They art single pieces of cardboard mailed without enve lope, as are picture postcards today. Reading left to right, top, the (lrst was mailed In 1913, the second, date not Christmas Cards Flood Mail; 60,000 Were Sent In Raeford The age-old custom of mail ing Christmas greetings re sulted In the average American family mailing and receiving 60 Christmas cards during the holiday season, 1967. This meant that of the 107,600 pieces of mall that went through the canceling machine at the Raeford post office, some 60,000 or more were Christmas cards. Charles Morrlslon, post master, said that 2,600 more pieces of mall were canceled by the machine this year than last, bringing the total to 107, 600. This figure, however large, does not Include pieces of mall that were too bulky to run through the stamping machine or the metered mall. The Idea of sending Christ mas greetings began more than 100 years ago when a young artist designed and made cards which carried good wishes to some of his closest friends. Today, the practice has be come highly commercialized and some one and one-half bil lion cards are now mailed an ually. Considering the fact that the cost of a resonably Inex pensive card Is four or five cents, each will cost double that much by the time It la stamped and mailed. It Is now time to compile a Christmas card list for next year. That Is, If you are one of those who discards those re ceived this year after making a list from them to be used in mailing your own next year. Some wel. wishers keep the greeting bearers until the fol lowing year, then use them to address the new ones. This may Lloyd Bass of New Bern spent the weekend and New Years with Mr. and M rs. G. P.

That, however, la a dangerous proce dure. One year our aunt sent back to us the card we sent her the year before. Had It not been for the postmark, we would still be wondering from whom It came. It Is nice to keep the striking ly beautiful cards. Some lend good Idea for Christmas decora tions in years to come. Keeping cards, or even letters, can bring 111 omens sometimes. Such things can fill up an attic or storage room In a hurry. After the death of an older person In a certain family, It fell the lot of others to clear the then uninhabited household. In the storage room was found boxes packed with mall. Not shoe boxes, mind you, but gunshell boxes, grocery store boxes, and ABC store boxes. After two one dollar bills were found In an envelope no one had the courage to throw away anytlng without first opening and searching every fold. Three people spent more than two hours on the Job of opening an unfolding letters and Christmas cards. When the Christmas card idea was originated and for many years to follow, the Yuletlde picture and the greeting were printed on a post card which could be mailed for one cent, whether or not It carried a handwritten message. Then came the more sophis ticated method of putting the card Into an envelope. By this Lumber By Pam in Raleigh last Wednesday, she also visited with Mr. and Mrs. Richard Nance and family of LaFayette, Indiana, who arrived while she was there. Mrs. L.

The card sold for a penny and the postage to mall them was only one cent. Note the ''An Xmas Creetlng,"on the middle, top row. time, the cost of mailing was two cents If the envelope was unsealed and nothing more than a commercially printed mes sage and a signature was Inside. As first class postage climbed penny by penny through the years, sodld second class rates, until this year the unsealed en veloped card went for four cents. Next year the same thing will cost five cents. In recent years more and more people have become more and more personal with their greetings. They now use fewer cards with commercially print ed signatures and are not only signing their names with pen and Ink, but art adding a heart warming thought which may say only, "Come to see us during the holidays," or, "give my best to Jane and John, I do not bavt their addresses." And In cases where the ad dresses la one with whom con tact Is made only onct a year, at Christmastime, letters and notes art enclosed. There are those few who Include a mimeo graphed letter which relates the family highlights for the year a new baby, a fanciful trip, a broken leg. Whether It's a sen tence or a full letter, the cost of mailing from third class rate to first class. Who minded paying a penny more to get the five-cent stamps this year, anyway?
