COUNTY STANDS TO GAIN

Haines R-Prairie), the author of
the bill. This amount includes the
amount of funds provided by the

| gained by each of the IL financial
districts requested the highway
department to make available the
amount to be gained in each coun-
ty.

a~llocates to each district in proper
ton to the uncompleted mileage in
that district in relation to the I'M
completed mileage in the state as
a whole.

ated on a financial = district basis

land area, rural road milage and
the value of rural land.
Funds are provided by the fed
eral government on a 92-8 ratio for
interstate and 53-47 for primary,
secondary and urban projects.
Federal funds must be matched
on the ratio-basis by the state.

Highway Dept, for the depart
ment to award $50, 000,0 900 in con-
tracts during 1859. if the legisla-
ture provides a means for adequ-
ate financing. $3712 million con-

YOUR
POST OFFICE
CORNER
By
X. G..
Postmaster

That a city carrier on the third
day that your mail is not removed
from your mail box brings the
accumulated mail back to the post
office. 1t was believed that pa
irons generally knew about this
regulation but within the last
week two of our patrons, some
what irate, complained about not
receiveing any mail. In both
cases their mail was being held
at the post office. 1t is recon-
mended that if you r out Of
town three or more days that you
have a friend or relative pick
up your mail each day or that you
notify this office to hold your
mail. If you have a small mail
box and a lot of mail some of it
may blow away or it may be
damaged by rain or snow or some
character, small or grown, may
be picking mail boxes. Many of
us, at times, do not appreciate
our mail until there is none. Your
mail is, of course, important to
you SO help is watch over it for
you.
That there are people with
predatory notions was brought
to our attention recently, even in
this, what we believe a well
regulated community. A patron
reported the loss of a car radio
from a package that was de-
posted in his rural mail box. The
rural carrier remembered deli
vering the package to the box
intact, but there was no radio
when the patron went to his box
and the container was broken
open. Cases of riffling, such as
this are reported to the Chief
Postal Inspector. Any one seeing
a new car radio in an old car or
otherwise should report it to this
office.
A patron Of the Brookhaven,
N. Y. post office recently told
the Postmaster:
Last year you put toothpaste
in my post office box. Alright,
maybe my teeth needed cleaning.
Then you gave me a bar of soap.
Maybe l was dirty. Now you give
me a sample of liquid detergent.
Maybe my clothes are dirty. But
if you ever put in my box a
sample of deodorant I'm taking
my business to another post
office. l know l don't stink.

McELROY'S DOUBTS

Secretary of Defense McElroy
has gone on record as saying he
does not believe Russia has an
intercontinental ballistic missile
capable of use against the United
States.
And he says there is no proof
Russia is ahead of us in COM
bat-ready ICM's. Reports that
Russia will have 800 ICBM's by
1860 are exaggerated, according
to Defense Secretary.
While McElroy admits Russia
is ahead of the United States in
the thrust of rocket engines used
in weapons and space vehicles, he
says we have engines with
enough thrust to "propel a large
warhead to the point we want it
to reach"
