Bakers estimate that a typ aiter with rifle, hatchet, knife, cooking and camp jpment carries 12 pounds Postmaster General Offers Tips On Christmas Mailing The nation's chief "matlman"? Postmaster General Arthur E. Summerfleld?gave some tips to day on how to mail for Christmas. At the same time, he urged mail patrons to staht planning now to shop early and mail early for Christmas. Mail patrons may obtain for the first time this Christmas season a free copy of an especially helpful new booklet that should make the Christmas mail burden easier. This is the illustrated pamphlet, "Packaging and Wrapping Parcels For Mailing." The pamphlet, first announced by the Post Office De partment on October 7, describes the type and size of cartons best suited for shipping, and lists hints that will help with special Christ mas mailing problems, such as shipping chinaware. Copies are available?free--at post offices. Wight packing, right wrapping, and right addressing are the three keys to easy and trouble-free Christmas mailing, Mr. Summer field noted. Detailed packaging instructions may be obtained easily from the packaging and wrapping pham phlet. But, Mr. Summerfield did have a few do's and don't's to offer, as follows: DON'T go for flimsy light card board and paper boxes in packag ing your Christmas presents for the mail. DO pick strong containers in good condition. An empty corru gated fiberboard box of the type that may be found in your neigh borhood grocery is good for mail ing gifts, for example, if it is UNVEILS STATUE OF EX-QUEEN t QUEEN JULIANA of the Netherlands, who Is touring the Dutch West Indies, stands before a statue of her mother, the ex-Queen now Princess Wilhelmina, after unveiling the memorial at Oranjeatad, Aruba. It stands 10 feet high in Wilhelmina Park and was carved by Umberto Lualdi, famed sculptor of Florence, Italy. (International) rigid and undamaged. Be sure the container is the right size: if it is ' too large, the contesnts are apt to shift in tran shrd eta shr shr overstuffed carton may burst in shipping. If necessary, cut your container down to fit the contents. Cushioning material, such as excelsior, shredded newspapers or tissue paper, should be evenly and firmly placed on all sides of the gift item. Two or more inches of such covering is the minimum. DO wrap the package properly. The carton should be wrapped in heavy brown paper and tied with strong twine. Articles of a delicate nature, such as glass, china, electrical ap pliances, musical instruments and radios, must be marked "Fragile" by the mailer. Food stuffs should be marked "Perishable," if subject Is spoilage. f DON'T depend on flimsy wrap ping paper and stick adhesive ma terials alone to keep the package I intact. Also, DON'T mark the wrapping with unnecessary wording. For example. "Do Not Delay," is super fluous. "Rush" does not properly belong on a parcel. If it is desired to expedite delivery of a parcel, use special handling or special de livery service. DO address plainly and properly, using postal zone numbers where available. Addresses should be ink or typed, and a return address should appear on every parcel, no matter how near or far it may be going. The proper place for the return address, incidentally, is the upper left hand corner of the parcel? not on the back, side, or one of the other corners. DON'T put the address on in handwriting. Your handwriting may be legible to you, but it may give someone else trouble. Hand print or type the address. And don't put the address in unusual or obscure places. As a general rule, firearms, li quors, and animals may not be mailed <with certain exceptions to specially authorized shippers). The utvihgu v/iii i.niiik.] iiiaitvi vbii J uni put it down that these are taboo, as, are poisons and explosives. The overwhelming bulk of Christmas mail will be by parcel post, of course, and it should be remembered that size and weight limits vary, depending upon the post office of mailing and the post office of address. Mailers may check with their post office and ask for the free pamphlet "Post Office Department Publication 3," which contains the rates of postage and limits of size and weight for domestic mail. Books may be sent at a special low rate of postage, but mailers must not enclose othqr articles with books at this rate. Also, as a final tip, Mr. Sum merfield advised mail patrons to register valuable packages con taining items such as jewelry and money. Insurq other packages. This Christmas, Mr. Summerfield also noted, another mail service is available to mail patrons. This is the certified mail service, which provides certain advantages of registered mail at less cast. This service may not be used for items of intrinsic value, such as merchandise. Checks, savings bonds, and gift certificates may be sent by certified mail, however. The fee for this service is 15 cents in addition to postage at the first-class rate. A record of delivery of certified mail is maintained and the sender may obtain proof of delivery, if desired. It would take 1,000 ships the size of the 80-ton Santa Maria, largest in the Columbus fleet, to equal today's line Queen Eliza beth, 80,000 tons. _? r Canton High Campus Cuffnotes By Patty, Morgan Now since Halloween is over we can start scraping the soap off the windows.

A hundred and ninety five of us were cordially welcomed by Mr. J. E. Williamson. Talks were given on "Champion's Effect" and "Planning Your Future". Two very interesting pictures were shown. A special series of "Career C?uid ance" sessions were offered and were very interesting. After the sessions we enjoyed a delicious din ner. And then ended the day with a tour of the mill.
