First Union National Bank in
Marshall presented a 92
frame color sound filmstrip to
county schools as a public
service on November 15.

pointed out some interesting
facts, as follow:
Did you know that more
than 10 billion checks are
written each year in the
United States? Or that W
percent of aD transactions are
by check? Or that yoar
deposits art now government
wired up to 120,000.00 for
each account? If these figures
seam too large to understand,
stop a minute and ponder this

by the Federal Reserve
Board, our present check

ft aB appears at first to be
beyond imagination and,
perhaps a little mysterious.
Let as understand that our
jeat banking system is the
very essence of fret en
terprise and has made ours
fbe richest, mightiest, and
most envied nation in the

limits would be changed,"
Hawke said. "We have about
5300 signs to deal with and we

County Postmasters today
Joined Postmaster General E.
T. Klassen in urging residents
to post their domestic and
foreign Christmas mail one to
two weeks earlier than the
Postal Service originally
recommended, so that the
energy shortage will not in
terfere with on-time
deliveries.
"The urgency of the fuel
energy crisis compels us to
request a one-week ad
vancement of suggested dates
w gave for domestic mail and
a two-week advancement for
foreign mail," the Post
masters said.
The new deadline for
posting domestic first-class
Christmas mail is December 8
rather than December 15 as
previously announced.
Domestic surface parcels,
except those for Alaska and
Hawaii, should be mailed by
December 3, instead of
December 10. To Alaska and
Hawaii, mail by November 2.1
instead of November 30
Airmail parcels and letters
within the United States
(except Alaska and Hawaii)
should now be posted no later
than December IS, rather than
December 21. To Alaska and
Hawaii, mail by December 13.
rather than December 20
"The seriousness of the fuel
shortage to the Postal Serv ice
is underlined," the Post
masters said, "by the fact that
in addition to the fuel con
sumed by commercial air
carriers, we require ap
