SERVICE AT RIDGEWAY Holy Communion will be celebrated at the Church of the Good Shepherd at Ridgeway on Sunday at 9:30 a. m. the Rev. James M. Stoney, rec Manson's Post Office To Be Dedicated Sundav Manson's new post office will be dedicated at 3:30 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 11, Post master Ellis Fleming an nounced yesterday. Congressman L. H. Foun tain and John W. Wlnburn of the Atlanta Regional Post office Department, are sche duled to speak at the exer cises, which will include flag raising ceremonies. Local Boy Scouts are expected to participate in the exercises, Fleming said. Postmasters from over the county are ex pected to be numbered among the special guests. The new facility at Manson is part of the Post Office De partment's lease construction program, the local post master explained. Under this program, invest ment financing is used to ob tain needed facilities which remain under private owner ship, pay local taxes to the community, and are leased to the Federal Government. This gives the Department some flexibility in adapting its building program to changes in mail volume, transportation and population, Postmaster Fleming said. At the same time, the need for large outlays of money from the Federal Treasury for con struction purposes is elimi nated. The Department isnowcon centrating on constructing new postal units only where ttey are most urgently needed, Fleming said, in areas where it is practical to do so, i ing buildings are undergoing renovation. "The fact that Manson has been chosen for a new post office," Fleming said, "re flects credit on our growing contribution to the economy of the life of the nation." Fleming said that In the event of bad weather, the cere mony will be held at the Drewry Community House. He said that the public Is invited to attend the dedication cere monies. Commenting on the new building, Ellis said: "Our patrons will derive more en joyment from doing business here, their mail will be han dled mora efficiently and this building and its up-to-date equipment will enable our postal employees to work under the best of conditions." "The new system," he added, "will be a link with a postal system that today has over 45,000 postal Installa tions. This system serves more than 190 million Ameri cans and handles nearly half of the world's mall. Our 600,000 postal employees are handling more than 72 pieces of mall a year, Including a billion parcels." Manson has been the site (See POST OFFICE, page 3) MANSON POST OFFICE TO BE DEDICATED SUNDAY ,; The Board of County Com missioners at their Monday morning session approved the distribution of surplus food to needy persons in Warren County and agreed to make ap plication in the next fiscal year to participate in the food stamp plan next fall. Registration of persons wishing to participate in the surplus food program will be gin Monday under the direction of Welfare Director Julian W Farrar, whose office will screen all applications forthe surplus food. Distribution of the surplus food will begin on January 3. Commissioners Richard R. Davis agreed to accept the responsibility of finding a warehouse manager, and Chairman Amos Capps agreed to accept the responsibility of locating a warehouse from which the foods would be dis tributed. Action of the board followed the appearance of a delegation of around half a hundred Negro citizens, with Ernest Turner serving as spokesman, before the commissioners. Turner pointed out that there is a great need for a food pro gram in the county if much suffering is to be avoided dur ing the winter months. He said that he felt that the people of the county would much prefer the stamp plan to the commodtty plan in use here last winter. A poll of the delegation showed that the majority of these present pre ferred the stamp plan. Turner said that while the failure of the cotton crop worsened the condition of many citizens, that low pay, particularly for domestics, would justify a year-round stamp plan. He used as an example one domestic who works six and a half days a week at $18, which, he said, is not enough to support her family. Chairman Amos Capps, pointing out the extent of the failure of the cotton crop, told of one farmer who pro duced only 580 pounds of cot ton on 41 acres. The commissioners agreed with the delegation that some form of relief is imperative, but pointed out that it would be impossible for the coun ty to participate in the stamp plan before April 1. Relief is needed now, the commis sioners said, in ordering that the food distribution plan be started in January. The food program will cover the months of January, Febru ary, March and April. The stamp plan is estimated to cost between $3,500 to $4, 500 a year, in contrast to three or four hundred dollars (See FOOD, page 3) Norlina Firm To Hold Formal Opening On December 16 And 17 E. G.
