Postmaster List Pointers
To Speed Christmas Mail
Postmaster Woodrow E. Cecil has outlined ten basic pointers for
users of the mails to follow in order to assure prompt and safe de
livery of their Christmas cards and gifts this year.
Christmas mailing has already started and it is expected to pick
up momentum in the next three weeks. The basic rules are as fol
lows:
1. Address mail fully and
clearly. Write legibly or priht
plainly and always use zone
numbers in the address and re
turn address. Avoid abbervia
tions since this may lead to con
fusion.
2. Use the 3-cent letter rate
on cards and letters. Be certain
a return address is printed in the
upper left hand corner of both

By Local Officers
'I juxh- obbci 11•(uvui,f i in
Noble county, Saturday morn
ing, with Sheriff Donald Con
away reporting the loss of
$183.70 at the Dallas Bond Nobk
Tractor Sales Service and $45.00
from the Baker Sales & Service
company. In the third business
place, the Fleeman Pon^iac gar
age, no loot was taken by the
culprits.
All three business establish
ments are located south of Cald
well on USR 21 and all are
located within a mile of each
other.
Sheriff Conaway said that
entrance to the Bond tractor
sales was made by entering a
window in the rear of the office.
The cash register had been
jimmied open and the office
ransacked. The loot included
$150.90 from the cash register,
$25.05 from petty cash, $5.00 in
change from a special box, $1.00
from the candy case and $1.75
from the cigarette machine.
At Baker's garage, the safe
was unlocked and the thieves
obtained $45.00 in cash. They
entered this building through a
side door which they splintered.
Entrance to the Fleeman
building was gained through a
broken x-ear window in the gar
age repair department but
nothing of value was taken.
The local department is still
investigating and several good
fingerprints were obtained.
Light-Waterworks
Employees Asking
For Wage Increase
_Kinp!i of yell
Light and Waterworks plant
have asked the board of public
affairs that they be granted an
increase in salary, amounting to
a blanket increase of $25.00 per
month.
The request for an increase
was made in person by the em
ployees to the board of public
affairs.
The board, composed of Char
les Rogers, R. D. Buckey and
Bill Davis, voted to take the
request under advisement and
wait until such time as they
could see their way clear to
grant it.
This action will be taken after

except for the four tires. The
highway employees were not
