Trial & Error Wedded bliss seems to have gone Sour for a couple in Duplin County! A man was in the Post Office re cently complaining about the trials and tribulations of married life. He complained that it was getting so onberable he had to do something about it. The Post Master, trying u be sympathetic to the . fellow, asked bim his age! He immediately told him that he was 83 and his wife was 73. The postmaster then asked him how long he had been married, and bis reply was "since June." . , Through curiosity the other day, I was reading every thing in the papers written by a columnist. It was a curiosity indeed to see Ine different items about which colum nist write; The subjects have such a wide scope of interest that they took in every item- from soup to nuts. And yet it Is quite funny that on weeks in which you stay the bus iest, there is the least to write about. Perhaps, the busier you stay, the less you talk. It pity that a lot of us do not stay busier! For there afe a lot of things' said thai would surely be better had they not been said. But I will not get off on the subject of gossip,for I could fill the entire paper on that subject.

In his address. Congressman Hen derson. who represents TV.rT))ird I congressional District, said io other activity of the Federal Gov ernment more directly affects the lives of all citizens than the Postal Service. In spite of the tremendous strides we have made In communi cations within the past few decad es, the United States mail remains the most widely used agency of communication in the Nation." He pointed out that through mail services people "correspond with friends and loved one, mail order merchandising and advertising would disappear" without postal service. He added, "Without postal service business and commercs would be disrupted. Magazines and similar publications would go out of business and newspapers would have to resort entirely to private delivery." Congressman Henderson, who is a member of the Post Office Com mittee of the United States House of Representatives, pointed out the dependance every citizens has of postal services and the reliability of the Post Office Department. "I consider the postal service In be of great importance because it is the only agency of our Federal Government found in every com munity and the one which has the most direct contact with all of our citizens. The Post Office is often the only building in the community which flies the United States Flag every day. and to many people, it symbolizes the presence of the Fed eral Government In every city, town and community," Congress man Henderson said. He pointed out that an effort is being made across the United Sta tes to upgrade (he standard and physical structures and all facili ties of the Post Office. Congress man Henderson concluded his re marks with, "As your Representa tive in Congress, I shall strive to preserve the American concept of a Government which serves the people, not only in the Post Office. but in every phase of its activity." Congressman Henderson was in troduced by Morrison Smith. K. J. Williams, Field Services Officer with the United States Pos' Office, was also present. After be ing introduced by LaGrange Post master Marvin D. Harper, Williams that small communities such as Seven Springs is what makes Amer ica strona. He said that many new Post Offices are being constructed but that all are needed. "Our new Post Offices are a part of the community they serve and pay their way just as other busi nesss in taxes." "I would like to urge all Postal emplyoees to re-dedicate them selves to serving their community at all times because this is so very important," Williams aald.
