 Christmas Rush at Post Office
 That the continued warning of the post office authorities has been needed, Is indicated by the fact that already the pressure Of stamp-buy- ing has made it necessary for Post master Frank s.

 Arrangements have been com plcted for taking care of the extra business of the post office for the and nine extra men have been engaged and will be retained until after Christmas. One additional parcel post truck has also been put into service.
 PlaInville to Decide
 At q special meeting of the voters of the Fall Mountain school district on Friday night at 8 o'clock, efforts will be made to get a decision from the Plainyille board of school visitors as disinterested parties to decide upon @ location for a new school and break the deadlock which has cXsited in the district for some time, Fractional differences in the district have prevented for two years the providing of additional school facilities as requested by both state and local boards of education until November, when some progress was made and 1t was voted to ap- propriate $l0,000 for a new school. Another deadlock was reached when the matter of deciding upon a site was reached. A number in the dis trict believed that the new school should be erected upon land offered to the district by Harry S. Beals, near the log cabin, instead upon the site of the present school. The two- thirds vote to change the site, as required by law, was lacking and no site was decided upon before the ad. journment of the meeting.
 That outside assistance is to be invoked in the matter of deciding upon a site is shown in the call for the meeting on Friday night as is- sued by D. Clark Hare, district com- mitteeman which reads in part as follows:: flor the purpose of passing all votes necessary to request the board of school visitors of the town of piainville 10 fix site for a new school house to be erected In pursu- anco of the vote passed by said dis trict at a special meeting held on the third day of November. 1925"
