Mr.. Schoenhoff called attention
to the fact that postal employees
will not work on Christmas day
again this year, pointed out that
Christmas cards mailed two or
three weeks early will be held for
delivery until one or two days be-
fore Christmas, and gave directions
for wrapping, packing, and mailing

During the holiday time the
volume of mail increases 200 per
cent" said Mr.. Schoenhoff. at is
a physical impossibility to handle
this great mass of mail matter eff
ficiently and promptly within few
days. Therefore to assure delivery
of their Christmas presents, cards,
and letters by Christmas Day, the
public should shop and mail early.
Do your Christmas shopping so that
you can mail your gifts, greetings,
and letters to relatives, friends, and
loved ones at least a week or 10
days before Christmas, according
to the distance. This will not only
make it certain that they are re-
ceived on or before Christmas Day,
but will he a great aid to your

Christmas cards, say 10 or more,
should prepare and mail them two

lions are mailed and they can not

Caution in Winter Driving
Urged by Highway Dept.
Allow for Storms and Delays in
Planning Long Trips, Advice
to Motorists

In times of peace prepare for
war. In fair weather prepare for
storms.
The advice is especially apple
able to those planning long motor
trips this time of the year, says a
State Highway bulletin. Fall
weather and road conditions have
been unusually favorable for tour
ing, but the bulletin urges all
long distance drivers to be ready
for the changes in weather which
may come very suddenly in the
winter months in Minnesota.
The department is better pre-
pared than in any former year to
open the roads quickly after a
storm. While most of the main
tenance men work on a part time
basis in winter, there are $500
men subject to call when needed
to clear the roads of snow. The
department has total of $50
speed plows, Is rotaries, and about
70 tractor plows. The truck tract
or plows are well distributed
among the section men for. quick
work after a storm, and the rotar,
les are placed where they may be
sent to any part of the district to
cut deep drifts which the other
plows cannot open. The snow
fence totals 3,04S,000 feet, 20
per cent more than last year.
Nevertheless, the department
warns that highways cannot al
ways be kept open during snow
storm, or opened Immediately af-
ter a storm. Usually it is futile to
do any blowing during the storm,
as this leaves ridges which catch
more snow and make more work
for the snow fighters. 1t also
wears out men and equipment. By
waiting until the storm abates, men
and machines are fresh and ready
for the big job of opening the
highways.
Persons planning long trips,
even though the sky is clear and
the ground bare, are urged to car
ny chains, a shovel, and other
equipment which may be needed in
case of a heavy snow. They are
also advised to have their ma
chimes in condition for sudden
drops in temperature. Carrying ex-
ira clothing for emergency use is
also advised.
The bulletin also advises against
night driving when there is heavy
snow or any sign of storm ap.
preaching. If car should be
stuck in a snow bank, it is usually
much more difficult to find aid OF
shelter at night than in the day
time.
The department will do every
thing possible to keep traffic NOV,
ing and open roads as quickly a.
possible when snow comes, but
Commissioner C. M. Babcock EN-
phasizes that he cannot promise
to keep all the roads open all the
time, and that travellers should b.
prepared for possible delays. The

at the special session promised by PresidentElect
Hoover very soon after his Inauguration, which can
become operative in ample thine to handle the

an ambitious one as can be seen by the following
highlights from his message:
