Post Office
Open Sunday

Postmaster Joseph S. Frantz
announced today that as an X
ceptional measure to assist last
minute Christmas mailers, stamp
windows at classified postal sta
tions and branches throughout
Cleveland, with the exception Of
Public Square, Uptown and Annex
Stations, will be open for three
hours-1:00 p. m. to 400 p. m,
Sunday, December 18TH.
However, the Main Post Office
will maintain stamp window serv-
ice from noon to 800 p. m. But
the Postmaster hastened to warn
against waiting for Sunday service.
His motto is-"Don't delay. Mail
today to assure delivery before
Christmas" And you can help
ease the pressure b visiting the
post office during the week be-
fore IL a. m. between 1870 and
$3.50 p. m.
"Air mail postage is the best
idea for any remaining greeting
cards and gift parcels going to
other states" the postmaster said.
And please show a complete re-
turn address on all mail. Each
year many thousands of Christmas
cards and gifts wind up in the
Dead Letter Office because they
are unbelievable and show no re-
turn address.
The Postmaster expressed his
thanks to everyone in Greater
Cleveland for their cooperation so
far on the annual "Mail Early for
Christmas" campaign.
Let's help the Postmaster and
his Woodworking staff by taking
care of all Christmas mailings
Immediately. Address mail clearly
and correctly. Show return ad-
dress. Use Delivery Zone Numbers.
Bundle greeting cards, using the
Red and White LOCAL" and
"OUT-OF-TOWN" labels furnished
by your letter carrier. Mail today.

FAMOUS FABLES

TRIBUTE: One day. during
. visit to Monticello. Thomas
Jeferson's home in Virginia
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt was
accompanied. among others. by
Louis M. Howe. political adviser
to F. D. r. and a close friend
Of the Roosevelt family.
Mrs. Roosevelt was enthralled
by the old mansion. but Mr.
Howe found 1t difficult 10 work
up any enthusiasm.
Just look at this fireplace I"
cried Mrs. Roosevelt at one
point Isn't 1t a treasurer"
Howe merely grunted.
They emerged onto the lawn
and Mrs. Roosevelt exclaimed
at It's magnificence. II drew
another noncommittal response
from Howe.
A few minutes later. they
came upon Jefferson's gig. In
which, said the placard. he rode
TO a session Of the Continental
Congress in Philadelphia.
Howe's interest was aroused
at last. He examined the light
two-wheeled vehicle pulled by
one horse and seating one rider
and said:
IN bet he was tired when
he got 10 Philly."

How to

One Way to Lessen Worry
By DR.. PETER J. sTEIhceoHh

equanimity; her ability to take
things in stride and not become
anxious and concerned about

II just happen to be lucky
How or why, don't don't know

tian blind on it. / reached UP
with my thumb and forefinger
and slowly pulled down a tiny,
imaginary Venetian blind over

main thing is that it works
That little trick has made sort
