Postmaster Earl F. Reeb said
this week that "it has been nee
essary to add thirty men to our
force to take care of the in
creasing deluge of first class
mail and parcel post, which is
running far beyond a year ago."
Alfred Beardshear, secretary
of the Newark Chamber of Com
merce, reveals that pre-holiday
business during November was
up over year ago, and up al
most 20 per cent over two years
ago. Reports from merchants"
said Mr.. Beardshear, indicate
greatly increasing Christmas
sales, starting with the parade
held Saturday, Nov. 80. In spite
of the inclement weather on
that day one of Newark's larg-
est retail establishments report
ed sales for that day as equal
to the total of any one week dur
ing the past year"
P. w. Faust, agent of the
Railway Express agency, stated
this week that "our office is set
ting new records in the volume

greatly improved conditions in
many lines of industry and a re-
duction in unemployment"
Christmas Savings clubs to-
taling over 100000 is rated by
many merchants as another of
the big reasons why Christmas
buying this season is up over a
year ago.
Much extra help has been add
ed to the personnel of business
establishments throughout New
ark to take care of the holiday
rush. Stores abound with a great
variety of gift merchandise to
aid the shopper in making selec-
tions.

Christmas Spirit

u A Merry Christmas is in
store for hundreds of under
privileged c h il dren and
needy families in Newark
and Licking county, because
of the combined efforts of a
number of social and civic
agencies, as we'll as church
groups.
r. Christmas parties, dane
es, donations, all requiring
considerable time and effort
on the part of their spon-
sdEs, make possible Santa's
visit to many homes which
otherwise would not be
blessed with his presence.
S%ae of the sponsoring
organizations are working
in cooperation with the
sSey1kral Christmas commit
tea Others are working in
dependently - but all with
the same goal in mind.
Among the groups who
are helping to make the day
lust a little more pleasant
are the Elks lodge with it's
TOY dance, the Licking
County Republican club and
Business and Professional
Women's club parties.
The revenue from the
"Follies of Forty" staged
by the Owens-Corning Fl
berglas club will be used to
help needy families and
children. The Kiwanis,
Lions, and Rotary clubs
have joined forces with
other agencies in the wor-
thyVenterprise, as did the
MoIndbuilders Home Work
shop club in building over
500 toys to be given away.
~ The Kings Daughters,
st. Vincent de Paul society,
assisted by the Knights of
Columbus, Catholic Mothers
club and Catholic Women's
club and all other church
groups of the various de-
nominations, are doing their
bit to contribute to the hap
piness of others during the
Christmas season.
Boy and Girl Scouts, the
k&alvation Army, the YMCA
and other service groups,
have had no small part in
exeending effort that those
le@ fortunate may be made
happy on Christmas Day.
The cooperation of the
foregoing organizations in
this humanitarian effort
convinces us that the spirit
of peace on earth, good
will to men,, has not and
we hope never will, perish
