The center sponsored by the Carlisle Conservancy, will receive items for recycling on Chapel Avenue, at the rear of the Bosler Library, according to Patrick DelDuca, city chairman. The center will not be at the MJ Mall as in recent months. Accepted on Saturday will be glass, bundled newspapers and magazines, flattened cardboard, aluminum, cans and clean paper. DelDuca said that there will be no collection in January, because of the economic situation. He pointed to the paper market where the group now gets $15 a ton for paper as compared with $48 a ton received several weeks ago.

Many of the outlets no longer will accept paper because of backlogs. Other recycling centers which has postponed January collections, DelDuca said, are the Big Spring Middle School, Capital Area and Industries Limited centers.

Emergency Phone Plan Considered (Continued from Page 1 Since then, it has been installed in over 350 areas in the nation. Nine areas in Pennsylvania, including York County, have the system in operation.

But can Cumberland County do it? United Telephone Company officials say, "Yes, if the community really wants it." Some county officials feel the 911 number would not greatly improve the county's Civil Defense network, which already has toll-free calling from anywhere in the county. However, there are three separate seven-diget numbers used for county control one for the West Shore, one for Carlisle area, and one for Shippensburg. John Snyder, Civil Defense director, says, "It isn't that we don't think it's necessary. It's just that we're dealing with two telephone companies in one county. Strimban said the first thing to be done before researching the telephone company's part in the 911 system is to organize a planning task force which would include fire chiefs, police chiefs, Civil Defense directors, elected officials, and citizens' groups.

"If you're going to get into it, get into it right," he said "Cumberland County has already done a lot of the work of setting up a 911 system with its Civil Defense network. But the decision to install 911 service should be made by this, task force to insure uniformity of opinion." Strimban said it is impossible to put a price tag on installation of the service at present. "You can't say it is too expensive to consider," he said, "because nobody knows until the thing is researched." Carlisle's fire chief, the State Police fire marshal, physicians, many firemen and other law enforcement and county officials agree that the 911 number would be a bonus to the county's emergency service. One official pointed out the number was easier to remember, easier to teach children, the same throughout the coverage area, easier to dial in the dark, and a nationwide emergency number which can be dialed in any emergency, "when you don't have your wits about you." He claimed, "It's advantages are many." The question remains, will county commissioners find these advantages within their budget? Meeting Date Rescheduled The regularly scheduled meeting of the Parks and Recreation Board which would normally be held on Dec. 26, will be held on Wednesday, Dec.

CARLISLE, PENNSYLVANIA James Simon, Carlisle Postmaster, said the volume of Christmas mail for the first half of December has fallen about one-third from last year. During the first week of December, the Post Office handled 444,854 pieces as compared to 614,583 during the same week last year. The second week figures are 647,605 this year; a drop from last year's 901,595. "But," Simon added, "this week's volume shows an increase over last year and may make up some of the difference." Despite the decrease the Christmas mail rush is still keeping postal employes busy. Simon said that the employes who chose to work overtime are averaging about 20 hours extra per week.

Simon urged immediate mailing of all domestic Dhristmas cards and parcels. All customers are encouraged to help expedite delivery by using Zip Codes. "Although most of the suggested mailing dates for domestic holiday mail have passed," he said, "all cards, gifts and other holiday mail deposited in accordance with our local standards and bearing Zip Codes will be delivered by Christmas Eve. "In view of the excellent cooperation received from early mailers so far this year, we are confident that holiday mail deposited immediately Local Church Schedules Yule Program The Toddler through the Junior Departments of the Bethel Assembly of God Sunday School will be presenting their Christmas program, Sunday, 7 p.m. There will be a special program practice on Saturday at 10 a.m., followed by a party presented by their teachers in the church annex.

Earlier this year, the Postal Service reminded the public to mail as early as possible and announced a series of recommended mailing dates to ensure delivery in time for Christmas. The last of the suggested dates is Saturday, for mailing domestic airmail greeting cards within the 48 "mainland" states. The latest suggested date for airmail to Alaska and Hawaii is Friday.
