Mailing Deadlines Are Slipping Past, Postmaster Says Patrons of the local post of-fice are reminded that many mailing deadlines have passed and many are approaching. Postmaster Robert Comaby said that parcels going to local or nearby areas should be mail-ed by Dec. 13. Greeting cards going to dis-tant slates should be mailed not later than Dec. 12. Cards going to local and nearby ar-eas should be mailed by Dec. 15, at the latest. Postmaster Cornaby also em-phasized the importance of us-ing ZIP Code and adding a re-turn address to all Christmas mail. It only takes a couple of extra seconds, but pays big dividends. Patrons are requested to have a house number and a suitable receptacle. Regulations require that paths and aproach-e- s to rural mail boxes be kept clear. Mail deposited in rural boxes must have postage stamp already affixed. "Don't take a chance on dis-appointing someone you love," the postmaster said. Send your gift parcels and cards early enough to insure their delivery before Christmas, not after, he added. Check Up Your Car Now for Safe Winter Drive "A chek-u- p now can save a substantial check and a delay for emergency services," Leo H. Barlow, vice president for traffic of the Utah Safety Coun-cil, today warned drivers. Barlow offered the following check-lis- t as a predictable way to combating unpredictable weather. Have a qualified profession-al check the mechanical and safety equipment condition of your points, plugs .timing and battery. A complete brake and exhaust system check is in or-der at this time of year. Be sure all lights are work-ing. Headlights must be prop-erly aimed and all lenses kept clean. Tires must have good treads. Equip your car now for the winter season with snow tires or studded tires. Check and re-pair any broken links in your old tire chains. Pre-chec- k your defroster before you need it. Carry emergency equipment in your trunk booster cables, tow chains, flares or reflectors, tire chains, a shovel and trac-tion aids sand, cinders, rock salt, traction mats or pieces of old carpet.

We have to count Sundays this year, since most of the big hawkers operate on a "Hell with Sunday" basis. And, al-most around the clock.. Oh well, a fortnight is time enough, if our readers will fol-low the suggestions outlined in this year's helps to the tired, hungry, and frustrated Christ-mas shoppers, The service is free, complimnts of this column To begin with, let's start with the head of the house, so called. For him we suggest a sphyom-omanomete- r. It's a gadget by means of which a person can take his own blood pressure. By using this valuable item, Daddy can tell the family, "I've had enough," and have the official figures to back him up. For Mom there is a flash-light, siren and dog collar that glows in the dark. Since it's always up to her to walk the dog, especially at night, this combination helps her to spot Fido if he breaks his leash and escapes in the night. Also the siren is handy to have to fend off muggers and alert the pol-ice, only $5.50. If Mary Ann is a member of the "In Set," no doubt she is always doing her thing. For her the vendors offer a "Thing-make- r Kit." All she needs to do is to fill the contraption with the dough included, turn the crank and out comes a thing. No two alike, and a steal at $2.97. Is Junior too young to drive, but raising cain for a car? For him we suggest the "Krazy Kar." He sits between two h vheels, goes forward, backward or spins around. Guaranteed to lay rubber on the carpet and bust up furni-ture. Only $12.88 plus taxes. For Momma's Little Helper, there is "Tubsy in Her Own Bathtub." Lifelike naked baby doll and a tub that holds 5 gallons of rose-scente- d water. Wonderful when Mom was just going to mop the floor any-way. One-hal- f off at $4.99. Is Grandpa so lonesome that he talks to himself? If so, we suggest a Talking Telephone. Select a message, dial the num-ber, speak and get an answer right back, $4.77 without bat-teries. For the small boy, who likes to drive nails, there's the "Bang Box," including nails and hammer. Drive a nail into the box, a balloon inside goes bang. $2.97 pays for 50 bal-loons, also. Now for the people you hate, but have to be remembered because they always send you something, there's the best ev-er. It's called "Gradual De-spair." It's an adult puzzle in-volving interlocking and inter-changeable shapes and pieces. There are no instructions and the puzzle has never been sol-ved yet. Your fair weather friends will spend hours cur-sing you. Pay whatever you think its worth. For the people who have everything, there's a "caviar cooler." Whether the recipients go for fish eggs or not, they will appreciate a gift made of English lead crystal and sterl-ing silver. A mere $45 plus add ons. There they are folks, and this year there's really some-thing for everybody. Best of all, a $100.00 loan from the Friendly Money Store will cover the entire lot, plus a few cups of Tom and Jerry. Happy shopping to all and So long 'till Thursday. i 4,, ., g iMaii' iiai r " 'fwtm a- t- t PART OF DECORATORS This Cub Pack was only part of the Cub Scouts who partic ipated in the decorating of the Community Christmase tree last Saturday afternoon. Primary Leader Thanks Cub Scouts, Leaders For Tremendous Job of Xmas Tree Decoration Lena Wilson, Timpanogos Stake Primary president said Tuesday that she would like to take an opportunity to thank the Cub Scouts and Cub Scout leaders of the Timpanogos Dis-trict, for the tremendous job they did in decorating the community Christmas tree. She said all the deorations are un-ique and special in that they are all cub scout made. Even though the day was cold, the hearts of everyone was warm-ed by the response, the spirit, and the enthusiasm of the Cub Scouts. Mrs. Wilson also thanked Greg West and Tom Wilson, who assisted the Cubs. These boys were patient and helpful for the three and a half hours the project took. Mrs. Wilson also thnked the Chamber of Commerce for pro-viding the opportunity for this Cub Scout project, now in its second year. Mrs. Wilson also stated that PI. Grove residents should take pride in our beautiful tree. It is, in a true sense, she said, a 'Community Christmas Tree' and if you haven't yet seen a young man point with pride to "his" own decoration on the tree, you've missed a real treat. Dr. John R. Bourne Promoted to Colonel in Reserve Dr. John R. Bourne, of PI. Grove, was recently promoted to the rank of Colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve. Col. Bourne enlisted in the Utah National Guard in 1928 in his father's 145th Field Artil-lery Regiment.
