THE WAYNESVILLE MOUNTAINEER TUESDAY Public Protected From Mail Fraud By Wary Post Office Inspectors R 9r thaxk wei&nt AP Newsfeatures Writer WASHINGTON "This outfit's a phony," eald the money order clerk in a small eastern pofitoffice. The ex-WAC, trying to send $25 to a "school" which promised a sure-fire job when she had fin ished its course, took back her money. Now a money order clerk is not usually supposed to butt into this more from .rp business, but the one who did but in happened to be a close friend of i fraud the girl's family, and he had just heard from a visiting U. S. postal inspector that this particui racket was about to be busted un der federal mpil-fraud laws. Roscoe E. Mague, general su perintendent of the Post Office Inspection Service, tells the story to illustrate what he considers one of the most vicious "gyps" prac ticed against ex-service men and women. He hastens to add there are plenty of reliable, honest and au thenticated correspondence schools extending themselves to aid vet erans. He's after the frauds pat terned after the old "diploma mills." They promise to find a veteran a high-pay job at the end of a course calculated to take just about all his separation and niusl-ering-out pay. and then tell him he flunked the examinations Large-Scale Fakerv Full figures are not available. od and Gun By TOM WALKER just 89 of the 3.4.VS mail- cases handled last jear than S31.800.000 was filched the public ::i all tpt o: pract ices.

It was also disclosed 'hat 83 per cent of the Occupation Army mem bers are twenty-five or younger and 55 per cent are under twenty. Eleven per cent have had only seven years of primary schooling, while 78 per cent have had some high-school education.

This veai 's regulations contain ! three changes: a cut of neai lv 50 i per cent in the season and reduc tions in the bag limits for duck land in shooting hours. These ; changes were necessary, the Fish and Wildlife Service said .in its an ' noimcement. because of a decrease . m duck and geese and an anticipat ed increase in shooting pressure. , It appears that both forecasts of ,lhe Service are right: the hunt ers certainly will be there, and from the looks of things now, the birds won't in big numbers, that is. The 1940-47 season will be 45 days i through Jan. 0'. as against last year's BO; the daily bag limit for duck will be seven, as against last year's 14; and the daily shoot ing period will be from a half hour before sunrise to a half-hour before sunset, instead of until sun- S'jt.

Training in street safety can best be effected as soon as the child begins to toddle. No matter what hia playmates do, he should know from experience ihat every time I he steps into the street, alone, !:e , will receive instant physical pain. ! This means that his parents, or a i substitute, must be on hand con stantly until this learning is made effective which should require no mora than a week. My bulle tin, "How to Teach Tot Meaning of NO," explains how it may be done. The booklet may be had in a stamped envelope. A Useful Habit Once the tot has really learned the meaning of "No," he will honor the command that he shall not coast into the street. Best of all, he will learn always to come to a dead stop as he arrives at the curb. This habit, well established at two or three, should still prove useful to him at sixteen or sixty. Several years ago, it was agreed at a convention of the National Safety Council that the one single most important safety habit at any age is to stop always at the curb. Obviously the child or adult who has acquired this hahit ha? a far better chance to live till he dies of a natural death than if he lias not acquired the habit. Another useful rule to learn early is to get out of a car on the side next the curb, to make a bee line for the curb, and to wait till the car you have left has moved I on. This rule needs to be observed always, whether another car ia coming or not. . ; Some tots are run down by their own parents on the home drive way to the garage. Make it a rule before starting the car on the drive to know first where the youngster is. . j ft ay Be Injrred 1 Many p-rnts will leave their keys in the car at home, even leave the engine running. At a very early age the child can set the car going. A good r-:e, of course, ia never to allow your child to be in the car when older persons are not there. To hospitals are brought many young children, injured some fa tallyafter falling from a moving car because the youngster tam pered with the door opener. Mani festly, the rear seat of a two-door car is safer than that of a four door car. The surest safety meas ure is to train the child early never to touch the handles of the car door, using punishment, if neces sary, to effect this teaching. Many accidents occur because the mother or father, while driv ing, is distracted by the quarrel ing of two youngsters in a car. Having one child sit in the front seat and the other in the rear may help, though they may still fight. Wise is the parent who settles such chronic quarrels decisively by pulling out to the side and pad dling both the youngsters sound ly with his belt. Wouldn't that be more humnne than having the whole family killed or badly injured? At The Churches HAZELWOOD PRESBYTISM CHURCH Rev. S. R. Crockett. Pasi.ii- Preaching service Sunday n no A. M.

Dr. Irving Langmuhr, associate director of the General Electric Laboratory, said the first artificial outdoor snowfall was produced by sprinkling pellets of dry ice from n ahplano dikI. into a three-mile-long lie said the experiment indicated I li'it I he mot hoes could be used i ifeclively to produce several inches of snow at mountain winter sports resorts. Ho added that the method might be applied as an aid to storing up a supply of ground moisture in winter.
