Parking, Parking and no room for cttatomer parkins. A roal problem in downtown Msrfa. There is a real problem for potential customers to find

$ a place to park on Highland Avenue. The problem, em­ployee vehicles. For eiample, yesterday morning, Wednes­day, I counted fifteen employ* eo vehicles parked in the 100 block of North Highland, ndao included. At 10:45 a.m. thsts sVwBwJ »BOt wow) sftwoowaoeos JNtsTswewn^ space on the block and oars were circling the block hunting for a place to park* It would behoove all of us to request that our employees park onone of the side streets and walk a little bit further to their job and let the buying public have s place to park. They might come in your store and spend some money. Think about H, then ask your employees to cooperate, after all their pay check come from the mosey that is generated in your stove.

•AIR* A new fad seems to have

started in Marts. Paint Sniff­ing. Seems some of the youngsters of the town have been solos ta ond buying a lot of aerosal type paints, espec­ially the clear lacquer type, spraying the stuff into a handkerchief and then sniffing thestuff to get a high feeling. This is a very dangerous practice, One of our stores has already taken precautions and will not sell the paints to a youngster. The practice was noticed when the sale of a certain type paint went up and when the sale of handkerchiefs went up. So, If you sell these paints, take the necessary precautions and let's do what wo con to stop this new fad. Talked to Dr. Paul Armerding and he told me the practice can cause irritation to the lungs whkh can progress to fluid in the lungs and even a collapsed lung and emphysema. Prolong ed can cause anemia and kidney disease. It also attacks the central nervous system causing weakness, dizziness, depressed respiration, uncon­sciousness and convulsions.

;. With the Christmas mailing season just ahead, Marfa Postmsster M. O. Rubio is offering some tips for cust­omers to make sure their cards and packages arrive on time and in good shape.

In addition to shopping early, Postmsster Rubio urges customers to properly sddress cards and packages with the name, street number and name or post office boz number, and the city, state and ZIP Code reserved for the Isat line. It's also a good idea to put a slip of paper with the recipient's name and address and your return address inside parcels. Be sure to Include your return address including your ZIP Codes on all envelopes and packages.

Postmaster Rubio also re­minds customers to check the size of their envelopes before availing Christmas cards. Let­ter size standards which went

into effect last year require envelopes to be at least £ l / 2 inches high and 5 inches long to be accepted for mailing.

The Postal Service is also asking its customers to pat an ounce of extra care into preparing packages for mail­ing. Parcels will arrive at their destination in good shape if millers follow a few simple instructions:

1. Make sure the contents of are well-cushioned and there is no empty space in the box. Use crumplednewspaper•aro­und the item, on the bottom, the sides and on top of your gift. Foamed plastic shells and air pocket padding also are good cushions.

2. Brown wrapping paper and twine cord are not

cessary. Wrapping can rip off, and twine can get caught in processing machinery.

3. Use sealing tape to close off and seal the bos. Three

types are recommended* pres­sure-sensitive tape, kraft pa­per reinforced with nylon or glass and fuaincat-reiaforosd pressure-sensitive tape. Des*t use maaking tape or cello­phane tape, they're so longer recommended due to pest poor performance.

4. Use a smudge-proof ink for the address which should appear in the lower right-hand corner of the box. Write year return address in the left-hand corner. BE S U l S R o

FOR BOTH THE ADDRESS* EE'S AND YOUR RETURN ADDRESS.

5. Remove say other labels or addresses from the carton.

6. Mail early In the moats and mail early in the day to avoid the rush. ^

7. Send irreplaceable ait* ides, cash and all valuable items by registered mail.

Monday night, in a regular meeting of Beta Sigma Phi, Texas Omicron Eta, Ritual of Jewels chapter, plans were finalized for the 1980 Christ­inas dance. : Cathy Rinehart reported on reservations. Shannon Wood discussed decorations, Bar­bara Saunders scheduled work hours to set up and decorate for the dance, and Aimee Horger reported on the buffet meal which will be served from 10:30-midnight.

This year Beta Sigma Phi chapters are planning the tea honoring the 1981 Sun Duc­hess Karen Bishop. No de­finite date for the tea was discussed, but Mrs. Saunders reminded the group that each would be given a task to insure a successful tea honoring Miss Bishop.

Marilyn Wells reported on plans for s Christmas party for members and their families.

; Joy Gilly urged members to participate in caroling Dec. 22, and to give her the names of any shut-ins "so no one will be left out.*'

In keeping with the Christ­mas season, Mrs. Horger read selections from "The World's Greatest Christmas Stories/' The first selection, from Prance, was Victor Hugo's "Cossette." The story illust­rates child'like hope in the midst of despair and on man's attempt to nourish that hope, Mrs. Horger said.

Ihe second selection, O. Henry's "Gift of the Magi." is an American classic, she said, which completely illustrates unselfish love through self-sacrificing giving. "This is the true spirit of Christmas and was illustratied by the three wise men on that very first Christmas."

After the program, both chapters joined for refresh­ments provided by Ruth Howard and Eatelle Moore.
