The road had taken many twists and
turns in the turbulent life of Patrick
D'Arcy, only to end here at Dade Memo-
rial Park Cemeter: located just outside
Miami, Florida. When they buried Pat
D'Arcy in his final resting place, they
also buried several unanswered ques-
tions with him

A female officer, Det. Julia McNa-

Spending hundreds of dol-
lars on Christmas gifts to be
sent through the mail and
only cents on wrapping?

That, officials of the Can-
ada Post Corporation, warn,
could result in the loss, and
subsequent non-delivery of
the Christmas gift.

“Every Christmas there
are hundreds of parcels that
break open because they are
not properly packaged,” Bob
Pearson, Vancouver mail pro-
cessing plant manager said.
“As a result items in the par-
cel fall out and there is no
way the post office can de-
termine where they should
be delivered.”

So, he added, instead of
some individual being happy
on receipt of a special pres-
ent, the present winds up in
the undeliverable mail sec-
tion of the post office.

He says corrugated card-
board boxes are the best
containers and anything
breakable should be sur-
rounded by a cushioning of
styrofoam pellets, foam rub-
ber, or shredded paper.

“Popcorn is also a good
cushioning agent and you can
nibble on it while packing
your parcels,” Pearson said,
adding, “it’s also a good idea
to enclose a slip of paper with
the address of the recipient

Detectives took the only course open
to them. They continued to investigate
Pat D’Arcy. Eventually they discovered
that D’Arcy’s business had fallen on

hard times, and that he had borrowed
heavily from the two Domenech
women.

Folless were faced with the task of

May 16,

who could have been D'Arcy. The pass-

Records indicated that Young Jad flown
to Rome on the same day as Pinky, but
witha ‘different airline.

Italian police traced’ Pinky’s move-
ments, but were unable to connect
D'Arcy to her while she was in Italy. In

To assist in making sure
your parcel reaches its des-
tination the Post Office sug-
gests the following dos and
don'ts,

Don't use shoe boxes —
they cave in during normal
processing.

Don't use plain kraft gum-
med tape — this tape be-
comes unglued in cold wea-
ther.

Don't pack loose items to-
gether — wrap each: separ-
ately in the carton or box.

Don't forget to use the
postal code in the address —
it makes sorting easier.

Do surround fragile items,
such as glassware and china,
with lots of styrofoam pel-
lets, crushed paper, straw or
popcorn. They act as cushion-
ing.

Do use heavy cardboard
cartons, well sealed on all
open edges with fibre or
reinforced tape.

Do print mailing and re-
turn address on two sides of
outer wrapper.

The Post Office expects up
to four million els to
move through its facility
during December. By follow-
ing the tips above, customers
can be sure their parcels will
stand the best possible
chance of being delivered
intact and on time.
