Public cooperation today wes
credited with improved “handling
of a record volume of Christmas
mail in this area. George A. Gray,
director of the Post Office De-
partment’s
gion, said reports now
made to his office in Dallas in-
dicate that there was about a six
per cent increase in mail over
Christmas of 1954. Postal reve-
nues also increased about six per
cent.
“This increased efficiency,
which is reflected in reports from
larger offices of the region, is
traceable to the best cooperation
from the public the Post Office
has ever had,” Mr. Gray said.
He cited an unprecedented
amount of publicity by newspa-
pers and radio and television
stations urging the public to sep-
arate, face and bundle letters
and to mail early.
“The public responded re-
markably,” he declared. “Most
people with Christmas cards to
mail carefully separated them
into local and out-of-town bun-
dles and faced them for quick
processing through cancelling
machines, speeding up the dis-
patch of outgoing mail and help-
ing postal workers keep pace
with the deluge that gave the de-
partment its biggest volume in
history.”
The regional official conclud-
ed that this public cooperation
and the good work of postal em-
ployees and transportation com-
panies kept the mail flowing
smoothly. “There was no de-
layed mail in post offices in Tex-
as and Louisiana on Christmas
Eve,” he said, “and I give a great
deal of credit to the publiciyt by
press,-radio and television.”
The Post Office “Mail Early”
campaign is a continuing thing,
he explained, but except at
Christmas time it pertains to
mailing early in the day.

First Baptist Church
“Jesus the Very Thought of
Thee” was the call ^to worship
last Sunday morning at the wor-
ship service, presented by the
choir.
Rev. J. I. Gregory, missionary
for District 13, brought a mes-
sage from Psalm 107:23, on the
line of thought, “Going Deeper
With God.” The pastor presided
over the service and four men
were ordained as deacons. The
ordination prayer was offered by
J. B. Taylor. Mr. Mallard sang
“Whiter Than Snow.” Mr. and
Mrs. Roland Hill were received
into the fellowship of the church
as new members.
At the evening service the pas-
tor spoke on the subject, “The
Hour Is Come,” reading Luke 22:
7-20. The Lord’s Supper was
observed. Mr. Mallard brought
the special music again, singing
“Under His Wings.” Although
snow had been on the ground five
days we had seven visitors in
Sunday School making a total of
158. Mr. Jackson spoke of a
contest for the Adult Department
of the Training Union with the
details to be worked out by the
three Adult Unions. The contest
will be between the “Hatfields”
and the “McCoys.”
A number of activities have
been announced for the week:
Teachers and officers meeting
Wednesday night, also the regu-
lar prayer meeting service, and
the committee for the church din-
ner honoring new members.
Thursday night the Brotherhood
will meet and the Cleo Morrison
Circle in the home of Mrs. Bus-
ter Fowler. Friday night choir
practice at 7:30.
To start the day off next Sun-
day morning the Bethany Sunday
School class will present the
assembly program at 10 a. m. in
the auditorium for the Adult
Department.—Church Reporter.
Most of us Americans are earning more now
than ever before. But when money comes
easy, we have a tendency to let it go just as
easily. If we’re wise, we’ll be sure and save part
of every paycheck and invest it for our own
future benefit.
Here &r» three good reasons why U. S. Series E
Saving* Bonds make a good foundation stone
for any investment program. j
• You’re sure of your principal in Savings
Bonds, h isn’t subject to market fluctua-
tions, and can be readily converted to cash,
• You’re sure of your returns in Savings
Bonds. Your Government guarantees you
an average interest of S% per year, com-
pounded semiannually, when your Bonds
are held to maturity.
• You’re sure of the future when you invest
in Savings Bonds. There’s nothing like
the feeling of security that a backlog of at
least 6 months’ living expenses in safe,
sure U. S. Savings Bonds will bring you.
K ^ijpersly recommend to everyone of my fellow
LitlzehB that foe talk with his banker or invest-
ment counselor about making U. S. Savings
Bonds a Dart of his investment nroirram-
