Campaigns For Vaughn Jean Vaughn campaigned In Burnsville for her husband, Mike, who is running for Congress in the 11th Congressional District. Mike Vaughn, a resident of Asheville, is a graduate of the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and the University of North Carolina School of Law. He is engaged in the private practice of law in Asheville. Mike says he is a “Jeffersonian Democrat. My political philosophy is that a government must be aware of and responsive to the needs of its people. Its greatest obligation is the accomplishment of the most good for all of its citizens.” Mike and Jean have five children and are members of Central United Methodist Church. They hit the campaign trail in unison with Mike at one end of the Congressional District while Jean campaigns at the other, both asking for support in winning the 11th district congressional seat in the next election.

The Council of Governments will contract with the N.C. Office of Employment and Training for funds, and sub-contract to local operators for program implementation in each of the Region’s seven counties. Components included in this year's plan are adult work experience, public service employment, youth work ex perience, class size training, on-the-job-training, and in dividual referral. Sub- Contractors must provide to clients a broad range of counseling, training, employ ment, and supportive ser vices. Requests for proposals (RFP’s) will be available front Monday, August 2 at the Region D C.O.G. Office. Submissions are due by 2;f)0 p.m. on Monday. August 16, AKmsai The Senate has before it a hill, S. 8603, which will subsidize' the U.S. Postal Service to the tune of SSOO million for each of two years, and which forbids any more elimination of services, untO such time as a study commission decides what to do about our troubled mail system. Now, this is a biU about which one is bound to have mixed-, feelings. That subsidy effectively adds in taxes what the Postal J Service cannot raise by any more rate increases. But putting a stop to deteriorating service, and naming a commission to; study whether we want to continue with a “public corporation” or go back to having a Post Office which is a government agency-both of those are very good ideas. I do not believe we can avoid the subsidy. The Postal Service is in such a mess financially that the alternative is clearly the closing of more rural post offices, cut-backs in home | delivery to five days a week, hefty increases in the cost ofj stamps, and even slower service. The problem with the Postal Service, it appears, is salaries. Salaries at the top are high. There are 45 executives who make as much or more than a Senator or Congressman and since the Nixon administration’s conversion of the U.S. Post Office to * semi-public corporation, postal workers can bargain collectively. Since 1971, postal workers’ salaries have risen about 63 percent, while federal workers’ wages have gone up about 40 percent. I don’t begrudge anyone a good living, but you can see what this has to do to the Postal Service, which has to use so much labor. It is hard to agree entirely with the Postal Service’s reaction to the problem. The move to close small, rural post offices M penny-wise and pound-foolish. The savings bom all the smalt post offices closed last year won’t run the Postal Service but fo* 13 minutes. And it is probable we could have kept several smalt North Carolina offices open for the $178,000 the immediate past Postmaster General spent remodeling his office and conference room. The decision to model the mall service on a business ignored one fact-it would have to resemble a monopoly. And it there are three things typical of monopolies, they are lowered service, high prices, and big labor contracts. I feel the delivery of mail ought to be a public service. If we continue as we have, that “let’s cut back service” mentality which seems to prevail will ruin the system completely. On that basis, I am supporting the bill. The subsidy is the price we will have to pay, at least temporarily, for maintaining what service we have left. In the meantime there will be no increase in the price of stamps, no cut-back in delivery, and no more closings of small post offices; We need to face the financial crisis of the mail system. But at the same time we owe it to the people to stem the decline id postal service. { Ml I CBU Concert Set £ Richland Patti Roberta wUI present a live concert In tbe X Asheville Civic Center on Angnat 25th, beginning at 7530 p.«.
