Last June, for example, there were complaints of delivery delays in the Metz area. Investigation showed that the magazines were arriving in Metz on schedule but were being sidetracked by faulty freight handling. With the help of the local Stars and Stripes men, this problem was soon ironed out. In another case, faster delivery to Germany was solved in Paris. Previously the magazines were shipped in bulk to Frankfurt, where mail is sorted for the U.S. zone. Perret arranged to have issues of TIME sacked and addressed in Paris for individual APO designations, thereby saving further handling and delay...

Said Dr. Carl C. Dauer in Public Health Reports: "Food stored promptly in an inexpensive icebox is less likely to spoil than food placed in the most elaborate refrigerator after a few hours' exposure at room temperature...
