To Be Sure They
Are Received Send
Cards First Class
Postmaster J. Hardin Howell
today emphasized that your
cheerful Christmas greelinKS
won't come to Brief In the dead
letter office this year If your
Christmas cards are sent by first
class mail, which entitles them lo
both forwarding and directory
service.
"Each year we have to destroy
a larce number of beautiful
Christmas cards because they are
incorrectly addressed and carry
only third-class postage," the
Postmaster said. "Wc are sorry
to do it, because we know each of
these cards Is intended to convey
Christmas wishes lo a special
friend, who will be disappointed
and puzzled at not receiving a
card."
Postal regulations, of course,
are the explanation. They do not
require that more than one ef
fort be made to deliver third
class mail because it is being car
ried at a lower postal rate. So if
the address is wrong and there's
only a I' -: cent stamp on the en
velope, your carefully-selected
Christmas card Is carted back to
the Post Office and dumped un
ceremoniously into the dead let
ter bins.

The chairman, in announcing the
new members, states that the com
mittee. In cooperation with the
town boards of Waynesville and
Hazelwood. will work out details
of the recreation program, but that
the support of every person in the
communities will be required to
make it successful.
"You will have a recreation pro
gram, I promise you-Tbia is some
thing every community needs, We
can really have one worthwhile
w ith everyone's help," he said.
