Christmas trees fragrant and green
during the entire holiday season
with the aid of a chemical solution.
To make the solution, mix 5 grams
of citric acid and 6 grams of malic
acid in three quarts of water. Stand
the tree in a wide-mouthed bottle
or crock which holds about a gallon.
then add about is grams Of calcium
carbonate to the acid solution, and
pour the whole solution into the
crock. AS the tree uses up the solut-
ion, add more water. These chem
icals are not expensive. The solution
will be helpful for most of the spec
les of evergreens used for Christmas
trees, excepting hemlock. The bal
sam fir will hold its needles in the
house without any treatment, but
spruce needles drop in a few days
if the tree is not treated.
The trees should be treated as
soon as possible after it is cut or
purchased. To facilitate absorption
of the liquid, a short section should
be cut off the base of the tree trunk
so that fresh wood will be exposed.
The tree should be placed in a cool
place for several days while it is
absorbing the liquid.
TIPS ON PREPARING NATIVE
CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS
/. Preparing cones for buring at
Christmas time.
Use two tablespoons of powdered
glue in one gallon of water. Dip the
pine burrs and drain. Sprinkle the
chemicals on them and let dry.
Chemicals Color Flame
Strontium Chloride FED
Barium Sulphate -- green
Copper Sulphate (blue stone) blue
Potassium Chloride - lavender
Sodium Chloride (table salt) yellow
Steel dust, saved when tools are
being filed, sprinkled on the burrs
makes them sparkle when burned.
2. To preserve magnolia leaves.
2 parts water, / part %glycerine.
Method: put stems, only, in the mix
ture. Let stay two weeks. Take out,
then they will last indefinitely.
3. To prevent holly from shedding.
Spray holly twigs with a .01 percent
solution of Naphthalene-acetic acid.
The leaves will remain firm after
the twigs are dead and dried out.
4. Preserving color in evergreens.
Color in cedar or pine is preserved
by soaking branches in a strong sol
ution of sulphate of ammonia
Ordinary commercial fertlizer.) Use
| quart fertilizer to 2 gallons water.
This is a nice way to treat a Christ
mas tree. Let it stand in the solution
over night or two or three days.

LOWER AIRMAIL RATES
 INCREASES AIRMAIL VOLUME

Inauguration of the new five cent American Flag rate for air mail on October 1 has brought sharp rise in air mail volume, re ports Postmaster E. R. Sharnbroich at the local post office.
 1 The Post Office Department has taken a leaf from the book of Am erican business, reducing the air mail rate from eight cents to five cents an ounce and simultaneously offering better and faster service. l The Post Office has borrowed the proven principle, Sharnbroich said, that by getting more customers for a good product at a reduced cost the unit cost of delivery is cut. A lower price requires one thing to succeed - larger volume.
 A thorough test of the five cent rate for air mail is being made during National Air Mail week | from October 27 to November g. The Post Office Department. in announcing that greater rolume f air mail is required to make the lower rate practicable has asked for the support of every commun- ity in stimulating the use of air mail, Sharnbroich pointed out.
 Postmaster Sharnbroich also an nounced that air mail figures from the local post office are be- ing reported to Washington for study along with other offices in the same class.
 We are anxious to make a good showing, not only as a matter of local pride, but to do our part in prompting a rate which should be beneficial to the country's com merce.' said Postmaster Sharn- broich.
 Air mail volume has increased locally to point where direct pouch of air mail is dispatched daily to the air mail field at Seat tie. This pouch is sent north to Jul neau and tranfsererd to a PA A plane. Weather permitting, the pouch leaving Wrangell one noon arrives in Seattle late in the after. noon of the next day. Incoming air mail is also received in dir ect pouch from air mail field ir Seattle = flown to Juneau by PAA and transferred there to Alaska Coastal or Ellis plane to bt brought to Wrangeu.

NATIONAL AIR MAIL WEEK TO BE OBSERVED FROM
 OCT. 27 TO NOV 2

The week of October 27 to Nov
 omber ? has been designated as
 National Air Mail Week for the U. s. Post Office Department. The
 week has been set aside for lhe purpose of commemorating and bringing to the attention of the public the inauguration of the new five cent United States flag rate. which was inaugurated on October l, 1946. This five cent air mail rate extends to any place where the Amercian flag flies, including .all U. s. possessions. It is also ap- plicable to the Armed Forces a. broad and to Canada and Mexico.
 From 1910 until 1916 much dis cusSion was had by members uf Congress, business men and the pioneers of the air industry rela- tive to the feasibility of air mail service. In 1918 the first air mail route was established between New York and Washington, D. c. At that time the War Department fur nished planes and pilots and con .ducted all flight operations. Later on the Post Office Department took over the operation. Tn 1919 the first leg of the first transcon- tinental air mail route was estab- lished from Cleveland, Ohio, to Chicago. From this small begin ming there are now 75,745 route miles of domestic air mail service.
 The first foreign air mail serv- ice was established between Seat tie. Washington, and Victoria, E. C.. on October 14, 1920, a distance of "A miles The purpose of this service was to expedite the delivery Of important mails to and from ships arriving and departing from Victoria to the Orient. This route was flown for many years by Ed die Hubbard. now deceased, one of the aeronautical pioneers of the northwest.
 From this small beginning fore ign air mail has extended to some 211,702 route miles, of which 117,- 294 have been added since January 1, 1945.
 All of this development of air mail, both domestic and foreign, brings out the fact that the Post Office Department has always been a pioneer in transportation the foot carrier, the riders of the post roads, the stage coach, the pony express, the steamboat, the iron horse, the automobile, the airplane, the autogyro, the pickup air serv- ice, and recently experimental ser vice by helicopter-every improy- ed method of expediting communi- cations between sender and ad- dressee.
