A Few Reflections on What's Going On In the Community There are ns periods after tite first name of Dr. Dr. Simmons explains that thiS is so because and are not abbreviations, and don't stand for anything. We had wondered why no periods, so asked, fir. Simmons added that the background of the name (or initials) was the nickname of a favorite relative of his parents.

A C'hillicothean stopped near a farm gate and watched a large group of cattle being driven toward a corral. Beyond the cattle was the sound of a bull. As the 38 animals moved nearer the corral, the observer discovered they were being driven by a man in an automobile and sounding a bull horn. "Is this the place?" asked a woman, pausing momentarily in the main hallway of the Chillicothe High School as she hastened along la search of a meeting place. "Which one?" inquired Principal George P.

Newbolt, Including student and adult groups, there were five meetings going on in the building that night. That number, said Mr. Newbolt, is not unusual on many nights throughout the We hid some recognition problems feteHtly. Part due to just plain forgetfulaess. But others we have associated with the current popular fasfctett of blonding the hair.

Twice lately girls have said hello and we have passed by looking blank, Moment! later we have said, Why; that's Sd-and-so-with blonde hair! Calisthentics were a part of the women's physical fitness program that opened last night with 55 women seeking physical toning. They did bends and other exercises and finally were given one in which the Student lies on the Stomach, reaches back to take hold of the feet, then rocks back and forth. The instructor took the class through the entire exercise, and one woman remarked that she was glad that was over. "Over?" said a friend nearby, in surprise. "I just now caught my feet." Plummer.

Post Off ice looks Christmas Longer Window Hours AM Included In Longer post office window hours, expanded delivery services and large-scale extension of the ZIP- coded parcel, post speedup are planned for Christmas, Gen. John A. Gronouski has advised Postmaster Griff Benson. Mr. Gronouski outlined to the Chillicothe postal head, three major new steps he'has taken "for the best Christmas mail service the Postal Service has ever had:" 1.

Expanded post office window hours Dec. 5 to 26 as deemed neces- by the local postmaster. 2. A 6-day week Dec. 7-31 for parcel post deliveries, instead of five day wfeek.

3. Completion by Nov. 1 of Phase HI of ZIP Code parcel handling at about 130 more "sectional center" post offices (strategically-located mail massing points), providing faster delivery up to 24 hours or more for parcels with ZIP Code. In Phase I and II, approximately 75 offices with receipts of $5 million annually and above activated faster ZIP Code sorting and dispatch by Sept. 1.

The 130 in Phase III includes offices with receipts of $1 to $5 million. In addition, many other sectional centers offices with smaller receipts will have the program in operation by early December, in time to help speed delivery of Christmas gifts mailed with the ZIP Code. The Chillicothe sectional center has converted to ZIP Code, means many parcels are being routed direct to other sectional centers, thus. bypassing large cities like Kansas City, St. Louis and others.

It has been found that'par- cels with the ZIP Code used as part of the address not only reaches their destination much sooner, but because of less handling, arrive with much less damage to the parcels.
