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.

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

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.

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.
Mr. Smith said detailed infor
mation may be obtained from any
veteran’s administration officer or
by writing to the district office
where , the veteran’s insurance
records are maintained.
