It Is true that some reforms have been made in the Post Office and congressional committees are holding hearings on some others but they seem to me to lag unnecessarily For example a bill which would take politics and patronage out of the Post Office Department has been lying on the table of the Senate Post Office and Civil Service Committee for over a year I learned a lot about some of the idiocies of Post Office management from an article in the June number of Harpers Magazine The stupid obedience to outmoded regulations the use of primitive horse and buggy equipment and the refusal of the department to modernize are simply Incredible I learned that franked mall sent out by congressmen totals over 20 mUllon pieces annually One congressman sent over seven million pieces More than a billion items of mail were sent out In one year by the other federal departments and charged to the Post Office The Department of Agriculture even sent the concrete and steel for the construction of a bridge by parcel post free Is it any wonder that the Post Office will lose $570 million doUars this year? that it is impossible to secure parts and replacements have to be turned out in a machine shop There are hundreds of similar examples This situation is impossible and it Is unfair to the Post Office the government and the taxpayer I urge every citizen of this area to write to his senators and congressman and to demand that some action be taken on the Post Office bills And on the other 19 important reorganization bills also awaiting action by the Congress Claude Heilman Two Kiwanians Attend Annual Club Convention Blackard president of the Kingsport Klwanis Club and Duncan secretary returned recently from the 36th annual convention of Kiwanis International held recently in St Louis The 10500 delegates elected Claude Heilman of Baltimore prominent public utilities executive president of the international organization A Kiwanian for 27 years the new president will succeed Don Murdock of Winnepeg Canada Heilman had served previously as vice-president of Kiwanis International international trustee and governor of the Capital Kiwanis District As lighting department manager for the Consolidated Gas Electric Light and Power Co of Baltimore Heilman is also vice-president of the Arlington Federal Savings and Loan Association and president of the Roland Park Apartment Co of Baltimore Representatives of Kiwanis Internations 3300 clubs also elected two vice-presidents a treasurer and six trustees LUCKY LINE VANCOUVER UP) Repairing the roof of his three-story house 82-year-old Duncan Murray tied one end of a rope to the chimney and the other to himself He collapsed while working but the line held him dangling until a neighbor rescued him MALAYA STUDIES EDUCATION KUALA LUMPUR Malaya UP) An official study of Malay Educational practices recom- lt will pay you to shop our Annox for roal honest-to -goodnoss bargains Wo buy wo soil or wo will exchange now furniture for old!
