Smith ONE MAN WHO pays $3 a month to have his garbage hauled 20-odd miles to the only authorized dump in the county has come to a startling conclusion: It would be cheaper to mail the stuff to the dump. Kenneth L. Emmons of 1923 Kynwyd Road, Graylyn Crest, says he puts perishable garbage through the kitchen sink disposal unit. For a month he weighed the remainder which has to be hauled away.

It added up to 12 pounds. Then he looked up the parcel post rates in the yellow pages of the telephone directory. The rates for the first 150 miles are 33 cents for the first pound, a nickel per pound up to 10 pounds and four cents a pound after that. Add a pound of wrapping paper and twine and it seems he could mail a month's sup by September. cultural education programs making the rounds Richard S.

In a four-week month that would add up to $1.92 and he would still be $1.08 ahead. "The only unsettled matter," says Emmons, "is whether we address the corrugated containers to Levy Court of New Castle County, Wilmington 99, or whether they will give us an address closer to the dumping area." Nobody seems to know the mailing address of the sanitary landfill site, probably because Emmons is the first to think of mailing anything there. When the dump was new, a reporter described it as near Llangollen Estates, hut residents of that development quickly pointed out and an outline of plans the sta tion has for its new operations iinyMiiillh HiMyKiriiiifciTiniiiiifoiiwiinitftir mi MufiNiiii mtiirtiiriiii irnnnnan unfr Mimn fcai n-- fr- niomM Mlll'rrSllliattli Photo br John P.

Fergu.son said the police force will have 48 vacancies by the end of the fiscal year, counting three officers scheduled to retire, including himself. His 20 year tour ends in April 1961. The colonel said the police hope to hold two schools dur reach all sets on very-high frequency Channel 12. William Goldman, president of the operating company and well-known Philadelphia thea ter magnate, said the station's tJ'r new transmitter will enable it that it reaEy isn't very near ing the fiscal year, which ends to blanket all but portions of I 3 I i i if Sussex County in Delaware as well as a large area of eastern Pennsylvania, southern New elf Jersev and nearby areas or Maryland.

Applicants must also be at least 5 feet 10 inches tall and have no serious police or court record. "We wouldn't discount a man because of a minor traffic violation," he said, "unless there was a bad pattern.

On the other HE SAID the station plans to erect a relay system to convert its VHF signal to a UHF signal which will be beemed to otherwise unreachable portions of Sussex. A number of Sussex set owners already own adapters to enable them to receive commercial stations now broadcasting in the higher frequencies.

State police are authorized a force of 245. Even with the graduates from two schools held during this calendar year, the force now is only 200. He told the Delawareans the station plans to operate the first year on Channel 12 with a to them and they're glad.

In fact, no one wants the site defined too clearly because they think it would run down property values. Let's Just say it is hetween the Delaware River and U.S. 13, a little north of the canal. Is garbage mailable? The summary of postal regulations in the tele-phone directory says 4th-class mail includes "all other matter," and trash that won't go down the dis-posal unit would seem to be "other matter." Postal regulations discriminate against big-city trash mailers. If you use a first-class post office you can't mail more than 40 pounds in a single parcel but if your post office were smaller you could send 70 pounds at once.

The combined length and girth of each package cannot exceed 72 inches in a big-city post office. Emmons views his idea as a chance for retribution against two agencies that have incurred his displeasure the Levy Court for its garbage policy and the Post Office Department for its policy in the recent stamp error dispute, which he describes as "If we can't make a dime on stamps, why should we let you?" Actually this might be a big new field for the Post Office Department. It might have to buy more trucks and hire more men, thus contributing to national prosperity. This could give rise to a new version of an old minstrel joke: End Man: "I have a new job. I'm a pilot at the Post Office."

Dr. Floyd I.

The association invited Dr. Hudson, along with the state's medical examiner and representatives of the Wilmington Board of Health, to a meeting at the Gateway Inn near Wilmington.
