Everything From Soup to Nuts—

Maybe That Loud Tie Is at the Post Office

OH, NO—Postal Clerk Hugh Glenn and a wayward “Gift.

By- DAVID WATSON EE whiz, Uncle Bert. Sorry G about that Christmas tie It was a beautiful fire-engine red spiced with brown and with a dash of canary vellow tossed in. 5 Now. it's decorating the pigeon holes in the Post Office and you'll probably never see it. It's just as well. You probably wouldn't wear it anyway. But a lot of care went into ite selection. Shopping in zero cold dodging skidding cars, bucking crowds in the last-

minute rush and generally being beaten to a pulp. Say that tie is lying

Can't quietly in the Post Office. Its beautiful hue booms forth at

you like a big bass drum whenever you pass within 10 yards

of it in the. dead letter and “lost in the mail” section of the Post Office.

It's Not Lonesome

Tt isn't lonesome, either. Every Christmas the clerks wade through a hg accumulation of stuff they can't send out because the addresses on the packages are illegible, the packages have fallen apart, or their is no return address on it.

For company your tie has two dirty pillow slips, a 6x16 auto tire, set of piston rings, long flannels, four buttonholers, two cans of snuff, 26 assorted gas caps, a halter for a horse and just: ‘about anything else you can think of.

But nothing surpasses the ra-

_ diance of that tie. It's just as

use

ERI The strain ve been too much.

3 Avert Fall Of Plane With 58 |

AMARILLO, Tex., Dec. 25 (UP)

{co-pilot averted a possible disaster yesterday, whén the automatic |pilot went haywire on an Economy [Airways C-46 with 58 persons aboard. L Three persons were injured from [the - sudden upward climb of the plane when the automatic pilot current stopped. Miss Bettye Gibbon, stewardess, is in an Amarillo hospital with a {back injury, received while-assist-ling passengers thrown from their seats. = | Pilot W, A. Tracy had a chit on {his hand and airline agent Hor- “® lace Austell a cut on his nose. : |Other passengers were examined {at an Amarillo hospital and re- | leased. The passengers were mostly | |

servicemen bound from . Los fils 7’

> R: alph Weedman' Foreman in the inquiry and claim section of the Post Office, sdid it is not | unusual for everything -imaginable to pile up in the department at Christmas time. It hanpens all year, in fact. n a4 year's time his men attempt to locate the owners of about 1300 pieces. This Christ. mas season alone some 50. articles have been accumulated and classified as “loose in the { mails.” Must Be Identified

That means they must be identified by the sender or intended receiver before they can be released, provided the skilled clerks fail to find some way of locating an owner. If all fails, the ju----er--- gifts will be sent to a central office in Cincinnati and -offered for sale at public auction if unclaimed for a year. After getting the description of that tie, Uncle Beit, you may hope you never see it. That's OK with me, but the postal boys are most detective-like in locating owners. If they find you, don't let them kgow where the thing cane from, because then they'll know who failed to listen to their pre-Christmas advice about securely wrapping packages and addressing In several places. An ext address slip should have gor nside the parcel too. Lots of us

«ave packages at the station * afch can never be identified. ‘he postal boys are doing their best, but in the words of Mr. Weedman: “We have everything here from soup to nuts.”
