HOUSTON From Page 1-A with a collection of oils on a year- long circuit of South Carolina mu- seums. Though Houston has sold sever- al of her paintings, she said she re- sists painting for that purpose. "I really just paint for enjoy- ment," she says. Houston, who describes herself as a doer, went back to college after she college- educated two daughters while working three jobs. In the Depression years her first job was as a saleslady in a dress shop mak- ing $10.50 a week. She retired from the Charlotte Observer in 1957 after 20 years working the front information desk at the newspaper, handling classified ads and personnel calls. "I saw everyone who came in and working for a newspaper was an education in itself," she said. During a varied career she has lived in Florida three times and in five other Southern States. She never found it difficult to get a job and loved to move around. Growing up in Birmingham, Ala., she sold air-conditioning units as the only woman in outside sales at the time. She did major renovation when she bought her small house, mov- ing out of a townhouse in Camden. - | The garage became her drawing room, she “enclosed a side porch, - paved the driveway and planted trees. The family includes Gwen Wilkens of Hilton Head and Penny McRae of Charlotte, three grand- children and four great-grandchil- dren. As a newcomer she has found Kings Mountain people very friendly and she gets the reputation as the community watch lady of the community. Her roots are here now.

On Monday, 19,027 pieces of mail went through the equipment for distribution to postal patrons. Since 1989 Howard estimated the U.S. Postal Service has saved or avoided approximately $5 bil- lion in processing and delivery op- erations directly affected Loy au- tomation. The new equipment has an accu- racy rate of 98.6 to 99.6, according to Moss, and it alleviates errors. Moss said that when the new Post office opened Thanksgiving Day 1986 that the only technical equip- ment in place was a calculator. "High tech is really the thing for all businesses now," he said. Other members of the advisory board are Tom Brooks, Mary Perkins, Rick Moore and Gary Whitaker. Rotarian Joe Smith, an official of Foust Textiles, said customers can make their mail automation compatible by machine printing or typing addresses in clear plain let- ters with each line of the address flush left. Because scanners must distinguish between the type and the envelope, black type on a white background is preferred. "While all this may sound com- plicated, it really isn't," said Howard. By simply making a few changes in your normal addressing habits, you ensure that your mail receives the most efficient process- ing possible, while also having the satisfaction of knowing you are do- ing your part to keep U.S. postage stamps one of the best bargains in the world.
