Tips Given For Faster Service The safety, speed and eureness in the delivery of the U. S. mail will be improved if the users ot the mails follow ten basic postal pointers outlined by Postmastei General Arthur E. Summerfield. “The users of the mails can help themselves get better mail service (by following these ten suggestions,’’ Mr. Summerfield said. “I feel certain the American people will cooperate with % the Post Office Department in this mutual effort to provide the best mail service possible.” 1. Address mail fully and clear ly. Write legible or print plainly Where applicable use zone num bers. Avoid using aibbreviations which might confuse mail hand lers. 2. Always uoe a return address in the upper left hand corner of both letters and packages. When you do so, you prevent undeliver ed mail going to the 'dead letter' office. 3. Do not enclose coins or hard objects of any kind in letters, without marking the envelope for hand stamping. High speed can celling machines cannot process such letters, often jam and dam age letters. 4. Do not mall cash. For safe ty’s sake, use Postal Money Or ders or checks. 5. Make certain parcels are well packed and securely wrapped. En close a card with your return ad dress and recipients address. This precaution permits delivery of your package if the wrapper is damaged. 6. Double check to make sure your mail has the correct amount of postage. “Postagb Due” delays letters and disappoints recipients. 7. To speed letters through can celling machines, be sure stamps are in upper right hand corner. 8. Insure parcels. Register let ters of real value. Use Certified Mail for letters of no intrinsic value where only proof of delivery is required. 9. Mail early and often. Earlier mailings mean earlier deliveries because your letters or other mail catch earlier trains, planes or other transporters of mail. Large mailers should separate mail into local and out of town bundles. _ 10. Make sure your correspond ents have your correct address. George Young Farm Good Example Soil Conservation Practices I4TTLE GIRLS CATCH BIG FISH from well fertilized pond. Jane and Margie Young, nieces of George Young, on whose farm the pond is located. The other pic ture shows Mr. Young at his favorite hobby, fishing. He is a supervisor of the New berry County Soil Conservation District. (SCS Photos.) y Wm •I'y.xXy.:-: •• Once Again That Time Is Here ... School Days! ( By Mrs. A. H. Counts) George Young, Whitmire farm er and car dealer, is planning to enjoy to the fullest his present hobby—fishing, when he retiree. He fishes now once and some times twice a day, but when he retires plans to fish all the time. “I really enjoy fishing,” he said when interviewed at the fish pond on his farpa where is pursuing his hobby. He aflso derives much pleasure from his farm where he 'tot using conservation methods. Mr. Young is a district supervi sor of the ' Newberry county soil conservation service. His connec tion with soil conservation goes back to the days of the OC camp when that organisation sprigged a waterway with Bermuda grass and planted some sericea strips for him. He is a strong believer in sericea and is a booster for what the soil conservation ser vice has done here in. Newberry county. "It was certainly badly needed and much good has been acomplished,” he stated and add ed ‘ “one of the greatest benefits has been the checking of water waste. Rivers and waterways which formerly went out of bounds following big rains seldom over flow now. I believe that this is due td the ponds that have been built, the better management of land iby the planting of cover crops and the establishment and care of forests.” The three and a half acre pond on the Young farm, four miles west of Whitmire, is an example of conservation practices. The low marshy area on which the pond was built was for many years unfit for cultivation. As a developed pond it not only adds beauty to the landscape, but af fords the owner, his family and friends much pleasure. In building the pond, brush trees, and briars were cut down and removed. Then dirt was pull ed from the basin to form a dam. A natural spillway which leads into a pecan grove nearby has successfully taken care of the overflow. The pond was construc ted in 1948 and the first big rain after it was finished completely filled it and established its pres ent natural outline. “I could hard ly believe my eyes,” Mr. Young said, “When I saw the place after the rain—'the sudden change from a low unsightly marsh to a pret ty pond. It seemed like a miracle. It made such a big difference in I * the overall general appearance of the farm. The pond is how well- stocked with bream and bass and is kept clean. It is fertilized*ac cording to the specifications of the soil conservation service. The pond is surrounded by low rolling land which is planted in sericea lespedeza and grazed by a large herd of beef-type cattle. The grazing program that Mr. Young has developed cares for his. cat tle practically the year round. Sometimes during the cold winter months hay harvested during the summer is fed to the animals. Other than that they live off of crimson clover during the win ter and sericea lespedeza In the suramef. Rotation grazing helps to maintain good grazing at all times. The one tenant farm family with the aid of modern machinery cares for all farm operations and they also»look after the cattle. The entire farm is well manag ed. All open land is in a high state of cultivation, being planted entirely in cover crops used Chiefly for grazing and land build ing. Jh® woodland is farmed for UmbCr purposes. “Timber is the best crop to grow' for money. It is no trouble and it doesn’t take too long to grow a crop,” Mr. Young s&ixL He also stated “This was the poorest farm in Newberry county when I (bought it, but 1 knew it could be built up.” Mr. Young has another pond which is smaller than the main one. “I believe that if I had still another pond,*” he said, “I could keep almost every drop of rain that falls on my land. Water that is checked where it falls certainly makes a big difference. It gives pleaapre for fishing, supplies wa ter ^f or livestock, gives protection in case of fire and the moisture supplied by a body of water to surrounding land makes a big difference in the crops,, M r. Young added. 'Mr- Young says that his wife is the champion fisherman in his family. That fact was established Miff Theatre .

C. recently wben , she caught the biggest fish ever brought out ot the pond—a fiv.e pound bass. She accompanies him often on the trips to the farm. They go eu-ly in the morning and again some times in the afternoon. “X fish pond certainly helps < to take the tension out of business,” Mr. Young said. “We not only enjoy the fishing afforded but the peace and quiet of the surround ings, which gives rest and relax ation to us, however, in the dis tance we can see traffic on two main highways which bolder om farm.” { Mr. Young has lived in Whit mire all his life. He and his bro ther, Sam Young, have been the Chevrolet dealers in Whitmire since 1928. Mr. and Mrs. George Young recently enjoyed a trip to Porto Rico for having won a sales campaign by the Chevrolet company during June. Mr. Young is a member of the Whitmire Methodist church, ’ a member of the Board of Stewards and! is former chairman of the Board. He is also a Shriner and a Charter member of the Whit mire Lion’s club. He and hie wife are the parents of one child, a daughter, Keller, now Mrs. .Har ry Buzhardt of Providence, R. I. When she and her husband, a cel- onel in the Marines, and two children, Harry and Ruth, return home for a visit, fishing at the pond on the farm is an occasion which the entire family .looks for ward to with a great deal of pleasure. & ^ A GIFT AS WONDERFUL AS YOUR WISHES L i i m y BIST TO GIVE... I BEST TO GET Korean Vets May Still Get G1 Insurance Veterans of the Korean conflict who lost their World war I or II GI term, insurance because their policies expired within 120 days after their discharge, may now apply for replacement of that term insurance under a new law. J. E. Smith, contact officer at the Columbia Veteran’s adminis tration regional office said the new act is public law 194, 84th congress. Under this Act, veterans whose GI term insurance expires after April 25, 1951, either while they are in active service or within 120 days after discharge may replace such insurance within 120 days after discharge, or within 120 days after July 29, whichever is later. They must file application, meet goqd .health requirements and pay the premium at their attained age in order to qualify. Previously, only those GI term policies that, expired while the policyholders were In active ser vice after April 25, 1951 could be replaced within 120 days after dis charge. No proykdon was made for the replacement of term poli cies that expired within the 120- day period after discharge. The new law adds the later period foi replacement In addition, the new law grants another opportunity for replacement to those persons whose term policies expired while they were in active service after April 25, 1951 but who failed to apply for replacement within 120 days after discharge. These per sons now have 120 days after July 29, 1955- in which to apply.
