The first came in early fall when Florida Mends, spending a brief vacation in Crossnore, invited me over for dinner and a talk session in front of a mas sive stone fireplace roaring and snapping from the flames of good oak logs. When time came, for the re turn trip to Boone, I was presen ted a shoe box tied neatly with a ribbon and asked to guess the BREACOL I I COUGH SYRUP 7 I Ret $1 39 I $1.98 * | CEPACOL : I MOUTHWASH 0 2 R °.r $1 19 I $1.70 4 I j LOZENGES f M - 49$ \ U II vaseline I INTENSIVE /_ \ CARE / \ LOTION Reg. $1.25 ■£ ■I 79’ I CONTAC 8 [VQ I rl:\i,9 I SHOP ■ AID ■ AND SAVE |tD contents* A weighing and 4 shaking brought no hint. But a whiff from under one edge of > the lid brought an unmistakable smell—rich, resiny, "lighter pine" or "kindling wootf," as ’ we called it in my boyhood. It immediately brought me mories of boyhood woodcutting chores, of autumn bouts with rotting pine stumps, imprisons! axe blades, and occasional bra* ken handles in attempting to get to the rich, solid heart of the stump. Then bringing the resiny sticks home to stack by the wood box behind the huge wood stove in the kitchen. Before bedtime my mother would carefully lay the break fast fire with crushed newspa - pers, bits of kindling, and pieces of "scantling"— bark covered saw boards from the outer surface of logs squared for lumber at the nearby log mill. When daylight came, she would scurry to the stove,drop Baxter Votes Rate Increase The board of directors of Baxter Laboratories, Inc., to day voted to increase the quar terly dividend rate oh the com - pany’s common stock.

McDougald, son of Mr. and Mrs. James A. McDougald of Route 5, Burns ville, N.C., has graduated from the Tactical Air Com mand Noncommissioned Offi cer Academy at Langley AFB, Virginia.

The Digest, for example, estimates that if the increases go through as plan ned they will raise its bill for second-class postage alone from the present $7 million year to sl6 million! That's in addi - tion to $4 million increase in first-class postage. Passing along these postal increases, along with increases for paper and other factors, could raise the price of a sub scription from tire present $A 97 . * jt-y i jfj - d ■ .. jsafflMllHßßmMfe'. ■ || Wmmfflßm ß Mr. And Mrs. T.

If other publications are forced to increase their prices in similar fashion, the result could be to create a magazine industry for the affluent only, the article says. "In other words, lower income Americans, the very people who perhaps most need an inexpensive means of con - tinuing education, are the main losers." The article declares that magazines and newspapers are captive customers" of the U.S. Postal Service which is a legal monopoly. Even so, much of the work of sorting, bagging and shipping magazines is done by private truckers, rather than the Postal Service. But there's a catch* "At the end of each truck's journey, it must back up to a post-office ramp, where the bags are handed over to the Postal Service for the age -old give-it-to-the-mailman sys tem of delivery. " For two centuries, it has been U. S. postal policy not to take unfair .-’dvantage of this mono poly. Following a policy first established by Benjamin Frank lin, Congress has since 178 2 granted rates which allowed ma gazines and newspapers to be mailed at less than cost,because these periodicals were consider ed an educational service to the nation. In 1973, for all periodicals, this support amounted to $l9O million. "Few public policies have been more successful —or a better bargain," the article declares. For an annual charge of about a dollar per capita,the Post Office helps to maintain tiie health of newspaper* and magazines, which together con stitute our most powerful medi um for the continuing educatim of citizss. But under terms of the Postal Reorganization Act of 1970,the Postal Service is requiredby law to establish rates that by 1976 will make almost every class of mail pay its own way. Many who voted for the Act did so on the assumption that modern busi ness techniques would help the Postal Service reduce costs and improve service, and that rates would not skyrocket. In the words of R ep. Olin T eague of Texas, "The assumption proved wrong." Instead, service remain substantially the same,costs are rising, and the Postal Service is demanding second-class rate in creases that could soar 200 or 300 percent! How can disaster be averted? The Digest recommends two steps: one immediate,the other long-range. First, it urges that Congress act favorably on a bill sponsored by Gen. Gale McGee (D. , Wyo. ) that would phase in the payment by magazines of their full postal costs over the next eight years instead of the next three. Rep. James Han ley (D., N.Y.), supports simi lar legislation. For the longer range, the article declares: "Congress should take a hard look at its basic decision to make periodi cals pay their full costs. For we don't see how anyone can logically defend a decision that is almost certain to kill off a large segment of one of this country's most fundamentally important institutions." The article urges readers to write their Congressmen— and additionally Sen. McGee and Rep. Hanley. A fly alighting on a steel bar will cause the steel to bend under its weight.
