al THE DAILY SENTINEL, GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO MORNING, OCTOBER 25, 1959. TEN Woman Saves Cisco Post Office CISCO, Utah Cisco was very nearly without a post office this year, but for the will of one woman, Mrs. Wava Harris. Only a few weeks ago, it appeared that Cisco residents, somewhat isolated between Thompsons, Utah, and Mack, would have to go either to one or the other town to pick up and mail their letters. "There's been a post office at Cisco since the town was started.

I guess," said Mrs. Harris. "But all at once there wasn't anybody to run it." The Harris gas station and store is about a mile west of the main town of Cisco, and there was some complaint among local residents when it was suggested that the post office be placed there. "But we knew if I didn't take the job as postmaster, there would be no mail pickup and no delivery," Mrs. Harris says.

"After all, it's easier to, go a bit out of the way than to have to go 30. miles or so." Mrs. Harris, isn't officially the postmaster yet. She'll have to civil Service exam and the postal inspector will have to check OD the station. The post office boxes and window have just been moved to the Harris building, and there's still a lot of carpentering and straightening up to be done.

But the post office has been in operation since last Monday. Sixteen boxes are being used. They represent the Cunningham ranch, north of Cisco, and several ranches on the river and in the Dewey Bridge area, as well as the residents of the town.

OES Halloween Party New York Notebook "Credit Card" Cruises Are New This Season By ISABEL: CUNNINGHAM Ships are all shined up and the cruise season is starting.

The winter cruises to romantic warm climes are so popular that cabin space for the whole season is nearly sold out and it has just cooled off here. The Holland-America Line, with beautiful new ship, The Rotterdam, has 17 CaribbeanWest Indies cruises lined up, Furness sets 16 sailings, Alcoa announces several, Home, Norwegian, Moore-McCormack and just about every other line are all ready to go on this big winter push. There are even card" cruises whereby passengers can charge everything from tickets to tips, a new thing. THIS WEEK saw observances of Newspaper Day across the land and I attended a special luncheon program at which we learned that the newspaper industry is 255 years old. Just to illustrate how gigantic this newspaper business is in the year 1.500 -major U.S.

corporations spent an average of half a million dollars each in national newspaper advertising to promote the profitable sale of 3,800 different products. In addition, 200,000 retail stores spent an average of $8,500 each in local newspaper advertising to promote sales across the counter. It all adds up to well over billion dollars of newspaper ad revenue, more than are spent in any other medium. IN ALL THIS confusion and delinquency it is good to hear a little about the solidity of some things. For instance: The Bank of New York is celebrating its 175th year.

Double Duty Suits For Globetrotters Give Wide Variety For Any Occasion Associated Press Women's Editor What with world wide travel and the limitations of airplane luggage, 1 new system of dressing is being developed by globe-trotting women. They wear complete wardrobe and use the luggage for accesories and extras. Quick to anticipate the new trend is Arthur Jablow, whose family has been making suits and coats for American women for two generations. His new collection for fall and winter features the "double play" in suits, coats and costumes device by which one outfit can adjust itself to almost any change of weather or occasion.

A case in point is the doubleJacket suit, in feather-weight wool. The extra jacket is completely furlined and reversible. A woman could start on a trip wearing the basic suit and the jacket with fur side out. Aboard train or plane she would remove the outer jackand be trimly attired in smart. comfortable and lightweight two piece suit.

Arrived at her destination, with no time to change for a cocktail date, she could remove the basic jacket to reveal dressy, low-necked silk or Jersey blouse in matching color, et around her shoulders 'and be correctly attired for after-five festivities. Other variations of the double play make possible many changes in outfits of suit and coordinated reversible travel coat, dress-andjacket costumes, three-and-fourpiece ensembles all designed to go together. There also are sults featuring jackets with built-in-gilets and two-way closings, for variation of effect.
