Jones (D-N. C.) announced today a major . new postal service program that will for the first time expand home deliveries to a large number of postal patrons throughout the First District. Under the program, persons living more than a quarter mile, but less than a half a mile, from a post office that does not have city delivery are now eligible to receive the delivery at home. Previously, they have been compelled to go to the post office for their mall. Since these patrons live leu than half a mile away from a post office, or near a post office that does not have city delivery ser vice, they have not been eligible to receive rural or city delivery service prior to the new order, the Congressman explained. ' Congressman Jones stated further that he had been advised that the Postmaster General is Issuing instructions in the Postal Bulletin Thursday making the new service available to those families living in the eligible areas. . The only requirement to obtain the service is that it must be requested of the postmaster, and a majority of those living in the area must desire the service. The expansion will be achieved by such steps as extending shorter rural routes and adding delivery stops to some rural routes. In other instances, "star" or contract routes may be used to provide the service; in some locations it may be necessary to establish new rural routes, Congressman Jones stated.

W - J I LP' 7 Peopl lobster Valued at '25.00 Some of the fish and lobsters tagged by biologists of the N.C Division of Commerical and Sports Fisheries are now worth up to $25 each, according to Ed j McCoy, Chief of the Division's i research section. The Division has been of Iferlng a $1 reward for each 'returned tag. Fishermen have been cooperating, but to increase i their incentive to return tags we (have started to place 15, $10, $25 lvalues on some tags," McCoy ; said. Therefore, If a fisherman catches a tagged fish and returns the lag to the Division's Morehead City office, he could get a $5, $10, $25 reward. He will at least get a dollar. "Of course,'' McCoy said, "the majority of the tags will be worth $1." Return of the tags is extremely important. Studies of migration and growth cannot be completed unless tags are returned. Fish are caught by biologists, tagged, then released back into the water. When a tag is returned later the biologists know where the fish traveled and how much it grew,' .'' The higher value tags will be selected randomly. If a fisher man catches a tagged fish he will not know the value of the tag until he mails it in. , Fish and lobsters have been tagged, and any tags returned will be automatically in the running for the higher rewards. Besides lobsters, striped bass .and sturgeon have been tagged recently, along with a scattering of other kinds of fish. Tagging of (these species will continue. Future plans call for tagging of sea trout, croaker, spot, channel bass, and others. Tags are lengths of spaghetti- shaped, yellow, plastic anchored below the dorsal fin of fish, and on the back of lobsters. Fishermen are urged to include information about when and where the tagged fish was caught, how large it was (length and weight) and what type gear was used to catch it. McCoy' asked fishermen to send tags to Box 338, Morehead City, N.C. 28557.

This is one of a series of workshops to be held in each of the State's eight educational districts.

"During this two-day workshop, local planners will identify occupations where there is a critical shortage of man power and also emerging oc cupations in our State's rapidly changing r economy," said Superintendent of Public In struction Craig Phillips. n Master ep best WGDjilOS pta r Scheduled Tonight The Hertford Grammar School PTA will hold its monthly meeting tonight at the school.
