16 A MEOFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MSDFORD, ORE. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1960 Jobholder Turnover Seen Extensive Under Kennedy Administration Postal Department Gives Suggestions On Proper Wrapping of Packages Washington - (UPB-With the Christmas holidays just around the corner,, the post office department has some suggestions to make sure that gift parcels arrive undamaged. Poor packaging accounts for more breakage and spoil' age in shipment than any other factor. But the post of fice often gets blamed nny way. When a parcel arrives in battered condition, some per sons jokingly accuse the de partment of ''hiring a man to jump on all packages. The Federal Register, pub' lished by the government, lists revised rules and regula tions to assure the safe arrival of fragile and easily damaged items. Along with the sugges tions, the post office warns that It reserves the right to exclude from the mall cer tain types of badly packaged merchandise. Stronger Containers Needed The department suggests that packages sent to more distant points need stronger containers. This is true be cause the parcel receives more handling on its way to a dis tant point than a package ad dressed to a nearby destina tion, I ' Size of the container also is an important factor. If the container is too large, the contents might shift in trans it; if It Is too s m a 1 1, there won't be room enough for pro tective inside cushioning. Overstuffed cartons frequent ly burst before arriving at their destination. Adequate cushioning keeps the goods inside from bump ing against the sides of the carton in which they are ship ped. In addition to protecting against outside impact, cush ioning also protects items in side from damaging one an other, If two or more items are in the same box. Cushioning Suggested Among the materials which can be used for cushioning arc excelsior, flexible corrugated cardboard, felt, cotton, cloth ing, ' tissue paper, shredded newspaper, and even popcorn. The government conducted tests with popcorn as a cush ioning agent and found It use ful in certain cases, especially in packing delicate electronic gear. But shredded newspaper is still the handiest and most popular material for packii.g fragile Items. For maximum safety, stuff about two inches of cushion- only when stiffening material Ing material on all sides of the object and make sure that there can be no shifting or movement. -Wrap several fra gile items separately before packing in the same case. Revised Rules Told The post office's revised rules and regulations also in clude the following: - Heavy paper can be used as an outside wrapping pro vided it Is tied with twine. Thin paper bags are not ac ceptable as da outside wrap per. - Self contained articles may be mailed without out side packaging but the post office will not be responsible if the surface or finish be comes marred. - A sturdy fiberboard car ton, in good condition need not be wrapped. Concerning outside mark ings, the post office emphatic ally encourages use of appro priate labels. Glass, china ware, electrical appliances, jewelry and musical instru ments must be marked "fra gile" by the mailer. Markings Superfluous Phrases like "do not bend" or "do not fold" may be used is used to protect the con tents. Words like "rush" or "do not delay" can be used only on special delivery ship ments or on mail intended for special handling. The department cautions that all other markings and labels are superfluous, unnec essary and forbidden Mining Council To Hear Faye Bristol The Northwestern Mining council will meet Thursday Dec. 1, at 8 p.m. at Jackson ville Community hall.

Mrs. A. j. - She's five-by-five and missing all the teen age fun. Lucille J. - My only joy in life is eating. Mrs. A. J. - I'm at my wit's end about Lucille. She's 15, a junior in high school, and on such an eating jag that I can hardly keep her in clothes. Nothing seems to help. Her physical education teacher spoke to her and gave her a diet, I clip articles and pic tures out of the papers and hang them around the house to inspire her. I make non fattening" chocolate pudding for her as a treat. But she slips into the kitchen later and eats a whole jar of peanut butter or a full box of potato chips. I took her to our doctor. He found her 80 pounds over weight! He tried to scare her into reducing, and gave her some medicine to help the fat burn up faster, and take away her appetite. Now I find the medicine just standing aroundl She's not interested. She actually seems to want to look this way. Next year she'll be a senior. That's the time young girls have so much fun. But at this rate Lucille will just be looking on. ' ; t Lucille J. -J My mother doesn't understand that I'm satisfied. Some girls get hap piness from clothes and boys and dates. I get mine from food. I enjoy my friends, and my dog, and my job on the school paper and lots of other things. But I get my best lift from eating. Why is a girl's figure so important? I'm not trying to be Miss America or a model I don't see why I must look any special way just because the fashion people' say so. In some parts of the world It's fine to be fat. If I lived in those lands, people would leave me alone. Maybe I could reduce if had a good reason. But I feel fine. And in a square dance I m as light on my feet as the next one. Of course, when the call is "swing your part ner," I don't wait to be swung. I swing myself! I'm not worried about sit ting out the Senior Prom and the parties next year. I'm thinking of more serious things, like - getting into good college. The Council: Lucille musl be holped to see that she has many kinds of hunger, all re quiring different kinds of food. Yet she makes the mis take of trying to quiet all the hungers with food intended to quiet only the physical. So far as her other needs go, she could eat every hour on the hour and they d still be starved! Lucille sounds like an un happy child who has just giv en up. She finds it easier to retreat into a wall of fat, and then surround the wall with fine-sounding defenses. Per haps Mrs. J., plus the physi cal education teacher, the guidance teacher in Lucillc's school and the, doctor, can probe more Into what's eating Lucille rather than what Lu cillc's eating! We assume that the doctor has ruled out any major physi cal cause for Lucille's obesity. Even when hereditary or glandular factors are present, restraint in eating is prescrib ed. But Lucille can't restrain her appetite because, as she Indicates, she sees no good reason. Here are a few. No matter what she says, Lucille looks on hungrily while her friends engage in normal boy-girl so- Key Government Positions Under Intensive Study Washington -(UPI)- The turn over in federal Jobholders may be far more extensive under the administration of President-elect Kennedy than origi nally indicated by his person nel specialist, it has been learned. Architects of the new ad ministration are intensifying their study of key government positions. The first appoint ments of major Kennedy ad ministration officials will be announced this week and next week. The President-elects press secretary, Pierre Salinger, called a news conference to announce what he termed "hard news." The news will not involve appointments. Sal lnger may disclose new stud ies ordered by Kennedy, not necessarily involving person nel matters. 1,800 Jobs Open Kennedy and his chief ad visers in planning the transi tion of government from Re publican to Democratic con trol have given priority to filling about 1,800 top federal policy jobs, ranging from the cabinet down to "schedule C, a classification of approxi mately 1,200 federal positions which may be filled by presi dential appointment. United Press International learned from within the Ken nedy planning staff, however, that the new administration is studying thousands of federal posts within the normal ca reer classifications of the Civil Service system. Job for Brother? The possibility of a high government post for Kenne dy's brother, Robert, remain ed an open question after the two men conferred Sunday for the first time since shortly af ter the election. Bob Kennedy, the President elect's campaign manager told reporters after talking with his brother that the question of a top federal job for him "still is a wide open matter and we have not reached a de cision one way or another." Bobby said he expected to discuss the subject extensive ly this week with the incom ing chief executive. Bobby said several weeks ago he .did not think it was proper for him to take a job in his broth er's administration. Kennedy also discussed ap pointments in his administra- Kennedy Unworried By GOP Efforts Washington - (UPD - President-elect Kennedy says he is not worried by GOP efforts to get vote recounts in sev eral states because he has In formation "that the count has been accurate." . If the ballots from the Nov. 8 election have been tabulated correctly, "you can count them any number of timqs" without changing the out come, he told reporters Mon day night. Although voicing confi dence that GOP-inspired re counts would not upset his narrow victory over Vice President Richard M. Nixon, Kennedy said he favored re counting ballots whenever "they ought to be counted" so the public would have full confidence in the results. The latest UPI tabulation showed Kennedy leading Nixon by about 175,000 popu lar votes. Kennedy had 300 electoral votes and Nixon 223.

Instead of meeting this hunger by trying to be come more gregarious and at tractive, Lucille cats a dozen eclairs. This may bring her temporary solace, but it makes her even less attractive. Also, she'll have trouble with college entrance. Obesity is now viewed as evidence of an illness. And, once admit ted, she'll find it hard to keep up with the pace usually re quired. Above all, Lucille must be led to self-knowledge so that she stops feeding loneliness, frustration and depression with triple - scoop banana splits. (Copyright I960, General Features Corp.)
