Seek Scholarships
Thru Merit Tests

Ten 18th grade students at
the John Bassett Moore High
School took the National Merit
Scholarship Qualifying Test
(lMSQT).
The test is a three-hour mea-
sure of educational development
and college aptitude. Emphasis
is on broad intellectual skills,
and on understanding and abil-
ity to use what can be learned,
rather than on sheer knowledge
of facts.
The test is the first step in
the sixth annual competition for
Merit Scholarships provided by
some 100 corporations, founda-
tions, professional societies and
individuals, as well as by the
National Merit Scholarship Cor
poration itself. Over $15,000,-
900 has been awarded in the
first four years of the program.
Results will be reported to
all participating schools before
the end of the spring semester
in time for use by class advis-
ors. The scores may also be
used in many high schools to
help students make decisions
about college and the most ap-
propriate courses to major in.
Many students throughout the
country who do not expect to
win have registered for the test
in order to learn more about
their individual strengths and
weaknesses.
| Some 10000 semifinalists, the
highest scorers in each state,
will be named early next fall
Names of semifinalists are pub
lished in a booklet which is
widely distributed among col
leges and other scholarship
agencies.
Four-year schola r S h ips are
awarded to the winners with
stipends depending on financial
need. Minimum award in 1861
will be $l00, the maximum will
be $l,500. The average stipend
in 1859 was STAB. Supplement
tary cost-of-education grants
are usually made to the col
leges and universities which the
Scholars attend.
An additional $4,000 students
selected without regard to state
quotas are awarded letters com
mending them for their superior
performance on the test.
The National Merit Scholar
ship Program is nationwide
search for students who demon
strate extraordinary ability tc
benefit from a college educa'
ton. More than a million and
a half high school students have
participated in the Merit Pro
gram, and in the fall of 1853
more than 3,100 Merit Scholars
: were enrolled in nearly 400 col
leges and universities in the

new postal facilities at the ac-
CELEBRATED rate of over five build
ings every working day. To
achieve complete modernization
of the postal plant, total of
$4,000 post offices must be mod
ernized or replaced due to lack
of space and obsolecence. Add
ing further details concerning
postal service today, he noted
that, "our more than $4,000 post
Offices are handling a total of
62 billion pieces of letter mail
and parcel post annually. This
is an all-time record and an in
crease of more than "a percent
above the approximately 80 bill
lion pieces handled annually
only 10 years ago." He pointed
out that the postal facility to
be built in Hartly is typical of
many others going up elsewhere
throughout the country. These
new post Offices" he said, "con-
tain not only the modern pa
tron-service counters and eye
saving fluorescent lighting, but
provision is made for patron
service after regular business
hours" The Postmaster General
also pointed out that the new
post office in Hartly, one of the
400 new post offices to be built
in fiscal 1860, will remain un-
der private ownership while
leased to the Federal Govern
ment, and hence will pay local
real estate taxes to bear its
share of the cost of local Gov
ernment. The Postmaster Cen
eral said, mail users will find
mail service in the years ahead
improved through an unpreced-
ented five year program of sci
entific postal research and en-
gineering." "The Post Office De-
partment has under develop
ment," he said, "a machine that
actually reads addresses on let
ters and then sorts the mail in
special slots-ready for dis
patch. Another machine separ-
ates rapidly moving mail ac-
cording to address by pushbut-
ton keyboard. Still another can
GELS mail at speeds of 10000
letters an hour. Now being con-
sidered for use is new COM
pact customer-operated Postal
Substation" with mechanical de-
vices that sell stamps, envel-
opes, money orders, accepts par
eel post and makes change.
Matchmaking on the workroom
floors of our larger post offices
is rapidly being mechanical
which will end the old-fashion-
ed methods of hand-labor, and
the resultant clutter and con-
fusion" Mr.. Summerfeld fur
ther stated, 1--WE are making
great strides in speeding the
mail into and out of our larger
gateway post offices" by the
installation of mechanical and
electronic machines. Their in
stallation in these large mail
volume post Offices will result
in faster mail service to every
other post office, whether it be
in a large city or small town,
bringing nearer the post office
departments goal of next day
delivery of mail anywhere in
the nation"
