Most Embarrassing Moment

MARK FERREE, The Times’ business manager, returned to his home, 5124 N. Capitol, the other day and found a note attached to his mailbox. The note read: “You owe me $1.26. Please put the $1.36 in the mailbox or I will have to stop your paper.” It was signed: “Times carrier.” A little embarrassed, but also amused, Mark came down to the office, arranged ' to pay the bill, then wrote the carrier, Christopher Denny, 4617 Bunset ave., & note praising him for his diligence, The note also apologized for running up a seven-week bill, explaining he had been week-ending in Brown county during that period and thus had not

Co. The.new process speeds up the ability of existing plants to produce synthetic rubber by breaking the bottleneck that has been holding back production. No new equipment is necessary. Since the nation now has $200,« 000,000 invested in synthetic rubber plants, the new process is the equivalent of $80,000,000 worth of new plants. The nation’s synthetic rubber plants

Bouts of oti sesdirs have asked us to straighten them out on the matter of mailing rules for Christmas parcels sent to overseas service men, They ask: “Is it true that we can't send food or candy in the boxes?” We checked with the postoffice and find the situation to be as follows: No fruit or candy may be sent in the half pound package, which goes first class postage and does not require a letter of request. Too many people seized on the idea of using the 8-ounce packages as a means ‘of getting around the rule requiring a letter of request for larger packages. So something had to be done to cut down the number of 8-ounce packages. But, for the Christmas packages, no letter is required, and the only restrictions on the contents are those of common sense. Foodstuff? Yes. But nothing perishable, such ag fruit, which would spoil: or chocolate candy, which might melt and run or get wormy. No intoxicants, matches, lighter fluid, or other inflammable materials, poisons or compositions which might kill or injure another, or damage the mail That's all there is to it. Just common sense,
