This the 5th day of December 1949. S. D. MARTIN. Clerk Superior Court Christmas Customs The Candlelighting Ceremony originated in old England, and in volved the lighting of a huge candle for burning during the twelve nights of celebration ... lit from a candle used the previous year. Santa Claus descended from I the Dutch St. Nicholas' Day when the patron saint of children re warded good children. Christmas trees originated in Germany, and the illuminating l candles , symbolized the Star of ] Bethlehem. Caroling began in plays of the Nativity in early churches . . . groups of carolers later come into being, singing in the streets and before great houses. Today the many customs are intermingled and blended in celebration of the world's most widespread holiday. New Rates Set Out By Post Office Its going to be slightly more* ex pensive this year for the citizens to express their Christmas senti ments. _ . Postmaster John Finley explain j ed today that new postal regula tions say you cant say "Merry Christmas" through the mail under anything smaller than a two-cent stamp. In brief, the postal people have j lowered the boom on the odd 1 % | cent sentiment. It takes a two ! cent stamp for unsealed envelop es. That also goes for the off-size postcards. The only kind of card you can send through the mail under a one cent stamp is the regulation size like those sold at the post offices. And if you want to send your greetings in those itty-bitty un sealed envelopes, it'll cost you three cents postage. Specifically that's what it takes for an envelope less than four inches long and three inches wide. Not that the post office folks don't like small fry as such. It's simply that* the tiny envel ope won't pass through the sand ard stamping machines. They have to be stamped by hand. As for Christmas parcels, don't try to send your friends any tasty little dish that's liable to spoil before the postman can de j liver it. ! The post office won't accept it for mailing, anyway, Postmaster Finley says: If your gift is perishable but won't spoil before it reaches its destination it must be endorsed by postmasters, or postal employees with the word "Perishable" right over the name of the person to whom it is addressed. If you forgot Aunt Sally on Christmas Eve, you can, of course, rush her gift off by air mail. But don't try to send her an ice box or something that way. The postmaster reminds us that air-mail packages sent fourth-class cannot be any bigger than 100 inches long and wide combined. And, if they're first class or fourth-class mail, they can't weigh more than 70 pounds. As for what else you can mark on your packages besides your friend's name and address and your own address, you may write: "Please do not open until Christ mas." You can send simple greetings inside packages going third or fourth-class mail (parcel post, that is). You can slip in a card saying "Merry Christmas." 'Happy New Year," or "With Best Wishes," for instance. You can also write an inscrip tion in a book going by third or fourthlclass mail—"Merry Christ mas, 1949," "To Mary from John," or something in that order. But if you slip in even a very short letter or personal message in your parcel, be prepared to pay the sa^ne postage you'd pay if the parcel' were one big letter. That perfect gift that you fin ally found after tramping miles through dozens of stores may never reach your friend, if you just slap the wrapping around it, or use weak cord and flimsy paper that won'|^stand the gaff of the Christ mas rush. If you want to seal them, be sure you put the printed parcel post sticker reading: "Contents: Merchandise — Post master:. This parcel may be opened for postal inspection, if necessary." On the outside wrapping with your name and address. Without the printed sticker, the package must be tied and left unsealed. To save time in the usual Christ mas rush at the post office, buy your stamps far in advance. Besides air mail there are the special delivery and special hand ling to get your gifts delivered in the fastest possible time. To get special handling service for your fourth-class package— and only fourth-class—will cost an extra fee beyond the usual postal rate. For instance, for packages weighing up to two pounds, you pay 13 cents extra. WHO KNOWS? 1. What is the significance of the "Freedom Fair?" 2. Where will the "Freedom Fair" be held? 3.
