With this thought in mind an im- mediate effort is being made to make more home news—newspapers and magazines—available to the Forces Overseas. With the advent of peace in Europe it has now been possible to relax to some degree the res- trictions which permitted the send- ing of "clippings" only instead of complete newspapers and magazines. Today the Acting Postmaster General is glad to announce that henceforth, the restrictions on the mailing of news has been eased inso- far as the. Overseas Anted Forces are concerned and it is now per- missible to send "news" daily.or weekly ne s aexs, magazines or other l;criodit:als to members of the Armed Forces Overseas. Gummed wrappers, Bandy for mailing a news- paper, are on sale at all Post Offices. The lifting of restri tons will, undoubtedly, be apprcci ted by the A:clive: Service men ard:women Over- seas 'eagerly wailing news from home.
