Fire Safety
Students and North and West
schools got a first-hand experience
in fire safety Tuesday.
A children's fire safety house
was set up by the Telephone
Pioneers of America and for a few
minutes a mock fire was under
way.
The children pretended they
were asleep in an upstairs bed-
room. When the smoke alarm went
off a non-toxic smoke filled the
house and the children put into
practice what «School Health
Coordinator City Borders had
pointed out to them minutes earlier.
It was a bit uncomfortable, the
students said, but they crawled
through the smoke safely.
The safety house on wheels trav-
els all over the sate with Steve
Grigg and Bob Usher as coordina-
tors. Local Pioneers volunteers
helped out at the Kings Mountain
elementary schools visit.
Roll out of bed, get close to the
floor and crawl to the door, the
children were told.
AARP Chapter Meets
The Kings Mountain Chapter
4063 AARP held its regular meet-
ing Tuesday at the Senior Center
Depot.
Guest speaker was Kings
Mountain Fire Chief Frank Burns,
who showed slides on fire preven-
tion and gave a talk on latest proce-
dures instituted by national fire
prevention councils to help save
lives. Brochures were given to
members and some left for other
Kings Mountain Postmaster
K.M. Howard is urging citizens to
mail well before the overseas holi-
day deadlines to assure on-time de-
livery.
"For mail sent to military and in-
ternational destinations, we would
like for citizens to mail well before
the overseas holiday deadlines to
give us extra time to arrange trans-
portation," Howard said.
Howard added that equipping
Desert Shield has required an enor-
mous effort on the part of the U.S.
air and surface carriers. Last
minute overseas mailing will add
an even greater burden, so early
mailing will be especially welcome
this year.
Mailers can get specific infor-
mation by calling the Post Office at
739-5616.
For mail within the U.S., there is

'Los Tres Osos’
If you see a big brown bear wan-
dering around West Elementary
School, be sure to speak to it in
Spanish. It is probably an oso
(bear) just escaped from the pro-
duction of Los Tres Osos (The
Three Bears), presented by Mrs.
Arrowood's second grade class for
all of West's kindergarten students.
The entire second grade partici-
pated in this production, providing
the voices of the three bears and
part of the narration, but some
class members had individual
roles.

rator; Anthony Childers was Papa

no deadline, but the volume of mail
escalates dramatically during the
week before Christmas and earlier
mailing would help the Post Office
handle the increased work load
more smoothly, Howard said.
Last year the number of cards
and letters peaked at 200 million
on December 18. The total more
than doubled the 80 million letters
sorted on a normal work day. From
mid-November through December,
a record 3.3 billion letters were
canceled.

volume of mail we will receive lo-
cally, but it helps us to get the mail

son," Howard said.
Howard says early mailing is
"smart mailing." It spreads the vol-
ume more evenly, contributing to
more efficient delivery. Mailing
early is also a hedge against possi-
ble delays caused by winter storms
that could halt air or ground trans-
portation,
