All Talk With
Marion Mcdonald

4-H'ers throughout Kent Coun-
ty are enrolling in the Junior
Broiler and Feeder Pig Program.
The Junior Broiler Program is
open to any youth in Delaware
between 10 and 19 years Of age.
Contestants raise fifty straight
run chicks for about nine weeks.
Then they compete in a state
wide contest.
Members in the All Feeder
Pig Program raise two feeder
pigs for about three months. The
finals are held at the Fair
grounds. Local All leaders have
entries for both of these pro-
grams. Entries are due the first
week of March.
Nine clubs were represented
at the February Junior Council
Meeting, reports Vice President,
Louis Starkey, Houston. A com
mittee is working on a roadside
sign. Bill Warner, Dover, is de-
signing the shape. The next
county wide recreation program
sponsored by the Council will
be a Skating Party in March.
Many local All clubs in Kent
County are reaching capacity
membership. This means they'll
be turning prospective 4-H'ers
away unless more adult leader
ship is obtained. We each have
a especial talent" we could use
to better enrich our lives and
the lives of countless young
people. If we could only be made
to see that no matter how small
we might think our talents are,
they may be just the talent that
could help some young person
to benefit from a All program.
Al provides many opportunities
to work and play with youth.
We need you adults.

chester County, famous as the
fbedroom community" for COM
muting New Workers overwhel-
mingly the two car family type :
there is on the average one post
office for each 4,040 residents.
The county has SO post offices
and $50 branches where mail is
handled almost precisely as ii
was in 1890. What's more, these
200 postal service stations are
less than 2 1/2 miles apart.
With such history, why should
we expect anything different in the
future?
Three factors are present:
/. For many users costs are
reaching the point of disminish-
ing returns. There are other ways
to distribute papers, magazines,
packages and information. An
other rate hike or two will great
ly increase the attraction of al
ternate means.
2. Even the banks can now sort
and distribute checks, coast to
coast, despite the infinity of ILL
egible signatures, on a virtual
fsno hands" basis. The advance
of electronics makes possible
adoption - on a step-by-step,
progressive basis of means
which will lift the load from
peoples backs which will relieve
them of visual and manual sort
ing : and slash costs.
8. Congress itself has shown a
vigorous interest, and the Presi-
dent of the United States has ask
ed that every Government estab-
lishment step up its productivity.
In Congress, the Senate's stand
ing committee responsible for
postal affairs : led by Senator S
Johnston and Carlson has de-
clared Congress has to study and
stay with this subject. If 1t seeks
money and authority to investi-
gate, as is xpected, pressure for
action will be on. In the past,
Congressman have not been un-
friendly, naturally, to more
postal buildings and employees in
their home districts, but when
costs get as high as they are now,
something has to happen.
Can people in general help do
anything about It?
Yes, indeed. They can help
their offices get most of the mail
out early in the day, and spread
their own personal mail, pay
ments of bills, etc., throughout
the month. They can be more
accurate In the use of zone num-
bers and more careful to address
mail legibly.
People can support the many
mail user groups that are en-
couraging the post office to mod
erniZe.
OF course, they can also have
something to say when they talk
to their Congressman, and they
can support their Senator's in the
coming studies.

Postal Increases And You

The lightest, thinnest, first
class letter In a sealed envelope
now costs five cents to send l. for
the second time In American his
tory. Perhaps this Is q happy
augury: the earlier nickel letter
gave way to lower postage be-
cause the Postal Service lowered
It's costs per letter. This was in
1851.
How high are postal costs? This
year total appropriations for the
postal establishment are AS bill
lion dollars. How much is that? ?
Well, the whole Government OF
the United States, Including ma
tional debt service and veterans
benefits, was run on only little
more than that amount in 1882
33 : approximately 5 billion dol
lars.
People were cuSsing about high
taxes even then, of course, but the
point is that this upward sweep
has taken place In such short
span of time. Just since the end
of World War II, postal costs
have about quadrupled. With only
one slight interruption, they have
risen from Sill billion In 1945 to
an estimated $4.5 billion for fis-
cal 1868.
If that postal cost experience
were to continue and postal tech
nology remain largely unchanged,
budget requirements In the next
II years would reach an appall-
ing level. The Postmaster Cen
eral himself is the source Of that
view.
Can the Postal Service cut its
costs per unit? Experts say 1t
certainly can, and they point to
what has been done by at least one
major communication service,
and by some of the outstanding
distribution businesses of the
country.
COMMUNICATIONS
A ng-distance telephone call
from coast to coast that can be
made today for 1925 cost $16.50

this is the case, the best approach
to reducing traffic accidents is to

The Council manager listed the
six most frequent driver viola
tions In fatal accidents as ex-

ing under the influence of alcohol,
improper passing, and disregard

DISTRIBUTION

A different story of handling
distribution costs is found In the
food chain business. One ex-
ample: The Arp had 15,7O9
stores in SO states in the l93Os
and found the numerous small
locations eating up profit oppor-
tunities. BY 1862 it had consoli-
dated its stores to 4,409 super
markets in the same SO states.
In doing SO it multiplied its floor
space, the volume of business
done and the number of custom
ers served. Employment tripled
in the same period.
BY contrast, the Postal Service
In this motor age maintains 35,-
900 distribution points. In West

In this time, by the way, tele-
phone employment has multiplied
2 1/2 times to 100000 men and
women. The At. & T. could not
have tackled 1t all at once; 1t
could not have done 1t all unless
the changes had been made a
step at a time.
having also obtained its first
mechaniZing equipment in the
twenties, has not spent any i'm
portant amount In improving bas-
ic processes of sorting, handling
and distributing mail. The Post
Office reported to Congress In
1862 that from 1851 through 1862,
a period of IL years, it has spent
only $41.9 million on research
and development and only $50
million on major mechanization,
or a total of $122 million. The
department said it had 1873 mach
ines in IS offices.
Contrast these figures: Of
every 500 In appropriations, the
Post Office spends only 33 cents
for research, development and
mechanization. Private industry,
on the other hand, spends an
average of SO out of every $1O0
for research alone.
And these: The Post Office has
told Congress that its investment
in mechanical equipment per en-
ployea is $500. For all U. S. in
dustry, the average is So, cooper
