Pugh 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. H. D.

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. * BAKE SALE On Friday, December 2, the women of the Cooleemee Episcopal Church will hold a Bake Sale at the Shopping Center beginning at 10:00 a.m. All kinds of home made cook ed items will be on sale.
