RULES GIVEN FOR CHRISTMAS MAILING The 1954 Christmas season is near i.' and following are a few things that will assure the safe and speedy handling of your greeting cards' and parcels. Have parcels wrapped and tied securely before presenting to your carrier or post office window for mailing. Address should be complete and plainly printed. Pack tightly as loose packing may allow it to be crushed when in bag with other parcels. Air mail to overseas is limi ted to two pounds. Domestic pack ages to 70 pounds but the use of smaller parcels of 12 to 15 pounds is suggested. Note on the use of 2c stamps in mailing unsealed cards — there must be no writing on the card other than your name — the writ ing of ANYTHING else requires the use of a 3c stamp, whether seal ed or unsealed. Those bearing 2c postage will not be forwarded or returned but disposed of as waste if undeliverable as addressed.

Horses trembled, bustles shook and. handle-bar mustaches bristled when this 15-mile-an-hour juggernaut in 1905 careened off the road to crash through a rail fence. The week-end driver of this vintage hot-rod suffered a severe injury to his dignity, but that was the only loss, other than the driver’s goggles. The operator of this modern automobile traveling probably four times as fast, lost his life. If you’re sitting in the driver’s seat on that coming Labor 'Day trip, the accident prevention department of Employers Mutuals of Wausau reminds you that excessive speed and sudden death go hand-in-hrnd: You should observe not only the legal speed limit, but the limit set by road, traffic and weaker conditions . . . because any speed can be a killing speed, depending upon the circumstances. —Phot s evurtw Employers maw-’- *• ” r a ,,„, w Raulerson is Winner in Sheriff’s Race T.
