For the most efficient mail-, mail-, ing, the following steps are suggested: 1. For servicemen over seas-"SAM" seas-"SAM" (Space Available Mail) Christmas parcels can be sent until Nov. 20 for only the small domestic parcel post charge involved from Delta area to East or West Coast points of embar cation for military mall. Parcels up to 5 pounds and 60 inches In combined length and girth are accepted at this low rate. 2. Larger parcels (up to 30 pounds with the same length and girth limitations) can be sent as "PAL" (Parcel Airlift) Air-lift) mail, provided they are mailed by Nov. 27. The charge is only $1 per parcel, plus the regular domestic parcel post postage much less than charges that would apply later if straight airmail service must be provided. 3. For all packaging, Invest in good quality, sturdy wrapping wrap-ping materials. This small investment in-vestment can help Insure undamaged un-damaged delivery of valuable Your Bus Driver slows down ever so cautiously, and slips right on by as though it wouldn't hardly hurt at all if he gently tapped some careless kid with his purring monster. Most drivers obey the laws. But there are just enough careless care-less drivers on the roads that the bus driver cannot drop his defenses for a second. He has to keep two eyes on the road-and two on the load. For example: Smiling brightly, the bus driver dri-ver separates two fifth graders fighting over a candy bar (most of which is now smeared all over the seat and window), tells Dexter' s mother she can't ride into town just this once to have her hair done, and no she can't send that old couchonthe bus intotowntobereupholster-ed. intotowntobereupholster-ed. Still smiling, she politely refuses to take three-year-old Ann down to grandmothers, or make an unscheduled stop for Football Frank who's just too tired to walk down the lane.

Insure parcels realistically to cover full value but do not overlnsure. A $10 gift, for example, ex-ample, can bring only $10 compensation, com-pensation, If lost, even if"In-sured" if"In-sured" for $100. 5. Get plenty of stamps on your first trip to the post office to avoid the time and expense of additional trips. 6. Use ZIP Code as a tool for economy in mailing. When it is used consistently on parcels and cards, ZIP Code helps prevent pre-vent errors in delivery and expedites ex-pedites handling. If only a few Christmas cards go astray, an investment of several dollars may be lost, for example. The key to efficient Christmas Christ-mas mailing is to mail early and carefully. Clear addressing, address-ing, with the ZIP Codes, proper packaging and early depositing can prevent most problems and proi'ide the greatest value for money spent for postage. ule, she finds that the Smith Kids aren't quite ready yet (ae-ain) and would she please 'wait just a minute. Back at the bus garage she heaves a sigh of relief, cleans out her bus and heads for work hoping she won't be called back for an emergency run or gets home that night to a jangling jang-ling phone.

The rest of us are just going to say a silent prayer of -thanks for the bus drivers we have and do what we can to help them. ....... - j mkM DAVID CHURCH, FORMER DELTA ELEMENTARY PRINCIPAL, CONGRATULATES NEW PRINCIPAL ELEANOR ROBERTS ON HER APPOINTMENT.

Citizens, however, were somewhat misled, students appeared ap-peared In Ylpple, Hippie and conventional dress. They gave phony names and most said they were members of various groups such as Young Americans Ameri-cans for Freedom. It proved just how important dress is. The very thought of love beads, sandels, head bands, peace signs, long hair and "ya man" speech seemed to make citizens believe that the petition could not possibly be the Bill of Rights. Comments ranged from "I wouldn't signthed petition" II j ') i Capacity Crowd Enjoys Symphony A crowd of over 600 people of all ages gathered Wednesday night at DeltaHighSchoolaudi-torium DeltaHighSchoolaudi-torium to thrill to the sounds of the Utah Symphony, conducted con-ducted by Ardean Watts.
