Postage Same As 100 Years Ago “People sending Christmas cards today at the 5c first class rate pay the same to mail Christmas greet ings as Americans did well over a century ago/' Postmaster Harry Moose noted today. “Research shows that in 1847 the Post Office Department issued its first stamps, including a nickle stamp for the basic prepaid letter rate,” Postmaster Moose said. “And, of course, in those days a nickel could buy a meal where it usually can’t even buy a cup of coffee today,” Mr. Moose point ed out. “Since 1932,” the postal execu tive observed, “while living costs for the American family have sky rocketed considerably more than 100 per cent—the cost of mailing a first-class letter has only increas ed by 2 cents or two-thirds.” The Postmaster’s comments were made in connection with a recommendation to Newberry resi dents to use the first-class 5c Christmas stamp on their Christ mas cards. The stamp portrays the National Christmas Tree on the “Eastern Ellipse” in the Na tion’s Capital. The stamp is avail able at the local post office. The 5c rate permits forwarding or return of the letter when nec essary, allows the use of hand written message on the card—add ing a personal touch—and also provides speedier handling and faster delivery, particularly for cards going out of town. “In recent years, people have been buying better and more ex pensive greeting cards — and it seems a shame, when only 4c third class postage is paid and the addressee has moved that we normally can not even forward the card,” Mr. Moose commented. “It is poor economy to try to save a few pennies and lose several dol lars worth of cards.” “Reports from the greeting card industry indicate it is not un common for an average family to send more than 100 cards during the holiday season., “To avoid waiting in line, I sug gest you pick up your Christmas stamps now and then there is no last minute panic about getting stamps to put on cards to send to those who have been overlooked or added to the list.” ee<«;(c«tKtcte:4e«ctetct€«c«{c«tK«cte«e(««te««te%tc«te(c«ctstc«Kfe # ft 1 ft if if if if if if s# if if if af if if if if If if if if If g if § if If if s ft A ft % ft I ft It— *4 ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft Santa Replies To Zip Coders The Post Office Department is getting together with Santa Claus this year to make sure that chil dren who write to the North Pole get an answer from the best known citizen up there, Postmaster Harry Moose said today. “Part of the Post Office efforts to encourage a wider use of ZIP coded addresses assures children that they will receive a message from Santa Claus if they write to him at ‘North Pole 99701,’ and use th' ir own ZIP Codes in their re- t n addresses,” Mr. Moose ex- unined. I The enlistment of Mr. ZIP as Santa Claus’ newest helper became a familiar fact to children every where on Thanksgiving day when TV network viewers saw the fa miliar cartoon character in the traditional Macy’s Christmas pa rade in New York City, Postmas ter Moose pointed out. Santa’s reply to the children’s note, to be delivered free of any additional charge through the courtesy of the» Postal Service, will be a gaily-decorated card with an appropriate reply to please the children, the local postal head not ed. All that is required is the child’s note to Santa with regular 5c first class postage on the en velope, together with the ZIP-Code address and return address. “We are very pleased to make this service available to the chil dren for their big day,” Postmas ter Moose commented. “Actually, we in the Post Office have been Santa’s biggest helper for many years, and I think it is very ap propriate that we extend our lines of communications a little at Christmas for the youngsters.” ft ft ft ft I S ft DANIEL GREEN SLIPPERS MANHATTAN SHIRTS INTERWOVEN SOCKS STETSON HATS SPORT SHIRTS GRIFFON SUITS PAJAMAS LINEN HANDERCHIEFS .. and many other Gifts for Yuletide Giving G//T IVRAP AND DELIVER VISIT OUR UNIVERSITY SHOPPE FOR GIFTS THAT ARE SURE TO PLEASE. ttL ISng Summer, Jnr. Oty* lluiurrfittg Patrol Force On Full Duty All available highway patrol men have been assigned duty dur ing the Christmas holiday period in an effort to keep traffic acci dents and deaths at an absolute minimum, Chief Highway Com missioner S. N. Pearman has an nounced. Patrol officers have been in structed to remain on duty each night until midnight or later, and to place special emphasis upon enforcement of laws concerning reckless driving, excessive speed, driving under the influence of in toxicants and other hazardous violations. Full use will be made of radar equipment to enforce speed laws, and Patrol activity will be concentrated in those areas in which traffic is heaviest and vio lations are most numerous. Mr. Pearman strongly urged all drivers to do their part toward making the streets and highways safe during the holiday period. He reminded motorists that Christmas holidays are especially hazardous because of crowded highway condi tions, heavy traffic volumes and short days. The official recommended the following precautions for safe holiday travel: (1) Avoid driving after drinking alcoholic beverages in any amount. (2) Keep travel distances with in reasonable limits. Avoid trying to go too far and return within too short a time. (3) Obey all traffic laws to the letter, especially those pertaining to excessive speed and reckless ness. Adjust travel speed to suit weather, traffic and road condi tions. (4) Exercise special caution at all times while driving or walking in traffic. The use of common cour tesy and good judgment is an ef fective means of preventing acci dents.

Ray is one of the finest shots in the State, as well as being one of the smoothest shotgun handlers one will see. J. B. Nicholson from Anderson, broke 74x75, Wyman Cook and Doyle Long, both had 49x50, Roy Brandt and AI Cromer, 48x50, John Cantey shooting with a 410 guage, 44x50 and Billy Odell, 21x 25. T. L. Hicks, who has been shooting only a few weeks, broke 19x25 and is improving steadily. Also shooting were Harold Smaltz, Ross Sessoms and Robert Hawk ins. Last week’s score of Henry So well was inadvertently omitted from the list. “The Old Pro”, as Henry is called at the Skeet field, had 47x50. “Skeet shooting is the safest sport in the world, having never had a fatal accident since it was started some years ago,” said Doyle Long of the Newberry Gun Club. “You are not bothered about posted land, game wardens, bag limits—skeet has no limits.” Building Permits Bachman Chapel Lutheran Church, Prosperity, one eight- room brick veneer parsonage, $12,- 000.
