Game Warden Raymond E. Pratt of Newfane said Johnson took the deer of the points made by Chairman George (D-Ga.) of the senate finance committee in assailing the order as unwise and unnecessary."

He was expected to recommend that the problem be handled through taxation In the next revenue bill, thus bringing the whole question squarely before congress.

Johnson did not have a hunting license.

He procured a license Nov. 20, Pratt added. Arrest of Johnson grew out of an investigation by Sheriff Patrick J. OKeefe of some camp breaks about the county. The sheriff said the deer was taken to a camp in Dummerston, where Johnson shared the meat with two other men.

One of these was Charles Jillson of West Dummerston, who is now serving time at Windsor state prison for a camp break. Fewer Hunters Out. If the county kill reaches or approaches the 1941 total.

Brought Early and Held for Delivery Postoffice officials commented today there has been a lot of early mailing preceding the usual Christmas rush and urged the public to co-operate as much as possible by mailing their packages as soon as possible In order to avoid clogging postal channels at the last minute. It was pointed out that while the pos toll ice will have extra help as usual this help will be Inexperienced.

Several men who had served during the Christmas rush for two or three seasons are la the service or otherwise unavailable. The office is also facing a problem of trucking on local deliveries. Railway service will be burdened, too. It was pointed out, which would tend to slow mall service. Merchants were urged to send their Christmas mall and small packages to the postoffice rather than Jamming street boxes and delaying business mall.

It was urged that business nail be kept separate from Christmas mail and that local mall be kept separate from out-of-town mall, in order to facilitate service. Business mall will be given better service by being brought to the postoffice. If persons choose to, officials said, they may bring their Christifias cards to the postoffice in lots at any time with a note telling when they want the cards mailed. These should be wrapped or secured and plainly marked as to the date. It Is expected this will enable postoffice employes to get a lot of sorting done in advance.

Another thing urged by postoffice officials was that persons on carrier routes be sure their names are on their doors or mailboxes. Carriers will have to return mail to the office if they do not know where to deliver It. There will be green men on carrier routes and they will not be able to deliver unless names are on doors or boxes.
