convenience of people who find
it difficult to go to the post office

The postmaster highlignted the
rising food of Christmas mail with
the statement that $4,000 cancel
lations were handled in the post
office Monday; that over 10000
cent and a half and three cent
stamps were sold Tuesday; and

Christmas wrappings are just as
important as the gift achieving
the "just for you" touch. And
original, festive packages can be
wrapped and tied at practically no
additional cost for paper and rib
bon. .-. ~
It's the unexpected that's usually
greeted with delight. Build up a
colorful effect by pasting some
Of the pictures from last years
Christmas cards on the wrapp-
ing paper. Leftover wall paper
also makes surprisingly affective
Christmas whappings.
Another way to add color and
gaiety to that Christmas package
is to use a sprig of something
from the woods, a cluster Of fir
cones, bit of evergreen or holly.
Strings of popcorn or cranberries
over the top Of package will
add q touch of the unusual.
Odds and ends from the sew
ing box-bits of ribbon or color
full yarn-make interesting ties.
Twisted stripes of crepe paper, or
raffia can also be used to tie
up the package. -. ~.

A Gentle Reminder
Since 1904, when the National
tuberculosis Association was
founded, TB has been forced
down from the leading cause Of
death in this country to seventh
place.
There are three things that
you, as an individual, can do t.
help in the fight against TB.
Arrange to have your chest X
rayed regularly, see to it that
every member Of your family
does the same, and buy Christmas
seals.

Chauvire.
Mile. Chauvire dominates the
stage without half trying, even when
the choreography demands that she
spend a considerable part of her
stage time directly behind her male
partner. As the shadow in Les
Mirages," Chauvire dances in the
modern genre and her movements
are precise and emphatic. When
she returns to the stage in the in
tricate Suite En- Blanc" she comes
near to classical perfection in her
balance and control.
In addition to Chauvire's polished
performance. the other dancers in
the large company show their years

compensate for some uninspired
