public address system and a re-

The dancing started at eight thirty
and continued up until ten-tfirty

continued until eleven fifteen.
Those on the committees for food

We hear from local postoffcc officials that
copies of the News containing this map wond be prop

we are advised that it's rule of the Post Office De-

the suggestion that well, if want to 90 enjoy

These benefits are admittedly substantial, for all
the papers, As Just revealed by Postmaster General
Farley it cost the post office $38,OOO00O to deliver
daily newspapers last year, but the newspapers paid
only 100000 to be delivered. To the extent that
the News mails papers, it participates in this subsidy
"a subsidy which smells louder as time goes on.
But if the rule above referred to isn't bureaucracy
gone nuts, we'd like to know what it is.
