I would l : ke to tell you whet I consider the type of service the Am erican people have a right to expect when dealing with the largest bu&nees operation in the world.” in aauition to improving relat.ons with customers, Pos.master Buck said, the “Customer’s Bill of Rights” can expedite handling of tra nsaCvionu at the w.sdows and make ihe service more ef f.cient. He urged Burnsville resi dents to assist in thitf effort, by stating their needs clear ly, and having money and any necessary filled-out forms ready for transactions. The Postmaster explained that demands on w ndOw personnel, who must deal with a wide variety of informa tion, forms and varying ser vices, are usually very heavy, and postal customers can as sist them me-ting the new service goal* by being as href and business-like as possible.

Muoe a.iu officials of his admuiistrauon met with Sec ot Labor Willard Wirtz, tec. oi Commerce John T. Conner, and Sec. of Health, Educuoon and Welfare Joh.i W. Garantr. They also con ferred with members oi North Caioiina’s Congressional De legat on. Subjects discussed included employmnet of students as school bus drivers. The Gov ernor and Supt. of Publ c In struct.on Charles F. Carroll scheduled the conference wi.h Secretary Wirtz because of a Fa r Labor Standards Act provision which would prohi b t teen-agers under age 18 from driving school buses. Such action could cr pple Nor th Carolina’s school transpor tation system, wh ch is op erated largely by hkh School s u<vts under the age limitation. An exha-ge of letters ard telephone conversations between the Grver-or and the Secretary brought about a temporary exemption for Nor h Carol na from th's pro vision.
