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

aid black colonial subjects of France
In 1936 as Governor of Quadaloupe
le faced the riots of sugar workers
in the plantations. 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.
