NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-Scattered
oils and special issues exhibited fur
Their strength in today's stock mar
Iket while many leaders stumbled
over light selling.
Dealings. active at the opening
soon tapered. There were a few
wide jumpers in evidence, but frac-
tiona. irregularity ruled near the
fourth hour.
Professionals inclined to cash In
here and there on the idea that the
list had enjoyed a normal technical
correction, scoring eight successive
sessions without an average loss
Some tax offerings persisted with
relnvestment demand still providing
an offset here. Numerous customers
either trimmed accounts or stood
aside to await possible anti-infia-
ton moves by Washington and more
light on murky foreign affairs.

Since the establishment CT r
+. d. No. 2, effective Feb. /, 1947
to start from Cintwood and go
via Honey Camp, Georges Fork,
Norland, Freeing, Isom and
BrushCreek, there have been so
many false and misleading state
ments made by few people, VINO
possess no knowledge of this kind
OF mail service whatsoever, with
nothing more in mind than self
lsh interest, that I feel it my du-
ty to make some explanation to
the people as to the kind oil ser
vice rendered by rural free de-
livery mail routes, since can
speak with some authority, hay
ing had twelve years experience
In handling both star routes and
rural free delivery routes.
RID mail carriers deliver to
the boxes of patrons on their
routes all classes of mail, includ-
ing registered letters and c.. O. D.
packages. You can pay to the car
riers all charges on same, just as
you pay post master. You can
buy your stamps, money orders,
postal savings and u S bonds
through your rural free delivery
carrier. The carrier collects from
the mail boxes on the route and
delivers to the post office for
mailing all mail matter deposited
therein. Can your small offices on
the route render you this service?
There is only one answer. NO.
l am not speaking to you thru
any selfish motive, and there is
no personal gain in the matter 10
me. The only thought I have in
mind is to give the people the
most modern and up-to-date ser
vice that they are entitled to.
This service does not cost any
one anything. The RID is a post
office coming to you on wheels.

Yes, Virginia, there 10 Santa
Claus but his bag of gifts this
year is rs up to the minute as q jet
plane. Santa is nobody's fool. He
knows Virginia's little heart will
beat faster when she sees her new
doll. Santa also knows Yirginia's
Christmas tree will be a wisely
dressed tree, because it will have
tucked onto its branches crisp new
United States Savings Bonds. Long
after Virginia's dolly has hobbled
down the sentimental road of yes
teTday, Virginia's Savings Bonds
will be with her to make her future
Chrlstmases brighter and happier.
