Postmaster Urges Early Mailing Every facility of Kings Moun tain postoffice will be pressed in to maximum service this year so that the postoffice will be cleared of all Christmas mail that has been deposited in time for deliv ery by December 25th, Postmast er Charles L. Alexander has an nounced. Mr. Alexander added that too much stress cannot be given to the importance of “mailing early”. He listed eight points as a ba - is for Christmas mailing that will assure citizens of prompt and safe delivery: 1. Address mail fully and clear ly. Write legibly or print plain ly. Avoid abbreviations since this may lead to confusion. Don’t for get the importance of printing your return address in the upper left hand corner on parcels and first class letter mail. 2. Do not enclose coins or hard objects of any kind in letters. Canceling machines cannot pro cess such letters and often dam age the letter and contents. 3. Do not mail money in Christ mas gifts or letters. For safety's sake, use postal money orders or checks. 4. Separate your letter to “LO CAL” and “OUT OF TOWN”. This will speed all the mail and re lieve much of the congestion at the post office. THESE SLIPS ARE AVAILABLE AT THE POST OF FICE WINDOWS. 5. Make certain that parcels are well packed and securely wrapp ed in strong containers. Cushion ing material, such as excelsior, shredded newspapers or tissue paper should be evenly and firm ly placed on all sides of the Christmas gift. The carton should be wrapped in heavy paper and securely tied with strong twine. 6. Gifts of a delicate nature, such as glass, china, electrical appliances, radios and musical instruments, must be marked “Fragile” by the mailer. Food stuffs should be marked “Perish able” if subject to spoilage. 7. MAIL CHRISTMAS CARDS AND PARCELS EARLY TO A VOID THE LAST MINUTE RUSH AND WAITING IN LINE AT THE POST OFFICE.

COLLEGIANS PLAY HUMOR BROADLY—A cou ple of weekends ago, Lenoir-Rhyne College's Sigma Phi Epsilon staged a dance. Among those invited were Butchie Houser, Wake Forest soph omore from Kings Mountain. There was some question about Miss Houser's attending, but at the last minute her friend and hostess. Miss Donna Cheatham, Kings Mountain sophomore at Lenoir-Rhyne, received a note which read. "Get out the band! I arrive on the 4:20 bus." Meantime, the State Baptist convention had continued its edict banning on-cam pas dancing at Baptist colleges, which include Wake Forest. Mol only did the Lenoir-Rhyne students get out • the band to welcome Miss Houser, but they took a lew jibe3 at the convention decision, as the picture shows. Inscriptions on the sign in clude "Let's Dance Baptist" and “Weltxme Wake Forest to Lutheran Campus". With Miss Houser in the center o£ the music-makers is Bill Mitcham, also of Kings Mountain.
