MO CONSTRUCTION
IN DAVIE DUE SOON
Mocksville Construction
of Interstate 40 through Da
vie County should begin by
next spring.
That was the word given
recently by W. F. Babcock,
state .highways administra
tor.
However, delays are still
possible concerning the avail
abilty of federal funds.
Earliest probable date of
completion is estimated for
late 1969 or early 1970.
Babcock said that the pre
viously estimated time sched
ule for the 28-mile missing
link of the east-west high
way has been off because of
the slowdown of federal
funds.
Previously, the state high
way commission estimated
that contracts would have
been let by last September
and October.
Babcock said the interstate
construction would be let in
three portions; the first a sec
tion from the Forsyth Coun
ty line west to Mocksville;
second state from Mocksville
west to the Iredell County
line; the last portion, from
the Iredell County line to
where 1-40 now ends at
Statesville.
The first section contract
should be let in February.
Contracts for the second and
third stages should be let in
March or May, Babcock said.

and Mrs. John M. Burton from North Carolina. Mr. Kirk is a member of the Cooleemee Methodist Church. The addition to fee

Postmaster White Urges
Early Christmas Mailing
Postmaster White reminded i
Cooleemee residents today
that there are only 21 mail
ing days before Christmas.
"While that may seem like
a long time to most people,
it is frighteningly short to
those of us in the Postal
Service," he said. "Postmaster
General Lawrence F. O'Brien
has predicted that well over
eight billion pieces of mail
must be delivered between
now and Christmas Eve, a
new record.
"We are asking everyone
to start thinking about their
Christmas shopping and mail
ing now. If all the holiday
mail were to hit the postal
system at one time, it is ob
vious that we'd have difficul
ty delivering every piece on
time."
Mailing early and spread
ing the mail flow out along
the entire pre-Christmas sea
son is the key to better mail
service at this time of the
year.
Last year the public co
operation was "tremendous,"
according to Mr. White. Vir
tually every piece of holiday
mail was delivered before
Christmas Day. This year with
increased volume because of
the continuing strength of the
economy we are hoping to
see that fine cooperative spir
it again.
Postmaster White offered
these mailing tips. 'Use Zip
Codes on all mail "If there
are some ZIP Codes that you
still need for your mailing
list come to the Poet Office
and look them up in our ZIP
Code directory or give us a j
call.
ZIP Codes are more im- ,
portant than ever this year.
* Prepare your gift right
away. The earlier you do
your shopping, the better i
chance you have to get ex- ]
actly what you want while i
tha stocas are atiU lull of j
merchandise. That way, you
can mail earlier too.
* Be sure to have enough
boxes, tape, string and wrap
ping paper on hand.
* Wrap your packages well.
Include sufficient padding.
Remember, that your parcel
may be shipped in a mail
sack with a set of the en
cyclopelia riding on top.
* Include a card or piece
of paper inside the package
with your name and address
and that of the person you
are sending the parcel to in
case the wrapping should be
loose and come off. That way,
you can be assured your gift
will not wind up in the dead
parcel office. Also, insert a
list of the packages contents.
* Address your gifts and
greetings clearly so that pos
tal workers will have no dif
ficulty in reading the desti
nation. Use firstclass postage
on greeting cards. This as
sures thtir being forwarded
if the r«»cipient has moved.
Cards that are undeliverable
will be returned when you
include a return address on
the envelope. The Post Office
Department has issued a spe
cial five-cent Christmas stamp
which will help decorate your
holiday mail.
* Most important, mail ear
ly.
