Consider Time When Mailing Yuletide Gifts For many a serviceman overseas this year Santa Claus assumes an entirely different personality. True, he has the traditional long white beard and part of his costume is red but they know him better as Uncle Sam. All of their Christmas gifts are entrusted to his delivery and he can't do a good job of seeing that they arrive on time if they aren't mailed early. Right now is the time to get packages off to make sure they reach their destination by Christmas. From all indications the mail load this year will be the heaviest in history and it is wise to remember that the farther the gift must travel the earlier it should be pailed. Double wrapping is an extra precaution to be observed in mailing. First wrap the gift in brightly colored paper and ribbon; over this place several thicknesses of corrugated paper or heavy cardboard and finally, wrap in heavy brown paper and tie with a strong cord. It is advisable also to check with your post office on current postal rates overseas. STRANGE BEDFELLOW MUAR, Malaya (P)—Hasnah, a 21-year-old married Malay woman.

She does this because she thinks the python is the reincarnation of her mother-in-law. Tuan Haji Yunos, her husband, said he dreamed three days after his mother's death that she had come to the house in the form of a python. Then the python came. Hasnah and the python seem to get along well. But the big snake's appetite is enormous. It consumes 7 pounds of meat every morning and evening. Visit Our Parks.
