make it 1877 and that's the way
the score stood throughout the

cold made it difficult to handle
the ball
Breaks" were about evenly
divided between the two teams,
except that Delaware lost lis
yards on 13 penalties, an un-
usually large number. Most of
these were for use of hands on
the offense (holding and back

ing garbage disposal in the city.

concerning persons who throw

street for otner traffic.
The Mayor further stated that
Mr.. Haines, the new owner of
the cab stand, has not made any
such arrangement with the bus
company, so the arrangements
must have been made by the
former owner of the cab stand,
Ned Davis.
The bus line runs between
Delaware, Springfield and Cleve-
land and should be encouraged,
Council members agreed, but a
new stopping place should be

Home Decoration
Prize List Given

Prizes amounting to $120 will
be offered by the MarySville
Chamber of Commerce for the
beSt-decorated homes during the
Christmas season.
Complete details of the con
test have not yet been worked
out, such as names of the judges
or exact dates of the judging.
However, it is planned to fol-
low precinct boundaries in judg-
ing, so that actually, there will
be six contests, with identical
prizes in each.
Thus, homes in the first ward,
for instance, will not compete
with those in Precinct Alb, or any
other section of town. First prize
will be $40 in each ward, with Sc
as second prize and $4 for third.
Judging will extend over a
period of several days, with only
one precinct being judged in an
evening. Time for judging each
will not be announced, other
than it will start about 10 days
or two weeks before Christmas.
Object of this, of course, is to
get the decorations up early and
have them lighted each evening,
to give the town as attractive
appearance as possible, for as
long as practical
II is expected that the winners
will be announced a few days
before Christmas.

Mail Service Cut To
Be Suspended For
Holiday Rush,

taft of about 500 OOO

ular staff of about 100000.
''The holiday mail rush." the
Postmaster General said, will be
handled as it has been handled
every year. There will be plenty
of late window service; parcel
post windows will be kept open on
holidays; and we will make as
many door deliveries every day as
it takes to keep the big volume
moving promptly"
When the House Appropriations
Committee last March directed Mr..
Donaldson to take every step pos
sible to save money" and specific
ally called for fewer home deliver
les, the committee said it anticipa-
ted "some complaints" And COM
plants fOllOwed-in Congress, from
the postal workers unions, and
from some segments of the general
public.
Mr.. Donaldson said he believes
the protests had largely died down
and that although he opposed the
curtailments in the first place, he
did not believe they had seriously
inconvenienced anyone.
For every complaint I received"
he said, 81 got 100 commendatory
letters for the effort to save the
Government some money"
The difference between what Mr..
Donaldson asked and what he got
for 1851 fiscal year postal expenses
was about $70,O0O,OOO. The service
cuts were designed to reduce the
cost Of operations by that amount
and Mr.. Donaldson believes the end
of the year will show this goal
reached. He estimated he was now
saving $28.OOO,OOO a year on the
One-a-day home deliveries alone.

The postal operation is a $4,000

class mail and the postal savings
system actually pay their own
handling expenses.
"The mail volume is currently
running IL per cent ahead of wear

per cent. But greater volume is not
the answer to the deficit" he said.
