Deadline For Christmas Mail Set December 15 All Christmas mall, both do mestic and. forelgn.snouia De in .. Iho post office by uecemoer 10, to Insure delivery by Christmas, "y Burt E. Hawkins, Klamath Falls postmaster announced today. Plans for extra help during the holiday .season are usually made the first week In Decem ber Hawkins said, when it is easier to determine just how much help will be needed. It is probable, he said, that extra help this year will number the name as tne war years wnen tne Modoc Group To Be Feted Plans were completed today for Klamath's entertainment of Modoc county defense council members and their wives on Saturday night, at an Informal social gathering at the Pelican cafe party room.

They dropped the opener to the University of Ore gon Webfoots 46-37 last Friday. College Fraternities Will Reopen Chapters SALEM, Nov. 27 (VP) College fraternities plan to reopen many of their war-closed chapters this year, and to establish new chap ters at many colleges through out the country, President G. Herbert Smith of Willamette university said today. Dr. Smith returned yesterday from New York where he attend ed the annual meeting of the inter-fraternity council. He said additional fraternities would be needed to take care of war veterans who will attend college under the GI bill of rights. ME1 mailing was tremendous for Christmas, as the post office has been operating short-handed during the past "year. At n resent there are 80 regu- lar employes and it is expected 30 more will be added to assist the public every way possible eo expedite We Handling oi Holi day mailing. Extra H.lp Extra help is usually used on the package delivery trucks and witn tne tool-carrier crews, Pick-UDs are made by the regu lar crews, following the routine each mail disoatch. Very little Christmas mall has been received to date Hawkins said and reminded people to follow sensible practices in mailing packages. Articles should be wrapped with stout paper and cord, stamped with the correct designations, such as "Glass," "Fragile,1' "Crush able" and "Handle With Care." The address should be on a slip inside the package as well as on the wrapping. Adequate postage should be affixed be fore any pacttage or letter is sent. . Mailing Rush The ' heaviest mailing rush usually occurs late in the after noon, Hawkins advised, so that any one who can, should avoid wasting time and standing in line, by mailing early in the morning. When conditions become too congested one clerk weighs the mail while another takes care of the postage and insurance. Insurance rates are according to value declared. A three cent fee insures packages valued up to and including $5; 10 cents over $5 to $25; 15 cents over $25 to $50; 25 cents over $50 to $200. If a return receipt is re quested it may be had for four cents. These fees are in addi tion to reeular postage. The use of odd size greeting cards and envelopes should be avoided as they will not go through the cancelling machine readily and must be cancelled by hand, causing delay. In no case should cards or envelopes be smaller than 2 34 by 4 inches. Sealed Packagts Sealed packages may not go at parcel post rates unless reading "contents merchandise, this par cel may be opened for postal in spection." Otherwise sealed packages are subject to regular first class or letter rate which is much higher Christmas seals and stickers should not be placed on address side of package or letters. To save time, trouble and trips, Hawkins suggests people start now buying books of stamps to avoid packing the lines at stamp windows during the rush season just ahead. . Loose money should never be sent through the mail unless it is registered. Money orders are available at all U. S. post offices. (Continued from Page One) and adds:' "British authorities first declared their objective (in Java) was to disarm and evacu ate Japanese troops and not to interfere with internal affairs, but they are now FIGHTING BATTLES and the Dutch au thorities are banking on them to restore pre-war DUTCH dom ination." (In America, such a statement by a radio commentator would mean nothing at all, but in Rus sia no broadcaster would dare to make such a statement with out the consent and perhaps the PROMPTING of the Kremlin. In other words, Russia is prob ably putting a finger into the Indonesian affair). THIS thought inevitably oc curs: Whutever the British are doing in Indonesia must be done with OUR CONSENT. And it certainly looks like they are moving -to save the Dutch em pire. What is happening there can hardly be explained in any other way. Are we HELPING to save the Dutch empire? WfHAT are we doing, any " way? What IS our foreign policy? What are we driving at? It is all beginning to look con fusing and alarming to the com mon, ordinary citizen, who is told NOTHING AT ALL. The Pearl Harbor mess, with all the seeming effort to COV ER UP SOMETHING, doesn't make the average uninformed citizen any easier in his mind. Portland Man Found Dead In Apartment PORTLAND, Nov. 27 (P) Mac Wilkins, 45, senior partner of Mac Wilkins, Cole and Weber advertising agency, was found dead in his apartment yesterday and the coroner's office today ordered an autopsy to determine tha cause.
