PAGE SIX SECTION TWO Parcel Post Legislation Would Aid Local Citizens Residents of Edenton would save thousands of dollars an nually on heavier packages under parcel post reform leg islation pending on Congress, Postmaster James Bond said today. The saving could.be $2 to 3$ a parcel, or more, he ex plained. Equally significant, Post master Bond said, there are many instances where mail ers decide not to send such parcels at all, with resulting losses of much business by the Edenton Post Office.

R. 12367, sent to him from Washington, D. C., by President James O’Toole of the National Association of Postmasters. 1 At the same time, the post master reported the parcel post reform measure would help the Post Office Depart ment reduce the postal fund deficiency to its lowest level since enactment of the Postal Policy Act in 1958 from the present $376 million defi cit to $lB7 million. On behalf of the Postmast ers Association, which has thrown its full support be hind legislation introduced at the request of Postmaster General Lawrence F. O’Brien, Postmaster Bond made these points of particular interest to residents of Edenton: As a first class post office, the local office cannot accept most parcels of more than 20 pounds or more than 72 inch es dimensions if they are go ing to another first class post office 150 miles or more away. Such parcels sent by pri vate express, at much higher charges, often cost several dollars more than by parcel post. However, H.R. 12367 would provide new parcel post limits to 40 pounds and 100 inches, with resulting savings for mailers at the Edenton Post Office. An increase of 14 cents a parcel would be needed to offset the parcel post deficit, but, if H.R. 12367 is enacted into law, a much more mod erate increase averaging 8 cents a parcel would be pro vided, Postmaster Bond said. More than 100 smaller size post offices are raised each year from the second class to first class. When they are raised, parcel mailers under the present restrictions must often suffer added costs in volved in private express company handling of the Grants Planned By Association RALEIGH—The North Ca rolina Association of Insur ance Agents will make avail able this year 10 scholar ships of SSOO each to North Carolina students who are either now pursuing a study of insurance at a college or university in the state or who profess a desire to en ter the insurance profession. Members of the profes sional insurance agents as sociation have been asked to sponsor and submit applica tions for deserving students in their areas. In addition to those being sponsored by the agents, state colleges and universities will be consult ed concerning their recom mendations for worthy stu dents who would be eligible for the scholarships. Deadline for receiving the applications is Juno 5. The applications will be studied by a board of trustees and names of those selected to receive the scholarship will be announced in late June. THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON. NORTH CAROLINA* THURSDAY MAT 19, 1966 heavier parcels. Residents ofNsmaller post offices enjoy limits of 70 pounds and 100 inches for parcel post packages. In a recent typical exam ple, Roanoke, Alabama, a sec ond class office, was raised to first class. A parcel of 21 pounds was formerly sent to Bainbridge, Ga., about 155 miles away, for $1.59. Now if it is sent at all, it is sent by a more expensive means In the case of the Railway Express Agency, it would' be $4.70. Residents of small commun ities who do not have the limitations imposed on first class post office mailers suf fer nevertheless as a result of the limitations on parcel post, provided 14 years age under a law favoring REA the NAPUS report indicated Because of lost volume ir first class offices which today serve 140 million Am ericans parcel post rate: (or taxes) for everyone have been raised about SSOO mil lion since 1951. Overall in creases in parcel rates have totaled about 130 per cent. The parcel post reform leg islation would go a long waj toward correcting parce mailing problems and reduc ing expenses, the Postmastei noted. For parcels going less than 150 miles, the present 40- pound limit would be retain ed, but a new size liberali zation to 100 inches from the present 72 inch limit would be beneficial for these par cels, the Postmaster explain ed.

Members of the Auxili ary and cooperating groups of young women will be stationed at numerous places all day offering baskets of memorial poppies and urging all citizens to wear one of the little red blossoms in honor of our nation’s war dead. “We know that everyone n Edenton will wish to ex press remembrance and gra titude by wearing a poppy on that day,” said Mrs. Ber tha Bunch, president of the Edenton unit of the Auxili ary. “The memorial poppies have been made for the Auxiliary by disabled war veterans working in hospi tals and convalescent work rooms,” Mrs. Bunch said. “The Auxiliary’s memorial poppies are fashioned from crepe paper and wire stems and their production pro vides an interesting diver sion for many hospitalized veterans,” she added. “The work is considered valuable as occupational therapy, in addition to giving the dis abled men the encouraging experience of earning money once again. All materials are supplied without cost by the American Legion Auxili ary, which pays the hospital ized veteran for his work." “An estimated 150,000 vol unteer workers from the Auxiliary and cooperating groups are required to dis tribute some 20 million mem orial flowers on Poppy Day. All contributions received from the public are used solely for the rehabilitation and child welfare programs conducted by the Auxiliary.
