Congress has not approved the
budget for the next fiscal year.
This indicates the possibility of a
serious delay in the construction
of any type of bridge, he added.
Directors of the Wilmington

Tiny Salt Bags on Post
Cards Burden to Mails

SALT LAKE CITY.-Post office
employees here are facing a new
problem this summer-Salt.
Approximately $50 post cards with
tiny bags of salt attached and bear.
ing insufficient postage are deposit
ed in the mails here daily.
Actually the bags of salt put the
post cards in a category with mer.
chandise, requiring IL cents if no
message is written and cents with
message.
Assistant Postmaster w. E. Block
said he was concerned over the
problem for two reaSons-first be-
cause it's costing the government
about SIS day; and, second, be-
cause it's causing disappointment
for many people.
Each improperly stamped salt
card must be filed and a postage
due" notice sent to the addressee,
thus mountaineering him, and cost
ing the government about 10 cents to
handle. At the rate of $50 cards q
day, that's SIS day, 500 a week.
Block urged clerks selling the
cards to help educate the tourists.

She's the Bear of Oakland, rugged

take Rear Admiral Richard 3. Byrd
and an expedition to claim for this
country lands already charted by
the explorer and transatlantic fiier.
Fit After 20 Years.
She's no beauty, as ships go. But
she's still fit despite almost 70 years
OF punishment as a sealer, watch
dog Of the coast guard among the
ice packs, and most recently the
running mate of the flagship Jacob
Rupert during Byrd's last expedi-
ton to the South pole in 1933-1935.
If they could tell tales, her ancient
planks of honest Scottish oak would
speak of death and daring.
Scrubbed clean today, her decks
have been wet with the blood of men
and animals. For the Bear of Oak

Where workers flock her masts to-

the smashing ofthe foes:

Rescue of Greedy.
Her steel-plated prov still bears
the telltale scars of years among
the ice jams, some Of them me-
mentos of the time, in 1884, when
she was called by the navy to sail
into the Arctic to help rescue Army
Lieut.. A. w. Greedy, who had been
lost with an exploration part of Is
men for three years.
True to her name, the Bear of
Oakland clawed through the packs,
leading fleet Of whalerS IN the
search. In the midst of bowling
blizzard, the black rocks of Cape
Sabine rose out of the ice and snow,
and there the searchers found mes
sage from Greely-dated nine
months before-saying he had gone
into camp four miles away with
food for 40 days"
II was a small boat from the Bear
of Oakland, which effected the actu-
al rescue Of Greedy and six of his
men. These and a grizzly cargo OF
frozen dead were brought back to
the rescue ships to be borne by The
Bear back to the States.
