Ad vances Are Listed Patrons of the Brevard post of fice and other post offices over Western North Carolina will find a sharp increase in postal rates effective Jaunary 1 as a result of an act passed in the closing hours of the last Congress. Postal authorities here announc ed yesterday that the rates on first class mail, which, of course, in cludes post cards and three-ccnt letters, will not be changed. Here are some of the changes: Airmail goes back to six cents after 20 months at five cents. Spec ial delivery rates jump from 13 to 15 cents. Also increased are fees for mon- j ey orders, postal notes, COD pack ages, insurance and registered mail. Rates for books, catalogues, seeds and plants, which have been under a “preferential rate” for some time, will go up from one cent to a cent and a half for each two ounces. Congress approved the new rates | in the last-minute welter of legis- i lation last June to help pay for j boosts in the pay of 500,000 postal1 workers. Holly, mistletoe, poinsettia, and other floral motifs provide the most popular Christmas card de signs. One novel 1948 Christmas card contains a postcard for the recipi ent to send back, indicating how he fared over the holidays.

Here’s one way to an- j swer your Christmas problems j and please each member of the | family as well as to bring Christ mas right into the heart of yowr home and keep it there through out the year. Give a practical gift — something for the home. As interest in home furnishings for Christmas has increased, dealers have met the demand by providing gifts for each mem ber of the family for the entire home, gifts that can be added j to throughout the year — at anniversaries, birthdays and at each subsequent Christmas. While two Transylvania county i children are still receiving treat-1 ment in the Asheville Orthopedic home, and the youngest member! of the same family is now receiv- i ing home treatment for the after j effects, it is time to awaken the' | people to the cost of polio. Money | to some people plays a role of major importance in their life, to | others a less important role. No i matter how much or little empha ] sis you put on material things, you 1 must know that no amount of money can buy health. However, | money can buy research and pre i ventative measures to combat po lio. Before long the annual March ! of Dimes will begin in Brevard, North Carolina, and throughout the nation. Our state has fought a dreadful epidemic, and we must! be the ones to pay in dollars and cents. Transylvania has been spar ed the brunt of the epidemic, the !os£ of lives, but we must begin now to think about our part in i the fund raising campaign this year. If you’ve been in Galloway’s cafe recently, you could not help but notice the cleverly displayed copper still in the back of the room at the left. Pete Bikas, owner, got this still after the law officials completed a recent raid. For two days he had two colored boys scrubbing the cans and other equipment to make them shine. Now they’re display ed along with some autumn leaves and a large jug . . . that latter is quite appropriate, we must admit. All of the store windows were dressed up in their very best in time for the opening of me shop ping season last week. Some of the stores displaying clothing just went “Off the deep end,” so to speak, to get up something really beautiful. For color and sparkle, there were four or five that just can t be beat. However, the clev erest decoration of all, in my opinion, is the Christmas trees on Macfie’s window. They’re three large trees, outlined in green, with the largest in the middle. Painted on the bows are large color:ul balls. Shows some ingenuity and originality on the part of Mrs. Ashe Macfie, who painted them. Something new has been add ed in these parts in the way of heat for big, barn-like buildings. It is a type of oil burner that has been in use in the orange groves of Florida and California and is guaranteed to keep freeze off an acre of the grove. It was introduced in Brevard by Paul Smathers. who has a large shed-like building at his plant that he has been unable to heat. —Turn To Page Twelve* Ride The Bus BREVARD-ROSMAN SCHEDULE (15 Minute Runs) LEAVE BREVARD !
