Addition of five extra helpers Wednesday brought the total of holiday special employes to 20. Heaviest work of the p re-Christmas rush In sorting and carrying mail is to begin today when in coming man will probably take a big jump. Either Salem residents are not mailing aa many intra-city greet ings this season as formerly or they are slower than nsnal; post office officials agree that this por tion of the business has not ap proached that of previous years. Warning that flood conditions in this state and Washington as well as storm troubles elsewhere will considerably check mail transportation and delivery. Post master John H. Farrar is urging that parcel and greetings even for nearby points be mailed at once. Although lines at the parcel post and stamp windows of the postofflce yesterday and Tuesday were, shorter than those of Mon day, when ths crowd could not be accommodated within the build ing, clerks were kept constantly busy and most of the day at least 10 persons were standing fei line. Farrar said he expected approxi mately the same business today. A. C. Anderson, president of th-e organization known before and daring the recent special legislation session as the Farm ers and Truck Owners' Protec tive association, last night an nounced that he and ' his msny associates would keen their ot- up Intact and continue to serve truck operators as an Informa tion nurean.

"We are urging our members to comply with the new truck law, which we feel has worth while changes from the old. and send In reports of their mileage rrom October 20 as agreed with the state supervisor of transpor tation," Anderson added.

Schools Rush for CWA Money; Sales Tax Income Eyed Schools throughout the county are making plans to modernize their plants and to provide- em ployment throagh the use of CWA funds, Mrs. Mary L. Fulkerson. county superintendent, reported yesterday. She said that a number of school directors were busy figur ing the amount of funds they would receive if the sales tax be comes law. Quite uniformly the rural districts are discovering their receipts would be much greater under this tax than under a direct levy on property since the richer, more populous dis tricts would be forced to distrib ute their surplus portion of the tax on sales to th poorer areas.
