The OLIVER That's ,i All New
Posloffice Predicb
Xmas Hall Jump
Postmaster Eldridge reports
that the Post Office Depart-
ment is confidently predicting
that the volume of mail during
this year's Christmas rush will
hit a record high. "Actually",
he says, "it's an easy predic-
tion because mail volume has
been rising at a rate of nearly
three per cent a year for the
past several years and this is
most strongly reflected around
the hcliday seascn."
Well over twelve billion
pieces cf incoming and outgoing
mail are expected to move
through the system during Dec-
ember — with about ten per
cent cf the year's mail moving
in less than three weeks.
The Wylie postmaster reports
that public ccopera'.ion is one
important reason that post
offices around the country are
ab!e to handle this huge moun-
tain of mail in such a short
! period.
"WiOhcut the assistance cf
the public, we'd be in a jam.
Pecp'e who shop early and get
their cards and parcels into the
j mails early make it possible for
I the holiday mail to be deliver-
ed on time. Imagine what it
would be like if we were to get
all the holiday mails the last
week before Christmas?"
In addition to early mail-
ing, ithe postmaster has several
other suggestions which will
j help the hard - working postal
j c mployees move this avalanche
'of mail. First, he recommends
using ZIP Codes which help han-
i die the mails faster because of
\ a new transportation and distri-
bution set-up. ZIP Code also
helps clerics to identify receiv-
ing pest offices when addresses
are hard to read. During this
time cf the year, the faster
mail is processed the better
char.ce It has to make connec-
tions with outgoing trains,
plar.es and trucks.
Postmaster Eldridge also rec-
cmmer.is thst all parcels be
wrapped suurely. packed tight-
ly and thai the address be in-
cluded ins de t'.ie package as
well as on the outside. This
helps assure delivery even if the
cuter wrappirg ccmes loose.
The PostmEi.ter points out that
"because IP Code on parcels
usually means a more direct
routing ar.d less handlings, the
chance cf damage is drastical-
! ly redue;d."
Finally, Postmaster Eldridge
says that the use c'f the new
' Christmas stamps helps bright-
; en up envelopes and packages.
There are Five postal em-
ployees working night and day
in the Wylie Past Office to as-
sure you a Merry Christmas. By
following Postmaster Eldridge's
advice, ycu can help them and
yourself to a more relaxed,
happier holiday.

On Trading At Home
Local merchants have seemingly knocked themselves out
for this Christmas shopping season with big inventories of
merchandise that offers a wide assortment of items to :
satisfy the most discriminating shopper.
The wise and thrifty-minded shopper will give his con-
sideration to trading with home town merchants.
Oh, we re going into that song and dance about it being
your duty to trade at home because local merchants pay
local taxes, contribute to all programs that come along
and employ local people and spend their money here
This is a good reason for shoppers to be loyal, but this
kind of spiel usually goes in one ear and out the other,
that is, if it reaches any ear at all.
We're stressing trading at home solely on the basis of
what is best for the customer, not the home town merchant
Prices are good, if not better in your home town than
elsewhere
Also if you buy merchandise at home from your friends
and neighbors, they II stand behind their merchandise
And they'll do so cheerfully.
Or if you buy electrical or mechanical items, you can be
assured of these items being serviced here at home, where-
as you can t be sure if you buy out of town. Or if you
do get service, it will be darn inconvenient
Finally, by trading at home you will encourage your
merchants to have large inventories at all time. This is
a convenience and service to you. |
Also by trading at home you help make your com-
munity a good area-wide trade center. This stimulates ^
the economy of the community, creates more jobs and
also there is always a chance part or all of your money
will find its way back into your pocketbook if it stays
around here.
Trading at home just makes good business sense

i:b with the simple tax course, i
He explained, "Taxpayers pay
97 per cent of all federal taxes
through voluntary compliance.
Teaching Taxes teaches the
student to pay all the taxes he
ewes. It a'sa teaches him to
keep records and take all the
deductions he was coming to \
him. This course teaches stu-
dents to pay the right amount
—no more, no less. We started
offering free materials to our
nation's schools 12 years ago.
Last year 88,000 teachers
taught 31 a million students in ap-
proximately 25,000 schools
throughout the nation. Students
taking this course make only
one fourth as many errors as
their parents make on their tax
returns."

ed this course.
