Post Office Has New Policy
In Drive On Obscene Mail
An important new policy state
ment on the Post Office Depart
ment's program in the field of law
enforcement against mail obscenity
? emphasizing enforcement with
out fanfare ? has been issued by
Postmaster General J. Edward Day.
The statement, which applies to
the whole anti-obacenity program,
was issued specifically in connec
tion with the sentencing on Janu
ary 27, 1961 in Federal Court in
Washington, D. C. of Herman L.
Womack of Washington and Al
fred J. Heinecke of Lakewood,
N. J., on charges of conspiring to
use the mails in the transmittal
of obscene material.
Here is the text of Mr. Day's
statement:
"We in the Post Office Depart
ment are gratified at the sentences
given today to these serious of
fenders who have been convicted
of using the mails to transmit smut
material.
"We have underway plans for
the toughest crack-down ever con
ducted for such violators of the
laws against mailing pornographic
material. Hereafter our approach
will be that used by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation and other
highly successful law enforcement
agencies, in that our drive will be
conducted without fanfare. We will
concentrate our available man
power and funds on apprehending
violators.
"Our public statements on the
pornography program will largely
be confined to commenta on ac
tual results achieved and convic
tions obtained.
"Needless to say, we seek the
assistance of the public in general
in reporting receipt of illegally
mailed material. We are confident
that the general public realize*
that there are stern laws against
this type of corrupting activity1
and that other law enforcement
agencies throughout the country
will cooperate with us in bringing
to our attention cases that require
investigation or action. We will
focus on the most urgent situation*
and will refuse to be diverted by
fringe cases.
"The inspection service of the
Post Office Department is the old
ett and without doubt one of the
finest law enforcement agencies in
the United States, and we count
on them to hit hard in getting
this job done."
Timber Sales Are Lifesavers
to be ? "lifwier" for farm era in
North Carolina who have loot mar
ket* foe other crop*.
Take Anson County. While cot
ton continues to be an important
crop, it's no longer king in the
county. Many farmers have turned
to trees as a way out of economic
trouble.
Tor many years, the harvesting
of forest products was done in a
haphazard manner, with little
thought to the future," says John
E. Potter, county agent "With
greatly improved practices during
the past ten years, more farmers
are treating their woodlands a* a
crop."
in tne 1958 59 planting huoh,
the Extension itaff in Anion placed
orders for 4.1M.OOO seedlings.
"This was more than the entire
production of seedlings In the state
during the 1946-47 planting sea
son," says Potter.
During the past ten years, some
20,000 acres have been planted to
new woodland in the county.
A big factor in the booet in in
terest is mechanical tree planters.
"Local banks took a keen interest
in this program," says Potter.
"They purchased the first mechan
ical tree planter in the county in
1986."
Within three years, ten planters
were in operation in the county
on a custom basis.
Those millions of trees planted
in 1958-99 will be "money trees"
in a few years. But already the
folks in the county are finding
that the trees are just as green
on this side of the hill.
"Some 30,000 cords of pulpwood
were shipped from woodyards in
the county in 1999," says Potter.
"This brought about >420,000 to
owners of woodlands."
In the same year, sales of lum
ber and other wood products
amounted to $760,000. "Equipment
and farm supply dealers, local
business firms and others shared
in this income, as the farmers
spent it," Potter says. "And there
have been new jobs created for
many people."
But it wasn't all done by the
banks purchasing a tree planter
for years before. "We showed the
farmers how to plan and take care
of pine seedlings," says Potter.
"We worked with custom operators
on planting. And we stressed bet
ter management of existing tim
ber."
"Wc" means the Extension Ser
vice, the Forestry Service, pulp
wood companies and other agri
"A Pilot Foreetry demonstration
started in IN* provides an excel
lent opportunity where farmer* can
see various phases e f woodland
management being practiced," Pot
ter say*.
The project is sponsored by the
Southern Pulpwood Conservation
Association. One pulp and paper
company furnished money and ex
pert help.
A local committee, composed of
farmers and folks from various
agencies, works cut the timber
mfnig^?m?nt pnftlCM to be put
into effect
"This project Is creating much
interest, and will be a 'showplace*
in the future on what can be done
with good management," Potter
says.
A lie JClMCUMVn OCI Y1LC, bwyci a*
tin( with the Southeastern Forestry
Experiment Station, hu published
a timber marketing guide for An
ion farmers.
"It lists buyers of wood pro
ducts, sales procedure, forestry as
sistance available and other valu
able information," says Potter.
The Extension staff stresses all
phases of woodland management.
"On farmer-request aid, a staff
member visits the farm to advise
the farmer about his situation,"
says Potter. The farmer is referred
to the best possible source of help
to carry out his project ? Forestry
Service, consulting foresters and
representatives of pulp and lumber
companies.
"By all groups and individuals
working together toward a common
goal, a more effective manage
ment program is being accomplish
ed," Potter says.
