PAGE POUR THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, JANUARY U, To Be Changed Postmaster Harry E. Moose an- Skoonced today that important changes in the procedures for handling undeliverable second, 3rd and 4th class mail became effec tive January 10. The revised regu lations will change some postal Jfees that are now being charged for the handling of change of ad dresses and undeliverable mail of the class indicated. Certain postal forms have been used to notify mailers of third class mail of the new address of patrons who have moved. These forms are being discontinued. The postmaster explained that mailers of third class mail can endorse their mail “Return Requested” and the undeliverable pieces will be returned postage due, each piece suitably endorsed with the new address of the patron or the reason why the mail was undeliv erable. The charge for this serv ice will be eight (8) cents for each piece of mail returned or the third class single piece rate of postage, which ever is higher. Publishers of second class pub lications which includes newspap ers, magazines and those church bulletins that are entered in the mail as second class publications, will, after January 10, be charged 10 cents instead of the present 5 cent charge for each lange of address that is furnished them on the post office departments pres ent Form 4579. Important in the revised in structions is the discontinuing of the local transfer and out-of-town forwarding of circulars and simi lar mailing pieces, the contents of which are of no obvious value. Postmaster Moose explained that this means unless circular mail is properly addressed, it cannot be delivered. In connection with these same changes, mailers are no longer allowed to guarantee fcrwabding postage on any class of mail. The regulations do pro vide, however, for the endorsement “Return Requested” to be placed on all classes of mail if the send er so desires. Postmaster Moose stated that local mailers are being informed of these changes by personnel of the local post office and others may obtain further information by telephoning 43.

She chose as her subject “Herbs”— defining their use for medicinal purposes by the ancient Chinese, and following reports that due to the acute shortage of medicine in Communist China, the use of herbs is being used to cure ills. Other points mentioned by Mrs. Rook were as follows: “The signs or markings and color in the form of the plants designate the cure; and are known as “The -Doctrine of Signatures.” The search for these herbs, par ticularly for ginseng (gentian) spread from China into Canada and then into the mountains of N. C. The late Grant Wilcox was the pioneer of having mountain eers bring herbs, bark and loots to his general merchandise store in Boone.
