Western North Carolina is
shivering in the grip of a cold
wave. The coldest day of the 20th
century for much of the Midwest
found travelers stranded in
blinding blizzards and thousands
left without power Sunday in
wind chills as low' as 90 degrees
below zero. The freezing weather
is all the way to the Gulf states

Free medical care for veterans
may end. The government
concerned that millions of World
War II servicemen will soon be
eligible for free medical care
may have to stop offering no-
strings attached treatment to all
veterans over 65, according to
Robert Nimmo, the head of the
Veterans Administration.

Away With
Sunday Delivery
Bill Barham, Tryon
Postmaster, has sent letters to
box holders in the Tryon Post
Office, proposing that effective
Sunday, Jan. 31st, mail will no
longer be placed in the boxes on
Sunday at the Tryon Post Office.
In his letter Mr. Barham stated:
"In recent weeks, special
attention has been placed on Post
Office Lockbox service. During
this period, it has been
determined that only a small
percentage of boxholders are
using our Sunday Lockbox
Service. Due to the high cost of
transporting mail from Asheville
on Sunday, the cost of heating/
cooling the Tryon, N. C. post
office and the salary of
employees to place this mail in
the lockboxes, I have determined
that discontinuance of this
service would show a significant
savings.”
An Editorial
The U. S. Postal Service has
done nothing but raise rates, and
give less service. The latest
involves the increase of 2nd Class
postage affecting newspapers,
magazines and non-profit
organizations. This was done
without a hearing or without
notification. There is no one that
you can appeal to, it has become
another of government's
bureaucracies.
