The new money order appears in
the form of a punched card in
stead of the customary paper slip
and purchasers will fill out the
same form and pay the same fees
as has been required in the the
past.
The regulation that money or
ders must be cashed at specific
post offices has been eliminated.
Under the old system, it will be
recalled, a money order had to be
cashed in the office to which it
was issued. If it were cashed at a
post office in another city an ad
ditional fee" was charged.
Uses New Machines
The new system (makes avail
able to the post office department
the most advanced electronic bus
iness machines. One machine has
been especially developed for the
new money order purposes and it
combines all the advantages of the
modern proof machine in wide
spread use by banks and large de
partment stores throughout the
country. Another of the principal
machines to be used with the new
system is the electronic statistical
machine, workhorse of the 1950
census tabulation.
The postmaster general describ
ed the inauguration of the new
money order system as the larg
est single accounting change ever
made in postal history and said,
that the development comes after
exhaustive study by the post of ft?'
'lepartment, the general accounting
office, the treasury department and
the federal reserve board.
Don't Fold
The department urges users to
remember that the new money
orders must not be folded, stapled,
spindled or mutilated in any way
''nee they are to be issued on
punch cards and processed by ma
chinery.
Last year more than 300,000,000
money orders, totaling upward to
five billion dollars were issued and
paid by the post office department.
The new money order system
will be under the management and
supervision of Assistant Postmas
ter General Osborne A. Pearson,
who directs the department's bur
eau of finance.
All new money orders will clear
federal reserve banks in the same
manner as treasury checks or
other cash items. The federal re
serve banks will then turn over
the paid money orders to the prop
er regional post offices.
The new money order system
is in keeping with the program
to modernize and improve the op
eration of the postal service, as
well as to effect economy and the
better to serve the general pub
lic, declared Postmaster General
Donaldson.

State Raises $1,125,000
In 1951 March of Dimes
Chapel Hill ? North Carolina
raised $1,125,000 in the 1951 March
of Dimes drive, $125,000 more than
its goal, Mrs. Phillips Russell, state
campaign director, announced here
today.
The final reports are not in yet,
she said, and she expects that the
complete figure will be substantial
ly more than $1,125,000.
Mrs. Russell also announced that
the March of Dimes for the nation
this year yielded $33,263,000, ac
cording to figures just received
from the National Foundation for
Infantile Paralysis in New York.
This is an all-time record in con
tributions to fight polio, Basil O'
Connor, president of the National
Foundation, said. The 1051 re
sults topped 1950 by eight per
cent, he said.
He explained that $5,000,000 of
the amount raised was owed for
patient care given ip 1950 for which
National Foundation funds were
insufficient. 'Thus," he pointed
out. "the National Foundation
started 1951 with less money for
its services than the successful re
sults would indicate."
This year, before the advent of
the traditional polio season. O'
Connor disclosed that the National
Foundation already has extended
$2,494,073 to 326 chapters, reflect
ing the continuing need left by the
epidemic of 1950 and those of the
two preceding years. Half of this
amount? $1,244,257 was required
during the month of May.
The $30,783,000 contributed dur
ing the 1950 March of Dime* a
year ago was quickly exhausted by
the belated epidemic of 1950, the
second worse in history, he ex
plained. During the past three
years, he added, the nation has
suffered its three worst polio out
breaks which struck more than
103,000 children and adults, of
whom four out of five needed and
received help from their National
Foundation chapters.
Half of all funds raised in the
March of Dimes. are retained by
the Chapter? for local patient-care
or in emergencies to supplement
national epidemic aid. The re
mainder is used by the national
headquarters for emergency help
to chapters that have exhausted
their funds, for direct epidemic
aid to affected areas, for the train
ing of professional personnel and
for the financing of a nationwide
scientific research program.

Ant Syrup Yummy
Arcadia, Calif. ? (AP) ? "Yum,
Yum," said little Carmen, age
four. But her mother, Mrs. Anna
A. Ayala, suspected something was
wrong. Carmen had made a fuss
the last time she had to take cough
syrup. She took another look at
the bottle. It was ant syrup. At
the emergency hospital they said
Carmen would suffer no 111 effects.

tefli Below Ceiling Price
R4?lfh ? Eutcrn Carol In* lum
ber price? are from *9 to ^5 per
1.000 leet below ceiling, the Ral
eigh OPS hai announced.
A survey of 35 representative
firm* ihowed a high rate of com
pliance with the record-keeping
requirement? of the Genera) Cell
ing Price Regulation. There were
a few firms whose records were
not complete, but sn effort had
been made to have the proper In
formation available.
The survey also revealed an over
all surplus of lumber. The only
scarcities noted were of certain
grades only, and these were eon
fined to small local areas. The
below - ceiling prices were attribu
ted to the slackening of private
building. It was the concensus of
the interviewed builders that unless
an extensive government building
program is inaugurated suffic
ient scarcities will not develop to
channel lumber into black market
operations or ceiling price viola
tions.
