Cottage Grove Gas Co, Granted 20-Year Franchise by Voters The period October 15 to No vember 15 has again been desig nated for the acceptance of Christmas parcels for members of our Armed Forces serving outside the continental United States, ac cord i n g to Postmaster Sam Veatch. Patrons are advised that military personnel are well sup plied with food by the Armed Services and that parcels contain ing /foodstuff subject to spoilage and breakage in transit are likely to reach overseas destination unfit for use. The importance of mailing Christmas parcels during the des ignated period cannot be empha sized too strongly, Veatch stated, the earlier the better. The public can be reasonably assured that parcels mailed through the regu lar surface mails prior to Novem ber 15 will reach their destina tions before Christmas. However, no assurtt^ce can be given that surface parcels mailed after No vember 15. or air mail [»arcels mailed after December 1, will be delivered in time for Christmas. Senders are cautioned not to de lay the mailing of parcels until December on the assumption that timely delivery will be assured through the use of air mail ser vice. In addition to the large vol ume of Christmas mail, it is neces sary that medical and military supplies be given the highest pri ority on the overseas airlift. Parcels destined for Japan Ko rea. and the islands of the Pacif ic should be mailed as early as possible, preferably not later than November 1. Parcels for the Navy and Marine Corps personnel serv- areas ing in the most remote should be mailed not later than October 15.

Senior Girl Scouts of Cottage Grove is Who Benefits As to the question of who bene fits from the United Appeal, Mis ner stated that indirectly, but in a very real sense, everyone lame nts. The good works made pos sible by UA funds are of im measurable worth to everyone who makes Lane County his home. There is no price tag on good citizenship, he added. "However, a specific answer to the question is BOYS and GIRLS,” declared Misner. "About 70 per cent of the Lane Chest budget gees to the Boy and Girl Scouts, YM and YWCA.

Of the remaining 30 per cent, a large share «of it is for welfare work among infants, chil dren, young men and women and of course the Red Cross, which includes the First Aid and Water Safety, assistance to service men and women with the Armed Forces, their Home Service ac- tivitieg and the Blood program. to attend the Senior Round Up to be held in the summer of 1956 at Highland Park.
