.. 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

Civilian Cage Fans
May Attend Marine
Games Unescorted
According to word received
from the Marine Barracks this
morning, civilian fans desiring to
come to the marine-Astoria navy
basketball games Wednesday
and Thursday nights will not
need to be escorted oy a marine,
as has been the policy of the
post.
Both games are scheduled to
begin at 8 p. m. in the barracks'
gym. Tomorrow night's tilt will
be the second on the leather
necks' slate. 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.
