THE MOUNTAINS ARK CALLING NOW— Everybody, il seems, either went to the mountains last
Sunday, or wanted to go. Those who did and went on the Parkway saw scenic beauty in a glorious man
tle of colors. Our Journal photographer made this picture, and others, on a trip along the Parkway last
Sunday. It was a beautiful day with just a touch of crispness in the air to bring out all the love of the
great outdoors.

the Blue Ridge Parkway. The ears have boen shucked and the remainder of the corn is just waiting to be
shredded into feed to fatten some of the finest cattle in the country, along with the plain old milk row.
This scene taken in Doughton Park, on the Parkway, makes you realize that Halloween is nearly here.
THERE ABE LEVEL SPOTS IN THE MOUNTAINS —This scene shows one, of many, beautifully grassed
spots along the Blue Ridge Parkway. It seems that a long the highway when one notices that man has gone
in to make the beauty of the mountains accessible th at he has, at the same time, aided nature by beautify
ing the spots that were marred b'y pavement so that you and I could ride along in comfort and liter
ally absorb the wonders of nature.

ROCK OF AGES— Along this road, cut through rock, are some beautiful rock banks that bring back to the
mind that fine old hymn, "Rock of Ages". Studying these rocks one can make out all kinds of figures. Rocks
provide a ruggedness to the mountain that enhances the beauty of the trees and foliage.

P. 0. Increases
Envelope Cost
New prices for stamped en
velopes are now in effect at
all post offices, Postmaster
Bill White announced today.
The price of a 5-cent stamped
envelope, for example, is now
7-cents when purchased sing
ly or in quantities of less than
500. This is an increase of cne
cent above the previous sin
gle purchase price.
"Price increases are neces
sary to meet the legal require
ment t' at stamped envelopes
shall not be sold for less than
cost," Mr. White explained.
"At present contract price?,
the stamped envelope ser
vice was incurring a loss
exceeding $3 million annua
lly." Thus is in spite of the fact
that the new contract for
stamped envelopes, which be
came effective January 1. '65.
resulted in lowered costs of
$1.5 milion per year com
pared with the previous con
tract.
"The new envelope, which
exceeds all required specifica
tions as to c pacity, bursting
strength and adhesive qua
lity. looks sligh'.y different."
he continued. "The major
changes are in the design of
the flap and the shade of
the paper." The flap is now
pointed rather than rounded
and the paper used is for a
brighter shade.
Prices frr quantities of 500
envelopes or more can be ob
tained from the local office.
A limited number of enve
lope price lists are available
to those customers who pur
