Christmas Mail Deadlines The post office reminds persons using the mails for delivery of Christmas gifts and cards there are deadlines that must be met to assure delivery on time. Air parcels bound for points in Canada, the United States and Mexico should be in the mail by Dec. 7. Surface par- cels to distant .points--in North America, including Canada, and the U.S. should; be mailed by Dec. 8th. Dec. 11 is the deadline for air letters to all overseas countries except Britain, and Dec. 14 for air letters to Bri- tain. 'Dec. 13 is the last date for mailing out of town mail destined for points within Canada. Dec. 17 is the last The above picture demon: strates the severe damage that wild birds are doing to corn crops in the Port Perry area. The birds attack the corn while the kernel is in the milky stage. The most severely damaged crops are corn varieties that grow their cob beyond the husk length. In the Port Perry area in the last three years prior to 1967, the total frost free days were under the required number to produce quality corn and therefore yielded very poor crops. In 1967 the corn crop yield was excep: tional but the bird damage was extremely great. Corn, although being an expensive crop to grow, yields the greatest bushels per acre of any of the grain crops and also contains the highest nu- tritional value for farm ani- mals. New corn varieties are coming on the market each year that will mature in a shorter period of time and therefore make the year af- ter year yield in the Port Perry area a profitable one. Therefore local farmers are compelled to use any means that they see fit to rid their farms of this costly bird problem. day you should mail local cards and parcels. There is no mail delivery on Dec. 26th. The post office also re- minds its customers parcels should be securely packed, and fragile material should have at least four inches of insulation on any side. It is also suggested that mail other than Christmas cards be brecught to the post office, and not dropped in street letter-boxes, as this facilitatés its separation from the Christmas mail and speeds delivery.

"Cops are human (believe it or not) just like the both sexes but mostly male. This sometimes de- pends on whether you are looking for one or trying to hide something. However, they are mostly big. "Cops are found everywhere -- on land, on the sea, in the air, on horses, in cars, and sometimes in your hair. In spite of the fact that "you don't find one when you want one" they are usually there when it counts most. The best way to get one is to pick up the phone. "Cops deliver lectures, babies and bad news. They are required to have the wisdom of Solomon, the disposition of a lamb and muscles of steel and are often accused of having a heart to match. He is the one who rings the doorbell, swallows hard and an: nounces the passing of a loved one; then spends the rest of the day wondering why he ever took such a "crummv'" job. "On T.V. a Cop is an oaf who couldn't find a bull fiddle in a telephone booth. In real life he's expected to find a little blond boy "about so high" in a crowd i of a half million people. In fiction he gets help from private eyes, reporters and "who dunnit fans". In real life, mostly all he gets from the public is "I didn't see nuttin". "When he serves a summon he's a monster. If he lets you go he's a doll. To little kids he is either a friend or a bogey man, depending on how the parents feel about it. He works "around the clock" split shifts, Sundays, and holidays and it always kills him when a joker says "Hey tomorrow is Election Day, I'm off, lets go fishing" (that's the day he works 24 hours). "A Cop is like the little girl, who when she was good. was very, very good, but when she was bad, she was horrid. When a Cop is good "he's getting paid for it". When he makes a mistake "he's a grafter" and that goes for the rest of them too". When he shoots a stick up man he's a hero, except when the stick up man is "only a kid, anybody coulda seen that". "Lots of them have homes, some of them covered with ivy, but most of them covered with mortgages. If he drives a big car he's a chiseler; a little car "who's he kidding?" His credit is good; this is very helpful, because his salary isn't. Cops raise lots of kids; most of them belong to other people. "A Cop sees more misery, bloodshed; trouble and sunrises than the average person. Like the postman Cops must also be out in all kinds of weather. His uniform changes with the climate, but his outlook on life remains the same; mostly a blank, but hoping for a better world: "Cops like days off, vacations and coffee. They don't like auto horns, family fights and anonymous letter writers. They have unions but they can't strike. They must be impartial, courteous and always remem- ber the slogan "at your service". This is sometimes hard, especially when a character reminds him, "I'm a taxpayer, I pay your salary." "Cops get medals for saving lives, shooting it out with bandite (Once in a while his widow gets a medal). But sometimes the most rewarding moment comes, after some small kindness, to an older person, he feels the warm handclasp, looks into. grateful eves and. hears ""Thank vou and God bless you, son!"
