fine deer harvest,” said Executive |
Director Glenn L. Bowers this week |
in - Harrisburg.
The 1964 season produced the
second highest buck harvest on rec-
ord. A total take of 49,231 ant-
lered “deer was reported to the
Game Commission last year.
Adding to this, Harvey Roberts,
Chief of the Commission's Division
of Research said, “statewide pop- !
ulation information concerning the
1965 deer herd indicates that there |
will be in excess of 86,500 adult |
bucks at the opening of the hunting |
season. With favorable hunting
conditions and assuming no changes '

yet the operation was
efficient in history,”
Buckley said today.
Nationally about 99 percent of
the Christmas mail reached its des-
tination before Christmas Eve.
“ZIP CODE use and the coopera-
tion of the public in mailing early |
were the main reasons for our suc-
cess.- With the same or better co-
operation this year,

mail with less effort than during
the 1964 Christmas rush.” i
Mr. Buckley had advice which
would help mailers prepare for the |
upcoming mailing ' season.
A. Up-date last year’s address
list and include ZIP CODES. The |
phone book is usually a good Hitec
for local addresses, and the local |

C.. Use first class postage on
greeting cards. This assures their
being forwarded if the recipient has
moved or that undeliverable cards
will be returned if a return address
is on the envelope.
The postmaster emphasized again
this year that poorly wrapped and
loosely packed cartons are the maj-
or cause of parcel post damage.
He urged that cartons be packed
tightly by using stuffing material
to fill up the empty space around
the merchandise. He also asked that
all mailers make an effort to ad- |
dress their letters, cards and pack- |
ages as clearly as possible and that
they make every attempt to mail |

ing township supervisors in filing |
exceptions to the petition for pro-
posed borough formation will meet |
at the Lake School at 8 p.m. Fri-|
day, November 26.
At that time, the citizen's com-
mittee, headed by William Purcell,
and the supervisors will present
the legal “exceptions” through so-
licitor Lewis Crisman.
In response to Dallas Post query,
Purcell said that the committee had
been finding quite a few people who
had signed the petition and then
changed their minds or who had
“pestered into signing.” That
to get rid of the agent.
In contrast, Purcell noted, the
pro-township forces will not try to
persuade anybody. Campaign for
signatures on the list of exceptions |
will be conducted on a strictly vol- |
untary and unpressured = basis.
Township backers hope to get the
bulk of these signatures at this
meeting.
Door-to-door campaigning will
not be done to the same extent that
the borough proponents did, says
Purcell, although there will be some
drive by the
names of resident freeholders who |

| tion of whether the pro-borough

ed by only one judge or the judges

Also to be decided is the meaning
of the term “freeholder residing,”
which is the only legal petitioner
for ‘a borough, and which is not
explicit as to how long during a
year the person must live at the

Purcell explained that the ~ex-
ceptions will not act to remove a
signature placed on the petition,
but would have the effect of neu-
tralizing the signer’s pro-borough
signatures, indicating a change of
heart.

A Holiday Unrushed
If things go as per present sched-

| not be inaugurated by the 1965
| Christmas rush.
Asked if he had heard anything
| about when the new ‘building on
| Memorial Highway would be opened
| for use, Postmaster Edward Buck-
ley said: “Not a thing.”
Buckley also said that workmen
| are still painting in the building
and have been for the past two
weeks. When they are finished, the
new postoffice will have to be in-
| spected by the Postoffice Depart-
4 ment.
With this as the prospect, Buck-
i ley said he did not think it likely
| that the building would be open
before the holidays. He said that
it would be just as well not to be
moved in the middle of the Christ-
