The huge mobile home over turned almost perfectly hori zontally across the highway at the bottom ofa hill about a mile east of Maplevllle, completely blocking th# highway. The Lou lsburg Rescue Service, enroute home from a call near Bunn, dispatched a unit to the scene to set up flares to prevent anyone from crashing into the wreckage.

More Chiefs Per Indian N In Franklin Local governmental process es are found to be less stream lined In Franklin County than they are In most parts of the South Atlantic States. The business of government Is being carried on through the use of a larger number of agencies and official bodies than Is the case elsewhere. The facts and flgnres ar? brought out In a special sur vey made b^the Department of Commerce and released un der the title "Census of Gov ernments, 1962." It Is the first national study of the kind since 1957. Such surveys are made per-, lodlcally to determine what It takes, In number of govern mental agencies, to provide school services, water supply, sanitation, police and fire pro tection, health and welfare and the many other services In a community needs. In Franklin County, It is shown these functions are carried on through 5 governmental units, all of which have property-tax ing power. A breakdown of this total re veals that there are 4 munici pal governments in the county, no township governments, no fiscally Independent school dis tricts, no special districts and the county government Itself. The survey shows that the number of these public agencies locally, In terms of population, Is above that In most communi ties. There Is one such agency for every 5,751 local residents. to Rocky Mount. Only rela tively minor damages were sustained by either the tractor or the trallor and the rig was driven back to Loulsburg fol lowing up- righting by a local motor company wrecker. Trooper Byrd said that no charges were made against the driver. , Awards Presented Chief Petfy Officer A. M 1 Robert?, of the U. S.

Ttuv blajy, of undetertimed origin, was discovered about 3 a.m. and destroyed or heavily damaged most of the roof and overhead structure before It was brought under. control. Half "of the large concrete . block and metal building was used to collect and store saw dust from the Company's plain er mill to fire the huge boiler in the other half of the building.

Past and efficient work by the firemen, and a dash Into the -spoke and flame filled build ing by Manager W. W.

ZipCode In Effect .. July 1st Postmasters In Loutsburg, Frankllnton, Younijvllle and Bunn yesterday made public the five - digit "JtP CODE" numbers that will be used on all correspondence all over the nation to speed mall delivery ami reduce the chance of m to sent mall beginning* July 1. The new codes for the towns are as follows; Loulsburg 27549; Frankllnton 27523; Youngsvllle 27596; and Bunn 27508. ? ... The so-called "Zip Code Plan" Is the Post Office De partment's revolutionary new system of Improved mall dis patch and delivery which goes tnto effect nationally on July 1, and It Is vitally Important that everyone* len his c^j's Zip Code and us^t In thew return address on all correspondence "?gwell as using the Code taken froJh- return addresses on in coming wall In answering all mall. The ZlpCodelsSupposedtobe _ literally the last work lii mailing addressing and should (olid*^he name ol the city and state InaiJx^ dresses. An examples of the proper use of the Zip Code In a letter frorft Loulsburg Post master E. L. Best to Franklin-' ton Postmaster H. C. Kearney; Is gs follows: (From) E. L. Best, Postmaster U. S. Post Office Loulsburg, N.C. 27549 (To) H. C. Kearney, Postmaster U. S. Post Office Frankllnton, N.C. 27525 Each postal patron will be notified personally of his or her city's or post office's Zip code number by card prior to July 1. The new Zip Code plan, the Department stated, for the first time will permit the Post Office Department to short-cup re peated address reading. "The address on mall must" often be read as many as eight or ten times by postal em ployees, to get It to the proper destination, each handling slows the process of mall dispatch and adds to the opportunity for hu man error. "With Zip Code, aclerk needs only to ..glance at the code to know,, Immediately to what na tional area, state and post of fice the letter Is destined, and to speed It on Its way, cutting up to 24 hours off the time between deposit and delivery and when Zip Code Is In full swing, It * will give the U nlted States the most modern system of mall distribution and delivery In existence." Error In a story In Tuesday's Issue of the Times covering accidents over the week end, the Times erroneously listed Robert Lee Jackson as the driver of one of the cars involved in an accident on N.C. 56 near Frankllnton Sunday. The Times would like to apolo gize to Mr. Jackson for the error and, for any embarrass ment It 'may have caused him. ?]"[- t Masonic Notice There will be a stated com munication of Loulsburg Lodge 413 AF 4 AM Tuesday evening, June 25 at 8 o'clock In the Masonic Temple.
