postal rates would mean an increase
in revenues the first year almost
equal to the gradual increase in the
Offices revenue for the last four-year
period.
The legislation, now pending in the
House of Representatives, provides
for a one-cent increase in postage on
each non-local first class letter. First
class mail sent to homes or business
places served by the Button Post
office would continue at the present
rate of three cents an ounce.
Postmaster Ed Rkichenbach and
assistant postmaster| Ralph Stearns
were only able to make rough esti-
mates of the increased revenue the
proposed change wbuld make, since
part of the data required to ascer-
tain the exact effedt of the increase
locally is based on estimates.
The local postal Officials estimate
that approximately 645,000 pieces of
first class mail are dispatched from
the Button office after air mail and
local delivery pieces are deducted.
This includes a heavy meter mailing
from Button industrial firms and
Button College.
If an additional penny is added to
the cost of each piece, this would
yield Uncle Sans postal service an
extra S6,450.
The extent of this additional in
come is seen in the fact that since
1949 the total annual increase in
postal income in Bluffton has amount
ed to $8,276. This Increase resulted
in previous rate increases as we'll as
the growth in use of the mails.
In 1949 total revenue at the Bluff
ton Post Office amounted to
$S9,338.87. This Increased to a total
of $45,312.56 in 1862 and to SAT, 614.3O
during the past year.
A few members of Congress have
suggested that the ~non-local rate on
first class mail be increased to five
cents per letter. If this is approved,
although not likely, the cost to Bluff
ton postal patrons would be about
$4,000.
Here is the text of President Els
enhower's recommendation:
at is apparent that the substan-
tial savings already made, and to be
made by the Post OffiGe Department
cannot eliminate the postal deficit.

gress approve the bin now pending in

postal rates"
Historically, Congress tried until
about 1850 to make the Post Office
Department live within its income.
Since then the policy, generally, has
been to keep postal rates low and
service requirements high. Actually,
the department has shown a surplus
in only 18 of the last lie years.
Only in recent years has there been
widespread clamor to make the Post
Office pay its own way, This Mas
been due chiefly to the risjhg postal
deficit WHICH, despite many econe1hicS,
in 1853 exceeded $50 million dollars.

Tracing the association of the
University with Liberia back to

to assist in the educational devel-

Mr.. Tubman said that Howard to-
day is the Alma Mater of Liberian
men and women whose specialized
training and technical skills have
marked them out as shining and
+ brilliant examples of the type of
leadership essential to the further
development of Liberia.

the "Calorie Counters" are making

net loss of 33 pounds.
This represents gain-or loss de-
pending on how you look at it-o1
slightly in excess of one pound OF
excess each day since the ladies band
ed together and took the pledge. And
judging from determination express
ed by the calorie controllers, this is
only the beginning.
After weighing in,' and
counting the dimes Gone dime
penalty for each pound not lost
as previously calcuIated), the
ladies spend the remainder of
their meeting time chatting and
folding bandages for the hospital.
No subject is taboo in the chats
except food.

sworn in, Mrs. Oliver Beach Jr., Mrs

AS one of the group points out
even though you may not have con
fidence in calorie counting, it's still
fun to fold bandages and talk.
We gather that calorie count
ing and publicly swearing off
desserts and second helpings of
mashed potatoes works much like
a prescription we saw recently
for breaking up the cigarette
habit. The author-sorry we can't
recall his name-suggests that
the smoker make no bones about
giving up the weed. Tell every
one you've quit, he advises, and
sooff at your friends who can't.
Call them weaklings.

razzing you must face if you fail.
You can take it from Mainly Per-
sonal, this works with cigarettes. The
difficulty is that having given up
tobacco, one reaches instead for a
sweet-or anything to chew upon.
Result-the waistline begins to roll
over the top and you're candidate
for calorie counting.

courage to the point of calling our
dinner companion "weakling" for
buttering the bread or failing to trim
the juicy edge off pork chop.
