The railroad safety program covered the following topics: don't throw things at trains, don't place items on railroad tracks, don't play around railroad cars, don't go between cars at crossings, 'don't go on railroad bridges, don't go into: don't stand too close to the tracks "when a train is passing, and obey signals at railroad crossings.

25 speech to the Economic Club of Indianapolis. The Postal Service made a text of his remarks available Thursday. Frank has said he wants to lengthen the period between rate increases, but his efforts have been complicated by federal budget woes. The Postal Service was separated from the federal government in 1971 and its tax-subsidies were eliminated. It was returned to the federal budget in the 1980s, when the agency was showing a surplus.

It then was taken back off the federal budget, but was also required to take over some retirement and medical payments for employees of the former U.S. Post Office, at a cost of millions of dollars.

The postal service is required to break even over the long run. Frank has cited a number of reasons for the planned 1991 rate increase. "We were required in 1988 and 1989 to contribute $800 million to deficit reduction even though we don't use a penny of tax money. Health benefit costs are out of control a problem we share with the private sector," he said. The first official step in raising rates will be taken March 6, when the Postal Service board of governors is to vote on the proposed increase.

The Postal Service is poised to launch the long, complex process of raising prices on March 6. Postmaster General Anthony M. Frank says a 30-cent stamp seems likely for first class mail in 1991, although the final price could be from 28 cents to 32 cents." First class postage, rose to the current 25-cent rate on April 3, 1988. If things follow the normal course, the new charges would take effect about 11 months after the filing, or in February 1991. Frank doesn't expect the new proposed raise to play well.

The occasion for the article was the discovery in a "small tin Dill tobacco box" used as a cornerstone box found in the rafters of the Steele House, which had been partially destroyed by fire. The article in the Banner depicts life, in and at the Steele House in Seymour starting in the early 1900s. Quoting from the article, it was stated: "The Steel House, which operated in various places in Seymour before moving to its last location at Indianapolis Avenue and Fourth Streets, was opened in 1901 by Mrs. Mary Steele, who-with her husband, John Steele and their six daughters and two sons moved to Seymour from Madison at the turn of the century.

The Steele House-f irst-was lo- cated at 115 East Second Street, between the Schmidt and Fenton grocery stores. Later it moved to a hotel building across the street were the former Ford Garage was located and also at one time was located in a house where Brown's Grocery now stands.

Steele. The Steele House, believed to be the second oldest building in Seymour, was the site of the first general store there operated from 1851 to 1852 by Henry B. WooTls, of Seymour. His store was located in the south wing of the building. Two years after MrsTSteele acquired the property it was damaged heavily by fire, leaving only three north downstairs rooms and one upstairs room.

It was rebuilt immediately into a ten-room structure, which for more than sixty years offered a "home-away-from-home" for hundreds of persons. 1 Mrs. Mary Steele died in Following her death, Miss Susie Steele assumed managership of "the house, operating it as both a rooming and boarding house until the fall of 1963 when its doors were closed More than 1,000 persons, at 0: time or another, were members of the Steele House 'hoarding family."
