Plans Completed
For Community
Christmas Treat
Free Movies Shown
AT Noble Theatre
Only December 20

Hundreds of smaller kiddies
were on hand, Saturday after
noon at 200 o'clock when Santa
Claus made his first official visit
to Caldwell and Noble county.
His arrival in a convertible
coupe was very impressive with
music being furnished by the
Caldwell high school band. The
parade was headed by the little
used police motorcycle and men,
bers of the Caldwell fire depart
ment.
Santa Claus greeted the kiddies
on the east side of the courthouse
where platform had been con-
structed for his convenience and
that of the children. All received
a candy treat.
The annual community treat
for all children will be held Sat-
urday, December 20, beginning
promptly at 200 o'clock. Two
free shows will be given at the
Noble theatre only this year, ac-
cording to c. of c. officials.
Little Eddie Hanes of Summer
field, who is probably five years
old, had his letter all ready for
Santa Claus. 1t was written in
capital letters, exactly as fol-
lows:
DEAR, SANTA, l, WANT,
FARM, SET. A, BIG, TRUCK. 1,
Am, A, GOOD, BOY. From Eddy,
Hanes, down, in, Summerfield,
Ohio.
Caldwell merchants have been
very lax in decorating their
stores this year and it was said
locally that Caldwell would run
very poor second to neighbor-
ing Byesville, where every street
and individual store is glittering
with the yuletide season"
1t has been suggested that
every business place in Caldwell,
not otherwise decorated, should
make it a point to have a Christ
mas tree in front of their store.
There would be at least "a such
lighted trees and it would do
much to dress up the square.
Plans are also being made to
have four elevated lighted
Christmas trees on the four sides
of the square. One has already
been installed on top the K. g.
r. service station. 1t is planned to
put another on the Standard Oil
station, the Sinclair station and
possibly the fourth on the porch
of Landaker's bakery.
City employees of the light de-
partment were busy the first part
of the week completing the wir-
ing necessary for decorations
around the public square.

Postal Officials
Urge Cooperation
I'm Xmas Mailinu
Postmaster Cecil
Makes Suggestions
For Yuletide Mailing

Every year at Christmas time,
the Post Office department en-
ployes take beating.
To make their task at this time
of year bit lighter and at the
same time to make sure the pack
ages reach their destination on
time and in one piece, Caldwell
Postmaster Woodrow E. Cecil
makes few suggestions to the
mailing publics
Avoid last-minute mailing OF
both packages and cards. For out
of state delivery, cards should
be mailed not later than Dec. Is
and for local delivery, at least a
week before Christmas. Gift
packages should be mailed by
Dec. 10 to out of state destina-
tions. For local delivery, pack
ages should be in the mail by
Dec. 18.
Last-minute mailing is only
one of the problems faced by the
post offlce people.
Take care in wrapping the
packages, using heavy wrapping
paper for the outside. Always
bind the package with a strong
cord. do not open until Christ
mas" stickers or seals may be
placed on the back of the pack
age as long as they do not inter
fere with the address. The ad-
dress should be written again
inside for emergency purposes.
The address should be written
or printed very plainly. Many
packages with hastily written ad-
dresses never reach their destina-
ton.
1t is recommended that Christ
mas cards be mailed first class.
A three cent stamp entities each
Christmas card to be forwarded
if the addressee has moved or be
returned to the sender if the ad-
dressee cannot be located Cards
may also carry written messages
in addition to the signature of the
sender if sent first-clasS.
When a large amount of cards
are mailed at once, it helps LOT
if the out of town cards are in
one bundle and the local address
es facing one way and all stamps
in the upper right hand corner.
Last minute gifts should be
sent by air parcel post to distant
points.

ment made today by William H.
Archer, chairman of the PIMA for

Chairman Archer said that it
is the responsibility of each

on his farm.
Farmers are being asked to re-
port practices as soon as COM
pleted and to bring receipts for
material purchased by him.
Purchase orders for lime and
fertilizer cannot be issued after
