Comma ndrest of Zafa Court no. 41 is joined by the charity committee members in preparing Thanksgiving boxes for needy families. Food was distributed to ten needy families in the Durham community by the court. Pictured left to right are Dt. Clara Parkins, Ella Gilmore, Harriet Armstrong, and Rosalee Sharpe, Nobles John Armstrong and Exter Gilmore, Dts. Pearl George, Hazel Flintall, Alice Rivers and Commandress Louise Weeks. Dt. Rosalae Shame served as committee chairman with Dt. Blanche Noel assisting. Christinas bargain hunters should be wary of mail-order swindlers, who may be operating bi greater numbers this year because of economic conditions, according to the U. S. Postal Service. Several types of fraud and misrepresentation cases have been investigated by Postal Inspectors during the holiday buying season in past years. Postal consumer protection attorney George Davis recalled one operator who advertised a well-known make of camera for sale at about $50 less than its market-value. "He got thousands of people to mail him checks for $19.95, but fortunately the Postal Inspectors got into the case very ouickly," Davis , said. "They found out that the swindler wasn't delivering any cameras, and got a court ordered seizure of his bank account containing $50,000 before he could leave town with the money.' Postal Inspectors say $200,000 was eventually returned to people who fell for the scheme. Postal Service attorney say another scheme that operated during the Christmas mail-order season involved misrepresentation of the size and quality of dolls. The dolls mailed to buyers tuVned out to be much smaller and of poorer quality than those pictured in an ad. "Another area to be careful of, "said Davis,' is mail-order franchising that could involve obligations to buy and sell greeting cards for the holiday season. You could end up with a lot of cards that won't sell and would be difficult to give away.' Postal officials say that although the vast majority of mail-order companies are honest, the promoters' of falsely advertised products show goodwill toward no one, not even during the Christmas season. !

This revolutionary system, which transmits information on light guided through thin glass fibers, is slated to undergo active testing beginning early next year. The place is Bell Labs' Atlanta, Georgia facility where a 2000-foot cable containing over 100 fibers will be installed in ducts and manholes.
