When the recent legislation
was under debate, Congressman
Ken Hechler of West Virginia
gathered comments from post-
masters to show how they feel
about junk mail. Nearly all said
it is disagreeable and bother-
some to handle and often inter-
iors with other mail.
♦ ♦ *
One postmaster wrote: “Some
patrons request us to do what
we cannot do: throw it in the
wastebasket and not deliver it.
Those who get mail through
boxes stand in the lobby and
sort out the circulars and throw
them in the wastebasket. This
is another time we handle it. . .
at the incinerator.”
* * *
Another postmaster said that
carriers deliver circulars to ru-
ral boxes one day, and then see
the advertisements littering the
highway the next.
* * *
Congress might have taken
care of the postal deficit and
contributed to the “Keep Amer-
ica Beautiful” campaign at the
same time.

From 1947 to 1966, the junk
mail volume increased more
than 250 per cent, while all
other classes increased just 80
per cent. Despite the public’s
apathy toward junk mail, ad-
vertisers have considered it a
great bargain. And no wonder,
with taxpayers footing part of
its cost.

Despite the bad weather last
Thursday and snow that piled
up outside, a good number of
Lions enjoyed a talk by Mr. R. A.
Yarbrough, who is with the REA
in Childress. Mr. Yarbrough
also showed slides of a recent
tour of duty in India, helping
to establish Rural Electrifica-

"SMALL BUSINESS’’

Now that we’re all paying
more for mail service, and the
mailman is better paid, will
the mail-carrying service im-
prove? Probably not, although
many businessmen complain
that service has declined stead-
ily as rates have gone up in re-
cent years.
* * *
Perhaps
Congress pro-
vided a ready
alibi for the
Post Office
when it pass-
ed a combin-
ation of the
postal pay-
and - pay in-
crease which
will guaran-
tee continuation of the postal
deficit. To its critics, the Post
Office can say, “Sorry, but we
can’t provide more service—
we’re operating at a loss now.”
* * *
The postal deficit has become
a fixture of the Federal econ-
omy, continuing even when
rates are boosted with the idea
of balancing the postal budget.
* * *
The deficit has mushroomed
since the 80-year-old “penny
postcard” passed from the
American scene in 1952, to be
replaced now by a 5-cent card;
since the first-class letter went
from 3 to 6 cents and since the
air mail from 5 to 10 cents. Talk
about inflation!
* * *
Congress could have elimin-
ated the deficit recently when
it increased rates and thus
boosted post office income by
about $900 million a year. But it
gave most of this to the postal
workers in pay increases, so
a postal deficit of about half a
billion dollars a year continues
not counting a big deficit due to
government mail costs.

challenged by Paducah Jaycees
to plan a money making project
and donating the money to the

What is irritating too, is the
likelihood that third-class bulk
mail, “junk mail,” which has
been a losing proposition to the
post office for years, will con-
tinue to be subsidized.

The third-class rate was in-
creased but probably not
enough to make it pay its own
way. Nor enough to keep it
from glutting post offices and

All Cottle King Cotton
farmers are encouraged to at-
tend a Cotton Control Disease
meeting in the Courthouse in
Paducah, Tuesday, March 5 at
2 o’clock, according to L. M.
McCarroll, county agent,
diseases have been responsible
for the loss of at least one bale
of cotton for every seven pro-
duced in the US during the past
ten years.
Both Cottle and King county
farmers have experienced
losses greater than they realize
the agent believes. With some
diseases, the losses are obvi-
out, as in Fusarium wilt
cotton root rot, where
plants are killed outright. With
others, the losses are not as
evident. For example, bacterial
blight lesions on the leaves will
cause a certain amount of de-
foliation but later in the season
plants may be relatively free
of the disease. However, it has
been demonstrated that in such
cases defoliation alone may be
responsible for up to 20% re-
duction in yield. Losses were

Ralph Briscoe, with
Texas Department of
Safety in this region,
ports that vehicle inspection is
lagging far behind what it
normally should be this time of
year and the deadline is April 15
only six weeks away.
Briscoe stated that as of
February 15, of 2,460 vehicles
registered in Cottle County,
only 719 have been inspected;
a percentage of only 29.
Some of the requirements of
the inspection are 1962 and
later vehicles are required to
have seat belts if equipped with
hangars; all 1962 and later cars
are equipped; all 1966 trucks and
pickups are equipped; late 1965
Ford trucks and pickups are
equipped with hangars.
In Cottle County, Arvis Davis
Chevrolet and Paducah Motor
Company, Inc. are inspection
stations.
