Jehovah's
Witnesses
At Meeting
“A Christian trying to stay
on the straight and narrow
course that leads to life is
likened to a lone driver try
ing to navigate a narrow, slick
and crooked road on a cold,
rainy night when he is sleepy.
Just because the driver made
an unwise maneuver and slid
off the road, he should not ac
cuse God of abandoning him
and not being interested in his
well-being,” said Joseph Saia,
(the Watchtower Bible Society
official, at the convention of
Jehovah’s Witness in Forest
City last week end.
The Brevard delegation was
among the 771 in attendance
when Mr. Saia said, “Man has
developed a faith in force-rath
er than a force of faith. In the
process they declare that ‘God
is dead,’ and deny the Bible
and its counsel. The result is
the inconsistencies we see to
day. In fact, one religious au
thority made the statement
that “while the religious curve
is up the moral curve is down.’
Another made the statement
that ‘the return to religion has
not produced moral fruitage.’
Jehovah, whose lofty principles
do not change, deplores the in
ternational breakdown of mo
rals and will shortly intervene
to bring it to a halt, much as
he did in ancient Israel’s day.”
Saia assured the convention,
“Man and his affairs interest Je
hovah God. History shows that
God has intervened in men’s
affairs and the world situation
today requires God’s interven
tion again. The interest God
has in men’s affairs is not a
cold, clinical interest, but is a
personal one since each one of
us is, according to Scripture,
‘accountable to Him.’ God’s in
terest in us is like the interest
of a loving father seeking the
welfare of his family.”
Donald A. Jones, presiding
minister of the Brevard congre
gation said, “Our delegation re
ceived much detailed instruc
tions in expanding our local
ministry especially in its teach
ing nhases and Bible tutoring
work.”

Postal Rates To Be Increased
Jan. 7th, Postmaster Announces
Increase rates for all classes
of mail except parcel post and
inter-national mail will go in
to effect January 7th, Postmas
ter Charlie Patton, Jr. remind
ed postal customers today.
“Even with the new rates of
six cents for first - class mail
and 10 cents for air mail, pos
tal service is still a real bar
ibain,” Postmaster Patton de
clared. “For six cents you can
send a letter to any of the 50
States, to any United States
territory or possession, to Can
ada or Mexico, or to an Ameri
can serviceman stationed any
where in the world.”
Postmaster Patton pointed
out that the new rate for post
cards will be five cents and for
air mail post cards eight cents.
He said the added cent in the
letter rate is a 20 percent in
crease compered to a 24 per
cent boost in the rates for mail
ing newspapers and magazines
and a 34 per cent hike for ad
vertising circulars, “occupant”
mail, and other material in the
third - class category.
The new rate of six cents
per ounce for first - class mail
applies up to 13 ounces and the
new rate of 10 cents per ounce
for air mail applies up to 7
ounces. Under the new rate
structure all first - class mail
over 13 ounces and all air mail
over 7 ounces will be merged
into a single category.
These heavier pieces of first
class and air mail subject to
the single rate schedule will be
delivered by the fastest avail
able means of transportation.
A flat rate of 80 cents will
be charged for all mail in this
category up to one pound. For
all mail weighing more than
one pound, the present air par
cel post rates will continue to
apply, except that the postage
on matter weighing between
one and five pounds will change
at half-pound intervals rather
than one pound intervals.
Postmaster Patton said that
the new rate structure will
mean a reduction of postage
on some parcels.
Another rate change that
will affect the general public is
the increase from four to six
cents for the first two ounces
of individual pieces of third
class mail. Unsealed greeting
cards may be 9ent at this rate,
Postmaster Patton said.
He emphasized that the new
rate on unsealed greeting cards
will not go into effect until
January 7th and until then they
can be mailed at the old rate
of four cents.
Postmaster Patton also noted
that effective January 7th spec
ial handling will be available
on third - class parcels weigh
ing between eight and sixteen
ounces. Special handling has
not been available on these par
cels since 1998, when packages
weighing between eight and six
teen ounces were transferred
from fourth to third-class mail.
There will be no changes in
the charges for special delivery,
BEST. The Pack repeated the
Cub Scout Promise led by Rus
sell Folger. Refreshments were
served following the meeting.
When yen think ef preeerip
dons, think ef VARNER’S, adv.
jpecial handling, registered
nail, cash on delivery or in
surance, Postmaster Patton
said.
“We have an ample supply of
me-cent stamps, on hand,” Post
master Patton said, “for those
people who have five - cent
stamps, and need one - cent
stamps to make up the postage
required under the new rates.”
Higher, rates also will go in
to effect January 7th for all
categories of second-class mail,
bulk-rate third-class mail, con
trolled circulation mail, and
the educational materials cate
gory of fourth - class mail.
Mailers using these classes who
need information on the new
rates should contact the locaL
Post Office, Postmaster Pat
ton Said.
