City Post Office Business Blooms

In the preceding fiscal year, the main station did
$4,000 in business and in fiscal 4647 receipts totaed
only $4,000 That was the year the office became
first class post office.
Hassel has been waiting although not exactly with
baed BREATH for Congress to approve expenditures for
a new post office in Rockville.
Plans have already been drawn for building that
will be leased by the Government. The Rockville Of
flee is of the very few left in this part of the
try built and owned by the U. S. Government. The
rapidly growing trend is toward rental lease Offices
Rockville needs facility because it is already
strained to its bultn capacity the building is 20 years
old this year.
Whereas the office was stated with total of Is
employees the year it went into commission, there are

The Rockville Post Office will be the third largest
in Maryland in three years, according to Postmaster
Hugh H. Hassell.
Hassell said this week that the Rockville Post Of
flee about the sixth largest in the State and third
largest in Montgomery County, behind Silver Spring
and Bethesda.
Silver Spring is the second largest in the State, be-
hind Baltimores vast facility. And Bethesda actually
is branch station of the Washington Post Office and
should not fairly be compared to Rockville.
Hassel bases his prediction on his post Offices rate
of growth In the last fiscal year. the main Rockville
post office and its station at Twinbrook did $780,
600 business in postage only, not taking into account
sale of postal money orders, revenue stamps saving
stamps migratory bird (duck) stamps etc

liz employees, 60 delivering the mail Hassel has
been Postmaster for five years.
And his mail is delivered to his home now, after
Mrs. Hasse learned that her husband would pick up
at the office and then forget to bring it home.
Hassel reported that his office handles twice as
much incoming mail as outgoing mail. This, he said is
because so many Rocvillearea residents work in the
District of Columbia and take their mail to work for
posting.
Further, he said close proximity to Washngtons
stores, public utilities and other billing organizations
results in flood of incoming mail unmatched for vol
ume of outgoing mail.

Hassells job, residents of Montgomery Court House

Planned Porenthood
Question Is Roised

Store of Newark and two of
its employees were charged
with violating the statute.
Essex County Judge Walter
H. Conklin ruled that the
statute was so vague and in
definite that a defendant
couldn't tell when it was per-
misSible to sell contraceptives.
Commenting on the decis-
ion, Bishop James A. Pike of
the Episcopal Diocese of Cali
fornia expressed the opinion
that the judge should have
gone further and declared it
unconstitutional on the
ground that it tranSgreSsed
the guarantee of religious
freedom in the First Amend
ment.
Bishop Pixies argument
raises a very interesting and
novel question: Is birth con-
troll advocacy within the pur-
view of religious teaching?
No doubt planned parenthood
has become a matter of in
creased concern in recent
years to some religious groups
like the Episcopal Church
who feel that it is part of
family morality. And, in one
sense, the issue has been
given a religious aspect by
other groups, such as the
Roman Catholic Church, who
oppose birth control as con-
trary to morality.
At present, since New Jer-
sey's statute has been de-
clared unconstitutional, only
Connecticut and Massachu-
sets prohibit or restrict the
sale of contraceptive devices.
Should their laws come I'M
