Goal Of $2,750 Expected To
Be Reached When Final
Reports Are Known
About $2,700 has been turned in
toward the goal of $2,750 set by
the Lititz Community Chest in its
campaign this year, according to
reports made at the December
meeting of the organization Tues-day
night in the Fire Hall.
There are still three solicitor's
reports to be returned, and it is
believed that if their reports, are
up to the usual amounts, the goal
will be passed.
This was the final meeting of the
board for this year, and most busi-ness
was carried over until the first
meeting of the new year, in Janu-ary.
when the newiy elected board
will take charge and organize for
the coming year.
The Executive Board of the
Chest requests that all Churches,
Sunday School classes, Societies or
oth-er organizations and individuals
who plan to send out provision
baskets at Christmas time to fam-ilies
in the Borough, to report the
names of such families to the Sec-retary,
Miss. Mary Huebener, 66 E.
Main Street, so as to prevent du-plication,
if possible. A list of
needy families has been prepared,
so that names can be supplied if
desired.
Postmaster Sea her
Gives Mailing Dates
Patrons, of the local office are
again urged to Shop, and Mail
Early. During the holiday time
the volume of mail increases ap-proximately
200 per cent, and it is
a. physical impossibility to handle
this great mass of mail efficiently
and promptly within a few days.
Therefore to assure delivery of
presents, cards and letters by
Christmas Day the public should
Shop and Mail Early.
"Do your Christmas shopping so
that you can mail y.our gifts, greet-ing
cards and letters to relatives,
friends and loved ones at least a
week or ten days before Christ-mas,
according to the distance,"
advises. Postmaster Paul Seaber.
"This will not only make it cer-tain
that they are received before
Christmas Day, but will be a great
aid to your .postal service and to
postal employees and enable them
to spend the Christmas holiday
with their families."
Letters, whether sealed or not,
addressed out of town, require 3c
postage for each ounce or fraction
thereof. Letters mailed here and
addressed to patrons of the Lititz
office require 2c postage for each
ounce or fraction thereof. Greet-ing
Cards in envelopes, not sealed,
may be sent for IVac for each
