The i trousers, abandoned in a looted! grocery store, provided the clue which enabled police to identify ar.d arrest Powers after tracing I him ty Jdemphis, Tenn. Postmaster Enos R. Boyd today urged the citizens of Waynesville to shop early and mail early this ! Christmas season to facilitate the processing of the largest Christ mas mailing in the history of the Waynesville post office. To put off mailing Christmas cards and parcels until the last moment results in an extra t)urd en placed on the postal employees and on the postal facilities of the Waynesville post office, Mr, Boyd pointed out. Every facility will be pressed in to maximum service so that again this year, as in the past, the Way nesville post office ^ill be clear j ed, if possible, of all Christmas mail by Christmas. "There are still some people j who retain the mistaken- idea that ! a gift or card arriving on Christ inas Eve has a special signifi cance," Postmaster Boyd said. "It is the thought behind the gift or card, not the time of arrival which is the important consideration." In an appeal to all the citizens of Waynesville. the Postmaster prais ed the fine cooperation of past years w hen record mail loads were processed and delivered and asked that this same cooperation be again in evidence this year. "By following the simple sug gestions of mailing early, wrapping ' carefully and addressing plainly, the citizens of Waynesville will be j assured of the safe and timely ar ; rival of their Christmas mail," Postmaster Boyd added.

We are hear ing a great deal about Senate Rule 22 as time approaches for the con vening of Congress on January- 3. RULE XXII The standing rules of the Senate of the United States clearly state the precedence of motions. Not withstanding the provisions as stated in the standing rules, "at any time a motion signed by six teen Senators, to bring to a close the debate upon any measure, mo tion, or other matter pending be fore the Senate, or the unfinished business, is presented to the Sen ate. the Presiding Officer shall at once slate the motion to the Sen ate. and one hour after the Senate meets on the following calendar day but one, he shall lay the mo tion before the Senate and direct that the Secretary call the roll, and, upon the ascertainment that a quorum is present, the Presiding Officer shall, without debate, sub mit to the Senate by A vea-and-nay vote the question: " Is it the sense of the Senate that the debate shall be brought to a close?' "And if that question shall be decided in the affirmative by two thirds of the Senators duly chosen and sworn, then said measure, motion, or other matter pending before the Senate, or the unfinish ed business, shall be the unfinish ed business to the exclusion of all other business until disposed of." WHAT THIS MEANS As Hule 22 now stands, as stat ed above, it requires two-thirds of the Senators to choke off debate If the rule is changed it will mean that a simple majority vote can bring debate to a close. What does this mean? Returning to the language of the Senate rules. "Thereafter 110 Sen ator shall be entitled to speak in all more than one hour on the measure, motion, or other matter pending before tbe Senate, or the unfinished bus.lne.ss. the araend ineilts thereto, and motions affect ing the same, etc." SENATE STABILITY 11 has been recognized that the Senate of the United States is a continuing body. This is so be cause each Congress elects only one-third of the Senators. You will remember that a Senator's full term of office is six years and that a Congress lasts for two years, divided into a first and second session Stability of the Senate is there by assured. A previous heritage of unlimited debate in the Senate is now again threatened. The pro ponents of drastic revision direct their attacks against the South as this is a Simple line and is well received by some people who do not wish to think. They do so with out blinking an eye as to the times when they liave been in a majority and used the vehicle of unlimited debate to call to the attention of the country aspects of legislation that should have thorough and careful debate ? IMPORTANT MATTER This is an important matter and Worthy of our most careful con sideration. MAJOR DANIEL I.. SCHMl'CK KK. miii of (ieurse H. Schmueker, Route 1. Waynesville, is now serving as deputy chief of the planning data liraneh at the Air Force Special Weapons Center in Albuquerque, X. >1. In 1953 Major Schmurker served as bom badier on the plane which drop ped the largest atomic hoiub ever tested in the I nited States, and in 1955 lie dropped another A bomb from the highest altitude in the history of atomic research.
