Rambler
One Letter to Euch
Envelope, U. S. Says
BY JACK JONAS

VIC 4AciA q ACbOIA GA oCV w 81
to Aunt Susie, asking her to
bake us a box of fudge, but
we're not sure at all whether
it's going into the mail the
way we'd intended sending 1t.
This came up because there
was another letter being
written to Aunt Susie. AS long
as one letter was going, we
thought we might as well slip
both into the same envelope.
Then along came the cur
rent copy of Postal Service
News and there on page 4 it
said:
Completed income or other
tax returns and applications
for drivers and automobile
licenses are considered letters.
They may not be grouped and
mailed in one envelope unless
envelope is marked to show
number OF persons inclosing
separate returns or applica-
tions and sufficient stamps
are affixed to cover postage at
the rate of 3 cents each :"
We called the legal people
at the Post Office who said
this might apply in the case
of Aunt Susie's letter, but
they wouldn't want to rule on
it unless they had a case
before them.
The regulation goes back,
they said, to the problem Of
the Governments maintain
ing a monopoly on the post
roads, and that if they let
people send more than one
letter in one envelope it could
conceivably lead to a sort of
private postal system.
This sad news comes Just
before National Letter Writing
Week, and we'd burn Aunt
Susie's letter if it weren't for
the fact that next week also
is National Fire Prevention
Week.
Disaster
A man we know who lives
at Thirtieth and o streets
NV. was parking his car
on Thirtieth street the other
evening when an auto
lOa ed with teen-agers
jOIted past.
In fast pursuit afOOt was
another teen-ager, waving
his arms and shouting:
stop! Stop, My Elvis
Presley records are in the
back seat"
Luxury
The folks of the Belmont
community, down Woodbridge,
Va. way, need have no rush
hour traffic worries if they
commute to Washington.
The Belmont Bugle, mimeo-
graphed paper of the Belmont
Civic Association, points out
how easy it is to catch train
headed for the Capital City.
This is easy to do" the
Bugle says, because the
RIP Railroad runs a COM
muter train that stops prac-
tically at Belmont's back door.
THE stop is called Dab
ney 1t is located at the barn
of the old Dabney farm. To
reach it, cross Route 687 and
walk up the road to the old
farmhouse, follow the road to
the right up to the barn, step
over the remaining strand of
barbed wire in the gate, and
there you are at the RF&P
tracks.
IAN you have to do is wave
a white flag you'll find it
alongside the track when you
see the train coming.
After all, what are a few
little Inconvenience like walk
ing around behind the barn,
stepping over a bit of barbed
wire, and waving a white flag?
