a Guiana Planta tion. But he transcended his background. The great distinction of Felix Eboue lies in the fact that he dedicated him self—despite this—to improving the conditions of the masses of Negroes— the ill-nourished, overtaxed, under-1 ALL-AMERICAN ATTACK . .

Men were hun gry, often earning 20' cents a day. □ver the opposition of plantation own ;rs he raised wages to one dollar a lay. French colonial policy suppressed the native language in Africa, insist ng that all intercourse with natives le in the French language. For 22 years Eboue overlooked this regulat ion, mastered the native idiom, and compiled dictionaries for three of hem. In , 1940 this knowledge served France well. Going personally to the native chiefs, who already knew and trusted him, he was able to win their ready support in the revolt against Vichy. Throughout these years his culti vated wife, Eugenie Tell Eboue stood firmly at his side. Like her husband, Mrs. Eboue was born in Cayenne, French uiana. Like him, she comes, is the French say “of good family.” Her father was director of the State Penitentiary at Cayenne. Her train ing and experience, as an educator, is reflected in many of the reforms Felix Eboue initiated in his adminis trative career. Her position as First Lady of the beautiful Governor’s man sion, which the Eboues occupied from November 1940 when de Gaulle nam ed Eboue Governor General of French Equatorial Africa, made her hostess to the leading statesmen of two hem ispheres. Despite this, since the out break of the war, she has completed training as a nurse and works at the splendid modern hospital the Free French established at Brazzaville. A few weeks before Governor Gen eral Eboue died at a hospital in Cairo, Egypt, he had succeeded in having his policies of native advancement, edu cation and participation in administra tion incorporated into official French colonial policy in the conference of Brazzaville, convened by General Charles de Gaulle in February 1944. His secretary, Monsieur Jean de La Roche, insists “Mr. Eboue was a man with a mision.” He achieved two missions—the salvation of France and a policy of liberation of the French colonial peoples of Africa.
