Your P.O. Corner
BY X. G. Carpenter, Postmaster

Benjamin Franklin's birthday
was January 18th, 1706.
On January 18th, 1858 in
Washington, d. c., there were
ceremonies honoring this great
man. Besides being one OF
Americas greatest statesmen,
Franklin served in the Ameri-
can colonial postal service be-
tween 1897 and 1774. Then, he
was appointed the first Contin-
entail Postmaster General July
26, 1775, serving in that post I'M
til the following year when he
left for his important mission as
American Ambassador to France.
Franklin made many improve
ments in the Postal Service in
colonial America and was pri-
marily responsible for early eS-
adjustment of the groundwork
of the American postal system.
He visited every American post
office of his day, making i'm
provements and changes. He set
up post routes On a more regu-
lar basis so that service was pro-
vided more frequently and de-
livery service was started in
some of the bigger cities.
Newspapers, without regard to
their policies, were allowed to go
freely through the mails for the
first time, and at fair rates. In
ternational mail services were
speeded, and the postal service
of the time was rescued from a
demoralizing deficit operation
into one that was financially
sound and efficient.
In 1774, Franklin who was
"too much of an American" for
the British Crown, was fired
from his postal duties. Franklin's
frank" (the official signature
on mail denoting that it was free)
read as follows under the British:
Free B. Franklin" After his
summary dismissal from the
British system, Franklin wrote
on his letters: "B. Free Frank
lin"
While Franklin's achievements
as a statesman, patriot and hu-
manitarian may be better known
to some than his achievements
in the postal service, we realize
more and more today as our pos
tai system serves more and more
people his tremendous contribu-
tons in laying the firm founda-
ton for this greatest service in
world history.
Not only did he provide many
specific improvements in the
system such as providing the be-
ginnings of our postal inspection
service, today one of the oldest
and one of the finest federal law
enforcement bodies but he
imbued our service with the high
sense of loyalty and dedication
that is still its hallmark.

result of the law which gives
legal state residents over 20 years
of age the privilege of fishing
and hunting upland game birds
without a license. Montanans
purchased 1871 fewer big game
licenses in 1857 than in the
previous year.
Despite the two drops, general
hunting and fishing license sales
have shown a progressive growth
and since 1947 have increased
from 327,852 to 369,446.
This years figures also show
ed that the number of bow and

special bow and arrow seasons
were established only SOS per-
mits were issued as compared
to 1929 bow and arrow hunters

Murphy in Parii,

Peace Mission

PARIS. Mar. 3 (R-United
States Envoy Robert Murphy
today embarked on the second
and most difiicult phase Of his
good Offices mission to settle
the French Tunisian dispute
talking the French into making
Ia compromise.
The United States conciliator
planned a luncheon meeting to-
day with French Premier Felix
Gaillard. In an earlier visit to
Paris the American sounded out
the French position and then
went to Tunis for meetings with
Tunisian officials. Now he must
try to work out some formula
to reconcile their conflicting
views.
Mr.. Gaillard's government
has insisted that France must
retain the big naval base at
Bizerte in Northern Tunisia
plus a string Of airfields along
the coastline. Tunisian Presi-
dent Habib Bourguiba wants all
French forces out of his coun-
try, a former French protector
ate. and would accept a pro-
posal to put the Bizerte base
under control Of North Atlantic
Treaty Alliance forces.
Mr.. Bourguiba also is de-
handing international consid-
Grafton Of the Algerian rebel
lion, which France adamantly
opposes.
Mr.. Gaillard is now in the
middle Of a hot debate on the
military budget. If he retreats
on Tunisia, ultra-nationalist
rightists might withdraw their
support from his government
and send 1t tumbling.
Mr.. Murphy arrived early this
morning from Tunis and set
up a temporary Office in the
United States Embassy. He met
with the EmbaSSy's North
African experts and then with
United States Ambassador
Amory Houghton and British
Ambassador Sir Gladwyn Jebb

PARIS, May 31.-The fog is

Though Gen. Charles de

much of an enigma wrapped

oratory, the main outlines of
the problem he will face as
head of the new French govern

This is because the problem
or most of it, at least
is something quite apart from
the man. 1t starts with the
question of his freedom of ac-

will be able to do in whatever
time is given him is limited
first by the extent of his real
