Route I, Loris

1t happened a few years ago
when | was serving as rural mail
carrier. One of my patrons, who
lived near the State line, crossed
over into the adjoining State
and became entangled with the
law and was serving a prison
term.
Meantime, the Christmas sea-
son was approaching and the
devoted wife, with a big heart
Sbut hardly as large as her 300
pound body, approached me to
buy a postoffice money order to
send to her confined husband.
/ asked her how much she
wished to send and she said
-ten cents" I said. as that
all you are going to send him
for Christmas" YES" she
said eff l send him any more
he will waste it."
When the money order was
Ndelivered to the paying post
master, he thought there must
be a mistake in the amount and
withheld payment until he could
write the issuing postmaster -
make sure it was not intended
TO be ten dollars instead of ten
cents. He was duly informed that
ten cents was the right amount
Eut the situation by then was
even more embarrassing for the
1poor prisoner because by the
lime the postmaster had received
verification, Christmas was over
and the unfortunate husband had
missed his cherished gift.
PEOPLE HONEST
Generally speaking, / have al
ways found people to be honest.

left two pennies in her mail box

turned il to me the following

NO BAD ACCIDENTS

but had several hair-raising ex-
periences. '.
Once rounded the crest Of q
steep hill and suddenly came up.

road in front OF my car. The
road was sush that I could not
go around him. I stopped, but
only after my car wheels were
within inches of his body. I blew
my horn to no avail. I had to
actually get out and wake him
up. He was fast asleep.
On another occasion. a lady
met me for a money order. 7

People arrive at an in

utes before take-off and
can't understand why the
plane goes without them"
says Karl w. Helft. dis
trict sales manager Of
Iberia Airlines of Spain.
They argue that the plane
is still on the ground with
the steps down.
But they don't realize

1t. A one-passenger mani
fest is sent through only
in the most exceptional
circumstances.
MY advice: When you
get your ticket for an in
ternational flight. check
the departure time of the
limousine from the down.
town terminal. If you're
driving to the airport with
friends, be there an hour
ahead of time. Don't try
to catch a plane like a
train. 1t usually doesn't
