VETERANS MAY
NOW TRAIN FOR
POSTAL JOBS
Postmaster Genernal W. Marvin
Watson revealed today that more
than 1.000 veterans have qualified
for career postal positions through
training at 16 military installations
in the Atlanta Region under "proj
ect Transition," established last
January to qualify Vietnam and
other veterans for postal jobs.
"To date, 1,167 members of the
armed forces have received the
special training and all but 126
have passed examinations which
qualify them for career appoint
ments' in the Postal Service," Mr.
Watson said "About 200 trainees
will be graduated every two weeks
with about 85 percent passing the
clerk carrier or mail handling
postal examinations," he said.
In the Atlanta Region, which
includes the states of Florida
Georgia, North Carolina, and South
Carolina, Project Transition has
been established at: Eglin Air
Force Hace, Naval Air Station at
I'ensacola, Naval Air Station and
"Ships at Sea" at Jacksonville,
Key West Naval Station, Tyndall
Air Force Base, and Mac Dill Air
Force Bace at Tampa, Florida;
Fort Gordon at Augusta and Fort
Benning at Columbus, Georgia;
Fort Bragg at Fayetteville and
Camp Lejeune at Jacksonville,
North Carolina; Charleston Naval
Base, Charleston Air Force Base,
Fort Jackson at Columbia, and
Shaw Air Force Base at Sumter,
South Carolina.
"Throughout the nation, an es
timated 3,000 servicemen have re
ceived such training," the Post
master General said. "Ultimately
the post office intends to turn out
2,000 trainees each month."
Mr. Watson made the announce
ment following an inspection tour
of Atlanta's Main Post Office and
the Federal Annex, one of six post
al activities he visited here recent-
iy.
Project Transition is a joint
endeavor in which the military
provides trainees and training
facilities and local post offices as
sign instructors to teach basic
postal skills. Participants are
then encouraged to take the civil
service examination leading to
career postal employment.
"Trainees have been passing
the examination nationally at a
rate of more than 80 percent," Mr.
Watson said. "Best estimates
currently available show that a
bout 20 percent are taking em
ployment with post offices."
"We are well on our way, and I
think that military commanders
of these installations, and the At
lanta Region, under the leadership
of Director Banks Gladden, deserve
a great of credit," Mr. Watson
said. Atlanta Region conducted
one of the pilot projects late last
year which led to the development
of the program throughout the
United States during the late win
ter and spring.
House Passes
(Contiuued From Page One)
action on gun control legislation
will not be taken until September,
after the political conventions.
The House measure would ex
tend to rifles and shotguns re
strictions provided in the recently
enacted crime control bill on sales
of handguns.
The bill also would forbid the
over-the-counter sale to non-residents
who do not lire in adjoin
ing states, but an amendment ap
proved on the floor makes this
less restrictive.
The amendment, sponsored by
Rep. Detbert L. Lfttta, R-Ohio,
and paeeed by voice "Vote, would
permit a nonresident" of a state
to purchase a long gun-if he signs
an affidavit that his own weapon
haa been lost, stolen or become
inoperative. The dealer, would
then notify the purchasers police
department of the sale.
The bill also would prohibit the
sale ct kwc guns to anyone under
18 years old and handguns to any
one under Amraanition for
those gam could not be sold to
anyone in those age brackets. -

"Hopefully," Mr. Wateon added,
Congress will correct this situa
tion."
Postmaster Ramsey emphasized
that the Post Office Department
agreed to the reduction in funds
for the 1969 fiscal year that be
gan July 1, and is not asking for
a restoration of any money cut
from its budget.
"The Postmaster General," Mr.
Kamsey explained, tola us we
could operate within our budget
and maintain postal services at
or near their present level if we
did not have to reduce employ
ment to the June 1966 level."
Mr. Ramsey noted also that he
has been directed to submit his
plans by September 1 regarding
his proposals on how and' when
Saturday delivery on city residen
tial routes should be handled lo
cally.
An effective date for the elim
ination of Saturday residential de
livery here and nationally is then
expected to be established by the
Department, the postmaster ex
plained. The exact total out of the over
all employment cut that will ap
ply locally is not yet known, and
4t will be affected to some extent
by the rapidity of job turnover in
the local staff in the months im
mediately ahead. However, the
postmaster said he expects the
cut to be serious.
To make the overall cutback to
the 1966 level, post offices have
been ordered to fill only three out
of four vacancies as they occur.

in years past to get he opening
breakdown j underway , wftfo the
pitojper flair and to set the .tone
of the evening's doings.
t Much of the Festival's tone and
color will lie in its mountain dan
cing youthful doggers from
Murphy and Plumtree, Cattail and
Franklin "will clatter and stamp a
crora the stage ready to move
through the traditional figure of
mountain, "round dancing.
For this is a get-together where
the spotlight ehines brightly on
the traditional of the mountains . .
where the ballads that are sung
and the tunes that are playedl are
the ballads and tunes which have
been handed unwritten from par
ent to child.
That which is new each year is
the answer to the question, "Who
is the best?"
Who is the best traditional buck
dancer. Who can play the dulci
mer best. Who's the best banjo
picker. Who calls the best square
dance. Which is the best mountain
string band. Who is the best oldi
time fiddler? And the big ones,
which smooth and clog dance
teams will reign supreme in West
ern North Carolina for the com
ing twelve months?
This Southern Highland Festi
val is probably the only one of
national prominence that exclusive
ly caters to its own. No attempt
is made to bring in name perform
ers. Rather the door remains op
en to the young man or woman
from Haywood or Madison, Cher
okee or Yancey, who seeks a plat
form for his talent.
To keep this door open to new
talent, the Lunsfords set aside
the ninety minutes before the
Asheville City Auditorium seats
are filled to audition those who
would be heard. Many go on stage
immediately in a pre-program
program. Others are heard at the
stage door, or in dressing rooms
off stage.
Although it is the oldest, as
folk festivals go, the Mountain
Dance and Folk Festival is ever
unpredictable, and as a result ev
er new.
Out of his knowledge of per
formers, folklorist Lunsford pro
duces the only unprogrammed ma
jor folk even of its kind. One
factor may be that mountain men
don't program easily, and the oth
er is that both Lunsfords prefer
to "play it ty audience mood."
Literally to arouse an audience
lulled by the grace and rhythm
of a smooth square dance team,
with its startling sounds of old
time hunter Sam Hunnicutt's call
to his bear dogs.
And although a hint of Grand
Old Opry and Blue Grass will findl
its way on their stage, the Luns
fords accept it with grace . . . .
knowing that which remains will
be as it has been . . . the enduirng
folk tunes preserved by the ridges
and coves of these mist-purpled
mountains.
