The new red brick building, property of Joanna Cotton Mills Company, occupies a gross area of 2,400 square feet including ramp and platform. There are 480 family combination boxes and 10 large business boxes.

There are times, however, when you need to make calls that the operator must handle such as person- to-person, credit card, collect, and calls from pay stations. You can speed up completion of these “operator-handled” calls if you will call by number, and, on out-of-sate calls, furnish the appropriate Area Code to the operator. Area Codes for most cities are listed on page 3 of the Clinton directory or the operatod will be glad to furnish them to you for your frequently called number list.

Joannians are proud of their new postoffice building in the new business section- bordering on Highway 76 and Milton Road. Mrs. Dollie M. Carr, serving her 24th year as postmaster, has even more reason to be proud, because as agent for one of the largest departments of the Uni ted States government she feels she can give better service in the enlarged working space to the patrons of the community. Making comparisons, Post master Carr remembers vividly when she took over the job on Junel 20, 1880, in a small frame buildmg on Milton Road. There were/10 combination boxes and 10 call boxes which seemed ade quate at that time. A big black coal-burning stove warmed the building and burned the protrud ing limbs of workers when holi day rushes called for quicker and unguarded movements. There was not even room for a coal bin and Mrs. Carr, serving as janitor and postmaster raking snow from the coal pile. There was only one entrance to the building and a small 4x12 foor lobby gave standing room to'a limited number of customers who had to stoop to look through the service window when buying stamps and money orders. It was also the job of the post master to meet the trains ar riving in Joanna at 4 and 9 p.m. In 1M8, faciUties on Ellis St. were provided the postal depart ment, at which time it was the general opinion there would nev er be need for more space than in use in the new building. The box section had been en larged to 75 combination boxes, with air conditioning and cen tral heating piped in from the Joanna Mills. Two large writing tables and ceiling-to-floor win dows in from afforded a com fortable and cheerful waiting space for customers. A long time patron of Joanna postoffice found recently a re ceipt and noted that she had paid 10 cents for box rental of 3 months in in 1939. Present day patrons do not mind the increase in box rents and they point with pride to the* improved service rendered by Joanna’s new post- office schedule, or as many call it of “Miss Dollie’s new postof fice schedule.” In addition to her duties as directing head of the Joanna of fice, Mrs. Carr has given her services freely to the state and national organizations of her de partment. She served as presi dent of the South Carolina Chap ter of the National Association of Postmasters for the years 1955 and 1956 and represented her of fice at the national meetings both years. She has served on important committees, and host ed a joint meeting of District 3-A and District 4 postmasters in Joanna on November 18, 1960. Special guests for the occasion included U. S. Senator Olln D. Johnson with Mrs. Johnson; A. J. Garner III, of Asheville, N. C. president of Carolines Branch, National Association of Postal Supervisors: David Peden of Gray Court, chairman of Dist. 4; Harry E. Moose of Newberry, chairman Diet 2-A; and J. N. Burton president of the S. C. Chapter, NAP. Assisting Mrs. Carr are two lo cal clerks, Eugene Craven and Mrs. Cleo Tinsley. The name of the postoffice was changed in August of 1946 from Goldville to Joanna. Prior to Goldville, it was listed as Mar tin’s Depot. ed Sunday at 2 p.m. at the Ken nedy Mortuary by Dr. Robert 8. Cooper and Dr. J, E. Route. Burial was In Forest Lawn Cem etery / Don't Drop Out Say, Buddy, can you spare an education? How about it. Buddy, will you gamble that you don’t need this vital commodity? How many doors are closed to those without that all im portant piece of paper which says you have completed high school or college? How many more doors are closing right now to those without the know ledge which those scraps of pa per representT No, Buddy, you can’t spare an education. You can’t for a minute spare that once to each lifetime chance to draw upon the wisdom of your history and your culture and use it to fash ion a better life for you, your family and your country* Don’t think for a minute that education offers all the answers. No one ever said that it would solve all your problems. Quite often it creates hosts of new ones. But, hopefully, it also equips you to cope with them and with your responsibilities when you step out and the world bangs you over the head a few times. Forget the dropout statistics that have been paraded before us. They can be meaningless, impersonal and, in this case, almost too vast to comprehend. Try, instead, to remember only how many times you have heard the sad strains of “If only I hadn’t quit school . . . You fin ish the sentence. You’ve heard it often enough. Drop-in to adult life with the strongest postion you can ac quire, that of a person who has taken advantage of the educa- tion opportunities available to him. No dropout ever dropped- in like that. — The Greenville CRKDITOB8’ NOTICE All persons having claims against the estate of Roulah Balle Pinson, ' deceased, are hereby notified to file the same, duly verified,, with the un dersigned, and those indebted to said estate will please make payment likewise.
