The Cameron postal system is so efficient that there have been no examinations in ten years. Mr. Collins was careful to avoid any personal boast because he has been with the local service for a long period of time and was detailing for the information of businessmen assembled at luncheon, how the local system operates. It was one of the best programs of the year. Mr.

Collins said that many businessmen overlooked correct postage on mail matter and often this creates misunderstanding. Postal rates are three cent- per ounce or a fractional part thereof and letters weighing more than the three cent limit require six cents. At 6 a. each morning there are something like 2500 to 3000 letters which must be distributed and ready for rural and city carriers within the space of approximately one hour The postal clerks are so well trained that when these letters are assorted for distribution, they never look at the boxes and judging from the examinations which were held here some years ago an error is a most unusual occurence. The operating the local postal system are paid for by the Drawing Plans For baptist Educational Building In City d.

E. Johnson, architect, today that he been chosen to draw the plans for the new educational building shortly to eon- through the sale of stamps and other revenues. The Cameron post office not only pays the expenses its operation but the depository in Vustin receives regularly over plus of funds. Stamps are sent to the local office under invoice and any equipment needed for the local system, is obtained by requisition. I'he post office is not required to pay for anything received from the government.

Instead the proceeds from are placed in the bank and from these sales expenses are paid. A first class post office must do a minimum of per ear. The Cameron receipts excoed this amount.
