The post office is offering two free pamphlets to help solve hol iday mailing problems. Post Of fice Pamphlet No. 2 tells of pack aging and wrapping parcels for mailing.

Use Woodry's Long, Low Easy Terms $1 Gopher Wins0 Battle With New Cement A gopher with a concrete appetite Is giving a Salem construction crew a hard time. The crew , laid a four-inch con crete floor on top of two feet of gravel Tuesday morning at a court apartment construction job at 1867 Highway Ave. NE. Wednesday morning the crew found a gopher sized hole smack in the middle of the floor and neatly ringed with dirt. So, said M. L. Mills, contractor, his crew cemented their friendship with the boring rodent by filling up the hole with concrete. A few hours later they noticed a quiver beneath the semi-hardened con crete. Sure enough, up popped the gopher and gave the crowd a gnawing smile. "What we'll do," said Mills, "is let him have his hole. Then when the building is done we'll take sterner measures."
