A plAnninP commission study proposes that the city turn from sanitary land fill to construction of a second incinerator and ex Newport News post office officials point to next Sunday as deadline to insure that armed forces overseas parcels will arrive before Dec. 25. By next Sunday packages to South and Central America and Europe should be mailed, the American parcels to arrive on Dec. 10 and those to Europe on Dec. 15.
For armed forces stationed in Africa, the Near East and the Far East, the parcels should have left Newport News on Friday for arrival on Dec. 10. Relatives who forgot the deadline dates can still get them to their men in uniform by airmailing by early December. Included in this "armed forces mail" group are any U.S. civilians overseas who receive their mail through an APO address.
All parcels to persons overseas but who are not in the "armed forces mail" group, should be sent immediately. To insure that the presents arrive safely, cushioning material should be used, prevent ing loosening of articles and rattling. If the box is not completely packed or filled too tightly, it might be crushed or broken. The final packing should be in a sturdy mailing package made of wood, metal, solid fiberboard of strong double-faced corrugated fiberboard. All fiberboard boxes should be wrapped in heavy paper and all boxes should be tied with strong cord.
If the sender's handwriting tends to be a bit illegible at times, the address should be typewritten. If it is handwritten is should be in ink. A slip of paper with a list of the contents of the Christmas bundle should be enclosed along with the address at the destination. In addition to the articles normally not allowed to be mailed, no matches or lighter fluid are permitted. Cigarettes and other tobacco products are prohibited in parcels to some military post offices.
If the sender is in doubt about what can be sent, he can consult postal authorities.

Just how do the bandsmen measure a 16-inch step on the fiflH' Fnrtnnatolv it fine hson worked out with mathematical precision as is everything else that pertains to a marching band. There are eight 16-inch steps between five-yard markers on the gridiron. Of course, there are no guide marks when the band is marching from sideline to sideline, but the standard step soon becomes second nature to the musicians after constant drilling.
And drilling is the real secret to those precision manuevers, Lawrence points out. "I like to keep a marching band moving," Lawrence said.

"Safety is an important by product, of course. But," Gordon added, "accidents generally in crease after a traffic signal is installed.

Bahr pointed out that opera tors in the tower, controlling air traffic within a five mile radius, give pilots wind and runway conditions, assign se quences to the inbound aircraft and coordinate with other air ports traffic passing in their vicinity. Fairly strong crosswinds from the northwest caused the cancellation of a static display of lieht. home-made aircraft that were to have been flown in for the occasion.

Perhaps the biggest treat came when the Eagle Model Plane Club of York County began gassing up its model planes around 3 p.m. Spectators watched the planes perform in single flight and in "combat missions" in which one plane attempted to cut a streamer trailing from the tail of another. Also flown was an 83-inch wing span scale model of the USAF's C-133. Built nine months by B.
J. Canterbury, president of the club, the plane was equipped with four engines that permitted it to fly at speeds up to 55 miles per hour. According to Bahr, the purpose of the open house was to acquaint the public with the FAA's prime function, namely the safe and expeditious movement of aircraft.
