WILL GATHER HERE
Plans Being Completed For
Convention AT Beach
May 28 And 29

plans are underway for the an.
n,Ial two-day state postmasters'
convention at Wrightsville Beach's
oce,n Terrace hotel, May 1929,
,ccording to Wilbur r. Dosher,
wilmington postmaster and most
tor the meeting.
according to rumor the post.
,osters' convention will nos be

will be-" Mr.. Dosher emphasized
war or no war, we will hold
.ho annual meeting there. There
"a ;.' m indication that it will be I'm
- n,fa at the coastal resort and Ger.
+atn1v we should not bring the
s+a+n's postmasters here if it were
deemed so.
,Of course. there will be certain
,racautions taken, such as the
gimmed-out lights already in ef-
feet at Wrightsville, And, no doubt,
tbe hotel will be sufficiently
.dimmed' for the occasion. How
ever this will not work any hard
shin upon those gathered there for
the convention, but will rather lend
war.like atmosphere, which may
he carried back to the cities and
small towns by our postmasters
and serve to demonstrate to the
neople in North Carolina that a
war is going on.
Neither l, nor the officers in
charge of the meeting OF the North
Carolina chapter Of the National
Association of Postmasters feel
there is any reason to call OFT the
convention, even though General
Drum has designated the North
Carolina coast military area:
We have taken the precautlon OF
checking with those officials near
est to the war defense, and their
answer has been a similar one.
The postmasters' convention
will be held at Wrightsville Beach
as previously scheduled. After all,
none of the other three conventions
already planned at local beaches
has been cancelled. 1t is fitting
that the postmasters should lead
the way and prove to skeptical
persons that there is no danger on
our beaches" )"
The convention will be attended
by representatives from the post
office department in Washington,
officers of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, and members of the
National Association Of Postmas-
ters. A large representation Of
postoffice heads from all over
North Carolina is expected, Mr..
Dosher said.
The postmasters' part in the
present emergency, particularly in
reference to national defense and
the necessity for efficient service
under wartime demands, is ex-
pected to be stressed at the meet
ing. 2

Mail Xmas Packages
Soon To Boys Abroad


Christmas packages for the serv-
ice boys on foreign soil should be
mailed soon, it was urged this week
by the post office department.
If overseas packages are mailed
between October l and November |
and marked "Christmas Package"
special effort will be made to see
that the packages arrive in time for
Yuletide celebration.
The packages should be as much
condensed as possible. The boxes
must be strong enough to stand
abuse and must not exceed IL
pounds in weight nor be more than
18 by AZ inches in size.
A ruling has been made against
perishable material. Nothing like
fruit cake or plum pudding will be
permitted. Neither may intoxicants,
infammables nor poisons be sent, the
department ruled.
Mother may give a greeting such
as ''happy new year, or good luck
and still have the package get thru
parcel post, it was announced.

JOSEF STAIN STUDIED FOR
TIE PRIESTHOOD

w ITH what blindness do we at
w tempt to guide our children's
footsteps in life, so often forcing
on them an ambition of our own!
1t might beslaughable were it not
SO seriously In opposition to the
mans own desires, but Josef Stain
was forced to attend the Tifiis Greek
Orthodox seminary, because his
mother wanted him to be priest.
Young Stain, legally named Josef
vissarionovitch Djygashvili, did not
want to be a priest.
Born in 1879, Josef was educated
in the village school of Gori, Rus
sia. In his young days he was
fighter who bore many a black eye,
and he was somewhat of bully,
although he always displayed intel
ligence and character. At the SEM
mary, he led the other students in
plotting against the authorities, and
local railway workers met in his
room. Eventually, he was dis
missed in disgrace. At the age OF
seventeen, he joined the under
ground dock workers of Batum in
a riot and, when the terrorist Boil
sheviks were formed became active
in their movement. While attend
ing Bolshevik party conference in
Stockholm, in 1905. he met Lenin
for the first time.
Josef Stain was arrested half
dozen times, and exiled from Rus
sia the last time. He changed his
name regularly and returned again
and again. With Lenin and Trotsky,
he took over the government of Rus
sia in October, 1917. After Lenin
died in 1924, Stain supporters ex-
lied Trotsky and through ruthless
executions made Stain dictator.
Josef Stalin's life is hardly the
kind of biography you would ex-
pect from a boy who studied for
the priesthood. The very fact that
he was forced into religious studies
may account for much of the vio-
| lence that marked his career.

green, white and gold. Walls and
ceilings are painted pale primrose

attached a deep flounce of lime
green, patterned with pink rosebuds.
The head of the bed-as well as a

with the same material, while the
