!77i/s is National Employ the Physically Handicapped Week National Employ the Physically^ Handicapped Week, being observed this week throughout the nation, emphasizes the importance of em , plovers' hiring handicapped work ers. Mrs. Julia P. Tenney, manager of the Morehead City Employment Security office, said this week, “A disabled person on relief costs the government YOUR tax money . . . total utilization of our national skills and resources would result in a balanced and stable national economy. “If hiring the physically handi capped is good for the nation’s business, would it not be good for your business?” Co-chairmen of the 1960 Empl^’ the Physically Handicapped Week in this county are George W. Dill, mayor of Morehead City, and W. H. Potler, mayor of Beaufort. Members of the committee are Garland Scruggs, Luther Hamilton Jr., E. H. Swann, Miss Ruth Peel ing, and C. E. Edwards, all of Morehead City, and C. L. Beam, Allen Willis, Holden Ballou, Miss Georgie Hughes, and Mrs. W. I. Loftin, all of Beaufort. The committee chairmen pointed out this week that there is no re habilitation therapy like a pay check — that a physically handi capped worker is hired for his abil ities and not his disabilities. In a statement from the com mittee, rehabilitation was defined as a special program of physical and vocational training tailor-made i to prepare an ambitious, witling to-work handicapped person to do the kind of job an employer needs done in his business. Many employers have found that handicapped workers turn out bet ter-than-average work. The ESC office manager said, “World competition makes full utilization of resources and de velopment of hidden assets manda tory. The hidden assets of our na tional labor pool are the handi t capped workers.” Harvey V. Higley, administrator of veteran affairs, 'said, “We can’t afford to handicap our nation by not hiring handicapped workers.” The ESC’ office sent this week to a hundred employers in the county a letter relative to hiring the han dicapped and a pamphlet. The office has on file now appli cations from 22 handicapped per sons who want work. Three of them are women and seven are veterans. Anyone needing, an employee is invited to contact the ESC office, just west of the fire station on Evans street in Morehead City, phone PA6-5126. Alabaman Will be Guest Speaker at Newport Elam B.

Summerfield operates a high speed electronic machine being developed t* process part of 64 billion pieces of mail that flow yearly through 33,000 postoffices. This machine faces each letter In the proper position for canceling, locates and cancels stamps at the rate of 30,000 letters an hour. An all-time high in the nation s’ mail volume was reached during fiscal vear 1960 ending June 30. This continued the steady upward trend of the past seven years at a rate which exceeds the population growth, according to information from the annual report of the post office department. In Morehead City, receipts of the postoffice climbed from $72,646.10 in 1953 to $88,542.05 last year, ac cording to Harold Webb, postmas ter. The national total for the year has been estimated as 63.6 billion pieces of mail, including one bil lion pieces of parcel post. It was stated that this would mean an in crease of nearly 25 per cent over the corresponding figures for 1953 when the annual volume was 50.9 billion pieces. During this same period, it was pointed out, the revenue of the de partment also has shown an im pressive gain with an increase from $2,091,714,000 in fiscal year 1953 to $3,276,800,000 for fiscal year 1960. While the mail votume showed an increase of 16 billion pieces han dled annually, the employment in crease during this same period amounted to only 11 per cent. City delivery service has been started in 800 communities in addi tion to the extension of literally hundreds of routes which were al ready in operation. This required the equivalent of 31,000 more let ter carriers to serve approximate ly 9,000,000 more American fami lies and upwards of 700,000 more business concerns. The department's ever-improv ing efficiency is shown by the an nual volume of mail handled per man-year of employment—exclud ing city carriers. In 1953 the total handled by one man was 132,900 pieces of mail. For 1960 the cor responding figure was 157,060. In a recent speech postmaster general Arthur Sumraerfield said that by 1970 our population is ex pected to be 208,000,000 and that our annual mail volume will be doubled within the next 25 yean.

(AP) — Midship men at the US Naval Academy, where bachelorhood is enforced by regulation, are on a parenthood kick. , One Middie has become a ‘papa" and at least 14 others are “expect ing.” All have the blessing of the academy. Midshipman Roy Fitzgerald, a first-classman (senior) from West Hartford, Conn., started the ball rolling. He adopted a 13-year-old boy, a Polish refugee living in West Germany, through Foster Parent Plan Inc. Fitzgerald's cash allowance from the Navy comes to about $15 a month. So he enlisted the help of 14 buddies, who each agreed to chip in a dollar a month. And a prouder bunch of “uncles” would be difficult to find. Each is planning to adopt a boy of his own through the plan after moving up to ensign pay in June. But it may not stop there. “I think we have started some thing,” says Midshipman Frank Thomas of Geneva, Fla. “Other midshipmen are thinking about adopting a refugee.” After graduation Fitzgerald will be able to take over the entire $15 a month needed to support the Pol ish youth, whose name is Ryszard Iwanowskis.

Fitzgerald plans to look up Rysz ard this summer. He and his roommate, Elmer Kopp Jr. of Hanover, Pa., one of the foster “uncles,” are planning a trip to Europe in the two months between the time they graduate and report to active duty. The Polish youngster has writ ten he likes to “play cowboy,” and I next month Fitzgerald and the fos ter “uncles” will be digging a lit tle deeper to send him a play set of six-shooters. The $15 the Middies chip in each month provides the boy with food, clothing, medical care and a $8 cash grant.
