PO Department
Explains Protection
Against Loss, Damage
Although the Post Office De-
- parfment is not in the "insurance
business." it does provide three
services which offer protection
against the possibility of loss or
damage to mail matter, according
to Postmaster W. P. Freytag.
Those who may have been he-
sitant about mailing a camera,
watch, pair of field glasses, or
other valuable item to a friend
or relative at Christmas time may
obtain some ease of mind through
rhe protection offered by insured,
registered, or'collect-on-delivery
(c.o.d.) mail. These special ser-
vices provide for payment of in-
demnity in the event the package
covered is lost, rifled, or damag-
ed.
Pn parcels of this type claims
may be filed at any post office,
branch, or station by either the
mailer or the recipient. Claim-
ants are allowed the value of
the damaged item at time of mail-
ing, or the cost of duplicating the
item, or the cost of repairs to
partially damaged items up to
the amount covered by the fee
paid. The wrapper or postal
receipt under which the parcel
was mailed must be submitted
when the claim is filed. Invoices
showing purchase price, cost of re-
pairs, or cost of duplicating dam-
aged or lost articles are generally
required.
On claims involving used items
or Items in need of repair, an
allowance must be made for any
depreciation due to age or wear,
or for repairs needed at the time
J
of mailing.
Insured, registered, or c.o.d.
parcels may be opened and the un-
damaged items removed. It is
not necessary that parcels sus-
pected of containing damage be
inspected by the post office before
being opened. Only the Items for
which a claim is made are re-
quired to be submitted with the
wrapper or other evidence of in-
surance.
Undamaged portions of sets of
dishes, glasses, etc., must be sub-
mitted if the damaged pieces cannot
be replaced. Payment in such
cases is made for th entire set
unless the claimant desires to re-
tain the undamaged items. If the
undamaged portion of the mailing
is retained, a fair salvage value
is determined by the post office.
The salvage value, however, may
not be the total value of the set.
Claims involving loss of or dam-
age of family heirlooms, keep-
sakes, and the like, on which the
claimant places a high sentimen-
tal value, cannot be settled until
the actual market value of the
article has been established. The
Post Office Department does not
allow indemnity for sentimental
value. However, if the item is
actually an antique, proper al-
lowance is made for this.
"The best ‘insurance’ against
loss or damage," Postmaster
Freytag reminds us, "is still pro-
per packing and addressing.
Beyond these precautions, insured,
registered, and c.o.d. services do
offer financial reimbursement If
something adverse should hap-
pen."

OITTIMIOR TIPS
from the Ancient Age Sportsman's Idoa Exchange
FLEET’S IN FOR
CAMOUFLAGE SUIT
Don’t look now but a sailor’s
hat makes a fine start for a snow
hunting camouflage suit. Wear it
upside down, rainy weather style.
A sheet “skirt” that your wife
sews on the bottom with holes
cut out for eyes covers your face
and neck. Whole rig is cheap,
quick, and does the job perfectly.
MAKE A CLEANING STRING
Don’t know if the gun com-
panies would approve of this as
the only way to clean your gun
but it’s a convenient way. And
sure saves time on those after-
hunt returns when you’re tired.
On a string, tie flannel strips
into six knots just the right size
to fill the bore of rifle or shotgun
you use. Soak first two bunches
with cleaner, leave second two
dry, put clean oil on last two. As
you pull string through first set
of oily rags cleans, second dries
and polishes, third lays down
protective coat. A straightened
coat hanger makes a good thread-
ing rod.
United Church
Women Meet
The quarterly meeting of the
United Church Women of La Grange
was held at the First National Bank
Hospitality Room on Monday, Oct.
8, at 3:30 p.m. with 13 ladies pre-
sent.
The meeting was opened with a
prayer led by the president, Mrs.
Raymond Lampe.
The clothing chairman, Mrs. W.
C. Hunter reported three calls for
school clothes were filled by Mt.
Calvary, Episcopal , and Methodist
Churches.
Mrs. Eugene Homeyer, toy com-
mittee chairman said she is ready
to make her request for toys to
be used for Christmas Cheer.
Mrs. Don Williams , Cozy Rest
Home chairman , read a report
that the Rest Home had been visited
in September by Mrs. George Lau-
terstein and Mrs. Emilie Uhry and
they brought cheer and refresh-
ments to the patients.
The next meeting will be the
second Monday in January.
James Urban
Receives Scholarship
James Edward Urban. Univer-
sity of Texas sutdent from Led-
better, has received a scholarship
for 1962-63 from the College of
Pharmacy. The scholarship is
composed of funds from the Phar-
maceutical Foundation and Fed-
Mart of Houston Inc.
Urban is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Marvin Matejowsky. Rt. 1.
ALL-PURPOSE LIGHTER
Glue a piece of emery cloth to
hunting and fishing lighter. Will
sharpen dull hook points, light
matches, too.
ONE OF YOU IS NUTS
That’s what other hunters may
think as you belt the stuffing out
of den trees in squirrel woods.
But there isn’t a better way to
chase the bushytails out of their
nests than a sharp rap on his
tree trunk.
SEWING MACHINE
ROD WINDER
Can’t beat the tension arm on
your wife’s sewing machine to
hold thread for rod winding.
With a little Rube Goldberging
(and four small wheels), you can
fashion a professional rig, re-
finish your gear this winter.

made out of fiberglass. Pads and
a dash of water will remove
spots, stains and mistake marks.
TENT DRYER
Another good use for a plumb-
er’s thick candle is to dry out a
wet tent. Without heat a soaked
tent can remain muggy for days.
A candle burning in a safety pan
while you’re away will present
you with warm, dry quarters
when you return.
