HAPPY THANKSGIVING—This scene was taken from the BibUca] Recorder for this month. It is a
beautiful Thanksgiving scene and saves to remind us all that we have a great deal to be Thankful for re
gardless of our adversities. We do not, as a newspaper, advocate going backwards but it is time that we
revert back to observing Thanksgiving in the old-time traditional manner and be grateful for the boun
ties that God has bestowed upon us.
CHRISTMAS MAIL-LESSON M WAR OF 1812
The Post Office Department
has come a lone way since
1015 when 1,000 men were in
jured or died in New Orleans
because it took months to get
a high priority message from
Belgium to New Orleans,
Postmaster William C. White
said.
Two or three - day deliv
ery « standard practice for
such a letter today.
"However, if people held the
vast volume of Christmas
mail until the last moment
even a high priority letter
could be bogged down in the
mail avalanche," the Postmas
ter said.
The 1812 incident was the
Battle of New Orleans. Gen
eral Andrew Jackson's forces
defeated the British army on
January '*§, more than two
weeks after a peace treaty
had barn signed ending the
Wpr of 1811. The message
wasnt delivered until March
ft
While the late delivery of
Christmas mail may not be
as tragic," the Cooleemee
postmaster said, "much of the
Joy of Christmas would be
tort."
"About seven billion piec
es of mail will be delivered
natioaaHy during the Christ*
map jteak season. To make
sure- a gets to the proper
destination in time, every
one should plan to null as far
in advance as possible Mail
as eerly a posible and no*
save all gifts and greetings
for one deposit In other
wordS mail early and often."

report was the order he car
ried, signed by the Postmas-
ter General, directing postal
employees along the way to
give the courier assistance in
delivering the important mes
sage.
Postmaster White said there
is a parallel for Christmas
mail
"Mailers should double cheek
the address against the Items
they are sending. Every year
stories are told of envelopes
or packages being mailed with
no address, or illegible ad
dresses. Sometime people ev
en inadvertently mail peck
ages before they are wrap
ped."
The Postmaster urged that
ZIP Code be uapd in all
mail- in both the return and
destination addresses. ,
