THE CHOWAN HERALD. EDENTON, N.'C., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1948. Postal Service Faces Huge Holiday Rush Public Warned to Mail . Christmas Parcels At Once With the normal mail volume at an all-time high, Postmaster General Jesse M. Donaldson warns Christmas 1 mailers that unless they mail their Christmas parcels at once and their Christmas cards well in advance of Christmas week that they face the likelihood of not having them deliv ered until after Christmas. Directing the attention of Christ mas mailers to the fact that normal mail volume in the last several , months has daily reached the propor tions of the peak of the Christmas , period a year ago, the Postmaster General said that this year’s Christ , mas mail, added to the present every- i day record volume, has created the \ most acute mail congestion and transportation problem in the entire . history of the Postal Service. Only by the immediate mailing of Christmas parcels, Mr. Donaldson ; said, can the senders be assured that their gifts will arrive prior to Christmas and thereby be in keeping with the spirit of the holiday season. While every available means of transportation and extra facilities have been pressed into service, to gether with the employment of ap proximately 300,000 temporary em ployees during the holiday period, Mr. Donaldson emphasized that much of this advance preparation will have been in vain if the mailing public fails to place their Christmas parcels in the mails at once. Mr. Donaldson said that the Post Office Department is relying on the mailing public to do its full part in cooperating in this year’s holiday mail problem, the greatest ever to confront the Postal Service. Fewer Yets Using GI Home Loans Fewer and fewer veterans are ob taining home loans under the GI Bill, according to the Veterans Adminis tration. Records show that GI loans now number only one out of every ten new small home mortgages, compared with a one-in-four ratio during the peak period of the GI loan guaranty program. The VA attributes the decrease in the number of veterans’ home loans i to two factors: The high and rising price level for new homes and the four per' cent interest rate—the maximum which lenders may charge veterans for loans guaranteed by VA under the GI Bill. Regarding the first factor, VA es timates that the average veteran fam ily can afford a home priced at $5,000 to $6,000, or well below the price asked for most of the new homes un der construction. Relative to the second factor, VA explained that lenders are reluctant to invest in long-term loans permitting only a gross return of four per cent. CHIMNEY FIRE Edenton firemen were called out about midnight Monday as the result of a chimney fire at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Wales, Jr., in the Makely Apartment. Fire Chief R. K. Hall reported practically no damage. | DIAMONDS 1 I i f THE IDEAL GIFT! \ \ CAMPEN’S | f JEWELERS I SIMON' S I CHRISTMAS CLEARANCE I FRIDAY, DECEMBER 17, THROUGH FRIDAY, DECEMBER 31 I I MARKDOWNS FROM 25% TO 50% | IN OUR LADIES’ READY-TO-WEAR DEPARTMENT dtfK I DOZENS OF DRESSES TfJ Regularly Priced $7.95 ■ SAI.E PRICE— S e 95 A FINE SELECTION OF h ]W I 510.75 DRESSES - /JA I $7-95 If m IOK REDUCTION ON DRESSES \I M Our Dresses Formerly Priced at Ir §9Et $12.75 and $14.75 fiiJM ON SALE AT I s§>Bs feSpi' I Big Assortment of Ladies’Bags // if I" $3.69 Value.
