Junk in the Mail

This week the wastepaper box in Columbis
Falls post office lobby certainly too small.
AS post office box patron, each of us is being
subjected to bombardment of unsolicited circulars
and letters.
Some of the unsolicited mail is clever using
window envelopes with the paper inside of color
and design resembling checks. Opening the letter,
you find request to take out health and accident
policy. In fact, if you don't take out their insurance
you'll live to regret it.
Another piece of unsolicited mail has "Immed-
late Reply Requested" printed in red on the en-
velope Inside was: Wonderful news for you! For
the next fourteen days only, you can have Western
Farm Life for just half price"
AS a result number of us are developing
dangerous habit of throwing all mail away without
opening it, unless there is at least two or three
cent stamp the outside.
In these small towns many of us have feel
ing of possession when it comes to mail box. We
rent them Most of like to receive the local mo-
ton picture monthly show cards. Effectiveness of
most of the other material can be seen by looking
at the post office waste paper boxes and the side
walk and street outside.
Arthur Summerfield is the present postmaster
general and he refers to the flooding of local mail
boxes with "junk mail' as the Bulk Mailing Priv
ilege" The flood has been going on for IA months
When James A Farley was postmaster general,
he yielded to pressures and had bulk mailing priv
ileges for nine months, and then rescinded the
ruling.
Some of the newspaper publishers are con-
cerned that this type of mail reduces advertising in
local newspapers.
In the case of the Hungry Horse News we
haven't particularly found the Junk mail" competi
tive. Firms that use bulk mailing with very few
exceptions have not been our patrons.
This brings us back to the situation where we
like to rent a mail box for our personal business.
Unsolicited mail is not welcome MR.

itself was made from an old we'd

doll is very pretty blonde. This is
Mrs. Noffsinger's doll and Mrs.
Coos is dressing it for her. 1t is a

Apear Tells OF Bears Visit
bY Apnar school


APGAR = First grader Mickie
had a bear story to tell us the
other day.
Nightly visitors at Washburns
are a mother bear and a very small
baby bear, just tiny fellow about
18 inches high. Whenever the mo-
ther bear finds anything to eat
the baby bear cries for it and the
mother has to give it to him.
"The mother found a milk carton
the other day." Mickie tells US
land the baby bear squealed and
squealed for it so she gave it to
him."
We hope the little baby bear
lives through the winter. He is so
cute and tiny.

of discussion.

five eagles soaring above the lake
against a blue sky. We stopped to
watch and admire. We were sorry

here to see. People stop us and ]
ask us where they can see the
eagles. Down by the eddy is the I
pest place to see them but you

Would you live among the noun

Where you wake up in the morning
With the birds on every hand.
When you travel long the high

Where the streams you have to

With their din of endless chatter
But give me natures noises
And the rest just doesn't matter.
