"You get accustomed to such
temperatures, dress and eat for it,
and. really, you corpe to like it.
I liked it for seven years," the pres
lenl Franklin resident pointed out.
I "When it got down to 65 degrees
below zero it became a little mis
erable at times, but you soon learn
ed to take it without difficulty. The
two or three days of dead silence
which often followed the extreme
cold days is what got on your
nerves. You could not hear a
sound and there seemed to be a
buzzing, which is what grated on
many trappers' nerves," he went
on.
The speaker told of some hair
raising experiences with hungry
wolves, pointing out that he had
never heard of a wolf killing a
man, but he had been frightened
by their consistent howls, and dart
ing back and forth in front of him
in large packs.
His brother was with him two
years in the woods, and he told of
the experiences of competing trap
pers taking game from their traps,
which often meant close calls with
a bullet from the competitor's gun.
Since he trapped in a country
with many streams and lakes, he
often waded the streams before
they froze over, and many times
cakes of ice would be floating down
the river at such times. He told
how he built a fire on the bank
and got warm, while re-dressing
in the snow and starting on the
daily 10-mile hike from cabin to
cabin checking the traps. The trap
line was a 100-mile circle, with the
cabins 10 miles apart.
He stayed in the woods three
months one time without seeing a
soul.
He lived mainly on the game he
killed, and during the extreme cold
weather, no game would stir,
which meant living on emergency
meat held in the cabins for such

During the seven years Smith
killed 22 moose, one was a large
bull moose which he killed with a
pistol, until then an almost un
heard of feat. He wounded the
moose with two shots and then the

and rushed towards Smith, brush
ing so close the antlers of the
moose hit his coat. He fired at
close range as the animal went
by, and the bullets went home,
flattening the moose in a few yards.
Smith related how the forest
would suddenly become an enr

cold when every bit of moisture
in the trees would freeze, and burst
the bark from the trees.

Post Office Dept. Reports
Major Reduction In Deficit
Despite increased costs largely
aue to postal pay raises and other
employee benefits, the Postal de
ficit for the year ended June 30,
1955 was reduced to $3(12 7 mil
lion, according to the annual fi
nancial report of the Post Office
Department released today.
The 1935 deficit is a reduction of
47 per cent from the all-time high
deficit of 1952. Hetroactive to
March 1. 1955, the pay raises added
$40.3 million to the cost of running
the postal establishment in 1955.
The report, compiled by the de
partment's bureau of finance as
part of the new accounting and re
porting procedures recently install
ed. also shows both income and ex
penses higher in 1955 than In
1954 with the increase In revenue
ahead of that in expenses.
In fiscal 1955 postal revenues
were $2,349.5 million, an increase
ol $88.4 million over 1954. Rate
increases accounted for $36.9 mil
lion of this increase, while $51.5
million resulted from greater mall
volume.
Expenses for the year were
$2,712.2 million ?? $39.2 mil
lion more than in the fiscal year
1954. The Increase was due pri
marily to retroactive pay increases
to employees granted by the Con
gress, and the increased volume of
domestic mail.
The volume of domestic mail
handled totalled 54.5 billion pieces
for the year, with the last 6 months
period estimated. This represents
an increase of 2.3 billion pieces of
domestic mail over the fiscal year
1954 or 4.4 per cunt.
The number of post offices serv
ing the nation during the fiscal
year 1955 was 38.316 a decrease of
1.089 during the year.
The number of fourth-class post
offices (receipts of $1,500 or less)
decreased by 1405 during the year
to 15,060 Of the 1405 a total of
1017 were discontinued and mod
ern rural delivery service substi
tuted.
First-class post offices (receipts
of $40,000 or more) increased by
150 to 9,427, and second-class poet
offices (receipts of $8,000 to $40,
000) by 172 to 6,605. Third-class
post offices (receipts of $1,500 to
$8,000) decreased by 6 to a total
of 13,224.
