Surprisingly enough, Neal
had more people at his session
last night than usual.
However, there were far too
few Blacks.
It is almost apparent that
too few Blacks are interested
enough in the political aspects
of the nation.

If you think a package goes
unnoticed at the Post Office,

saia an umaentmea man went
?to -the Ardmore branch ?and mailed
two packages and left.
After he left, a clerk there
got a little suspicious of the
packages and showed them to
his supervisor.
"The reasons -for the
suspiciousness on their part
was the "unpermissable
writings'' on the outside of the packages,"
he said.
The packages were addressed
to Charles Manson
and President Gerald Ford,
said Wilson.
Wilson said after the
package was discovered, they
called the postal inspector,
O.R. Scott, in order to check
the packages since they might
pose a threat to the life of the
President.
After Scott was called,

After they found nothing,
the U.S. attorney's office in
Greensboro gave the bomb
experts the authority to use a .
charge in order to get inside
the packages.
Wilson also said that both
packages were small and that
the heaviest one weighed
about three pounds. "Even
though there was nothing
dangerous inside, the packages
were not allowed to go on
through the mail," he said.
"The contents of the
packages contained a game
(apparently some plastic
blocks) and a number of
photos of "practically everything

commented. Wilson did s*v
