,VOL. XXVIII
Urge Use of
V-Mail Service
To Boys Abroad
Quicker service is
promised . Where
conditions permit
The Post, Ofﬁce Department an
nounced today that the V-Mai-l Ser
vice, inaugurated on June 15, 1942,
is now rpastrthe expuﬁnental stage,
with cash week showing large in
creases in the number at letters
mailed to American soldiers ovef
seas.
The War Department has increas
ed its facilities to handle promptly
the volume expected in the future.
Facilities for phobographing and
reproducting V-Mail to and from the
United States and the British Isles,
Australia, 'lndia, Hawaii and other
points are now in operation. A simi
lar service is fbeing planned for Ice
land and other points where the vol
ume may warrant. ‘
Pointing out that V-Mail provides}
a safe means of communication with
members of the Armed Forces, iihe
Post Office Department gave as
surance that the Ifilm (upon which
the communications are reproduced)
.are given the most expediorus dis-
Eepatch available. Because of the
small space taken up by the rolls of
tfilm,theyoftencanubecarriedon
[ferry planes or bombers.
I (Every pound or weight which can
'be saved on air transports overseas,
said the Department, means that an
equivalent amount of weight can be
allocated vital military material. -
In recognition of this, and in an
effont to insure delivery of mail to
as many men as possible at overseas
destinations when space is limited,
the” War and Navy Departments]
have directed that V-Mall be given
priority in dispatch over all other
classes—meluding air mail—when
transportation facilities under con
trol of 3mm departments are .used.
V-Man letter sheets have been
dismobu'ted at all post ofﬁces; and
have been provided all military and
naval persmmel at overseas points
through Army and Navy post edifices
and military channels. ‘
'V-Mail letters are photographed
on micro-Imm by whomaﬂc mach
ines at the rate of 2.000 to 2,500 per
hour and the mm rolls containing
1,500 letters each we transmitted ~bo
)desttnations. Reproductions are
" then made 'by other autmnatic ma.-
chinec and delivered to the add-rm
pm individual sealed window penalty
envelopes. “ _ _
} When V-Meil letters are addressed
it‘o places «where micro-111m equip
ment is’ not in operation, the letters
are transmitted to destination in
origmal dorm by the most expeditious
uneans available. Even in these in;-
stances; savings in weigh-band space
are aceomplidhed since there are ap
pmxjmaeely 97 V-Mai-l letters in a.‘
pound, whereas; ordinary letters an

Stevens Says '
Medical Attention
Will Be Ample '
Leaves this week to
assume active work
with armed forces ,
Kennewick dtizens will not 'be left
without adequate medical care, Dr.
M. W. Stevens asured members oi"
’lbhe chamber of commerce this noon.
Dr. Stevens leaves Saturday of this
’week to don his army unifomn.'l‘em

IGemge Wright in Spokane, he re-:
ported with prospect of mm new:
activity in the near meme. 1
‘Dr.Sbevenssaidthatﬂmwll-l‘
be six doctors in the area, including‘
those stationed at the airpont. These
men will give medical attention, he
said, Ibo theenlisted men as well as
their rintensities, thus relieving iihe
civilian doctors of more or less of
their present work.
In his “swan song” as he called it,
Dr. Stevens said ﬂint he had found
three of his preconceived opinions
concerning the life or a. country doc
tor wrong. The first one, that rural
people tailed to .pay their doctors
proved to be 100 percent. wrong, he
said. Furuher mat appreciation for
services and cooperation of patients
and iiheir families were both out
standing rather than his experience
of a total "lack of Mll in the crowd
ed hospitals of the East. . I
He said that he hbped rho. return
to Kennewick after the war and
would ask nothing better than to
resume 'his place in the community.
