At BCHS Ralph King, Assist ant Superintendent of Bruns wick County Schools, was joined by Arthur J.

Livingston announced this week. Letter carriers throughout the Southport area have delivered “no postage needed” cards to each of their residential delivery stops. The cards have blanks for addresses used most often, but for which individuals do not know the proper Zip Codes. After placing their uncoded addresses on the cards, pref erably printed legibly, they may be dropped into any letter box or returned to their letter carrier. The Southport Post Office will add the appropriate Zip Codes and return the cards to the mail er. The project is part of Post master General Lawrence F. O’Brien’s program to make Zip Codes more accessible to the mailing public. The cards carry a message from Postmaster General O'Brien advising that Zip Coded mail helps provide better serv ice. Postmaster Livingston em phasized the Importance of in cluding a return address on the front of the cards so they may be returned after addresses have been coded. Incomplete ad dresses which are submitted but' cannot be Zip Coded by the local post office, such as those in a city like Washington, D. C. which has the same street names and numbers in the northeast, north west, southeast and southwest sections, will be sent to the ap propriate city and the codes will be added there. “This is a good time to get the Zip Codes missing from your lists,” Postmaster Livingston noted. “This Christmas, Zip Code will be as Important as shopping and mailing early for the efficient and on-time delivery of the record-breaking avalanche of mail expected in the pre-holi day weeks.” Additional cards are available from your letter carrier or postal delivery sta tion. Postmaster General O’Brien announced May 19 that steps were being taken to make Zip Codes more accessible to the (Continued on Page 4) Small Increase In Taxes Seen Many of the citizens of Bruns wick County are asking "If the school bond is approved on November 8, how much will this increase my taxes?” In an effort to answer this most vital question the informa tion listed below was compiled by the Board of Education office based on statistical information furnished by the Tax Department of Brunswick County, according to Ralph C. King, Assistant Superintendent of the Brunswick Company Schools. King stated, "It should be noted that the average tax bill in Bruns wick county is approximately$50 and thereby, if the School Bond Issue is approved, it will mean a tax increase of approximately $8.25 to the average taxpayer.” Tide Table Following is the tide table for Southport during the week.
