Letters Flapping
At 7 Per Minute
Christmas cards and letters went
flying out of the local post office
at the rate of 7 per minute for
every working hour of every day
from Dec. 1 through Dec. 6, Post
master William Lamme said today.
“That figure does not include
several large hillings, and we es
timate we handled over 20,000 out
going letters plus several tons of
parcel post. From past experience
this rate will increase next week so
patrons should understand why we
are urging early mailings.
“We do appreciate our patrons
mailing their parcels early, as is
indicated by an increase, by dollar
volume, of exactly one-third in par
cels mailed in the period from Nov.
23 through Dec. 6.
“The deadline for surface mail
ing, both cards and packages, is
now past,” he added. “For assured
delivery all airmail packages must
be mailed by Dec. 10, and all air
mail cards by Dec. 15.
“Due to the large volume of in
coming mail expected the week
before Christmas, including the
Christmas boat on Dec. 21, we are
hoping most local patrons will mail
local cards the week before Christ
mas,” he said.

Special Deer
Season Announced
A special deer season was an
nounced this week beginning Dec.
9 and will continue through Dec.
24. The hunt is for most of Unit 8
with certain portions excluded.
Ron Batchelor, Game Biologist
for the ADF & G, in making the an
nouncement. stated the hunting
area opened will extend through
out Unit 8, with the exception of
“that part of Kodiak Island lying
east of a line between Hidden Basin
narrows and Dovolno Point and the
mouth of Pillar Creek (Monashka
Bay).
Batchelor further stated that
deer previously taken during the
1961 season will not prevent the
taking of an additional animal dur
ing this special season. However,
he said, any person taking a deer
during this special season must
notify the nearest office of the
Alaska Department of Fish and
Game, either personally or by mail
within five days after the close
of the season.
Deer of either sex can be taken.
Charity may cover a multitude of
sins, but the meddler always uncov
ers some new ones.
Be easy-going, but it never pays
to slow down to a standstill.
