Patrons' Aid Sought In Evening Load Of Christmas Mail Although Thanksgiving is not over, evidence that Christmas is just in the offing is seen in the in creased mail arriving at the local postoffice. Confronted with this additional volume, which will reach extended proportions within a short time, James Driscoll, acting post master, has prepared some sugges tions which each and every patron of the post office should accept as rules to follow until after the holi day rush is over. It will take but a minute or so of your time to read them. Here they are: DO NOT FORGET to mail your Christmas gift parcels early. Ex treme care should be used to see that all parcels are securely packed to avoid possible damage by break age, or loss by coming unwrapped. Parcels whose outer wrapping con sists of tissue paper and tied with Christmas ribbons, look nice when sent, but rarely reach their destin ation except in shabby condition. Use good strong cartons, and heavy paper for the outside wrapping. AIRMAIL is now only 5 cents an ounce anywhere in the United States, to our possessions, to Can ada, and to Mexico. USE AIRMAHj for speed. If there is any doubt of your ad dressee's present address, send your Christmas cards with a three cent stamp. Cards mailed with Vi cent stamps cannot be forwarded. Patrons are urged to familiarize themselves with the use of Postal Notes for making remittances up to $10.00. The fees are less than money orders. We can give you faster ser vice at the post office window. The faster we can serve you, the less expense it is to the gpvernmnt This ppst office will remain open all day Saturday, December 7, 14 and 21. Wtih the cooperation of the public in mailing early, we feel that we can handle the rush season without the use of additional tem porary personnel. James H. Driscoll, Acting Postmaster.

With Present Month Wet Final tabulations for October and November were not available from the record kept by Len Gilliam, but it is expected that the month of No vember will pull this section out of the slump and put 1946 in the average column. Should December also prove to be a wet month it could be that precipitation would go a little above the average, which for many years prior to the "war period ran about 12 inches. Up to October 1, a total of 9 99 inches fell in the Heppner area. March, with 2.05 and May with 2.35 were the heavy precipitation months, with June, 1.68, and Sep tember, 152, next in line. August scratched through with a scant .05, while July showed a fall of 23. In January there was .73 and in March 70. October was a comparatively light month but November has been on the damp side. Compared with 1945, this year's record is not so good. A total of 15.64 inches fell last year to hold well above the 10-year average, 1930-1940. Warm winds, commonly referred to as chinooks, have prevailed here, particularly in the territory south of Heppner. Last Friday morning when snow fell from Heppner north, people comng in from the hill country paralleling the moun tains reporting a chinook in pro gress. The snow melted off around Heppner before the warm current struck the territory to the north. During most of this week there has been rain and the creeks are ourr rying quite a heavy run-off.
