Talking Books Available To Newberry Blind Reading speed has been much talked of in recent years, with well-known public figures report ing they read at rates as high as 1200 to 1400 words a minute. In Newberry county there are 11 persons who enjoy reading but / who will never contend for speed honors. Their race of reading stays permanently at something under 200 words per minute—as many words as can reach them in 60 seconds spent listening to a “Talking Book.” But for interest, enthusiasm and close attention, few sighted read ers can hold a candle to these blind readers—there are 707 of them in South Carolina—adults and young people whose reading is done without books of the conven tional kind. Among these sightless, or near ly sightless, readers are many who recall a time when very few books were available to the blind —when all who lacked knowledge of Braille were dependent on friends with time to real aloud. But today, the story is different. Tooay, sightless readers in this state draw on a total of 2,566 rec orded titles covering almost every subject and interest area. A book of average length fits comfortably on the sides of 18 thin records. Its playing time, on a special Talk ing Book phonograph, is about 9 hours. Talking books are ordered, ei ther from book lists or with the help of local librarians, from the Regional library for the Blind at Raleigh, N. C. This library, which serves the two Carolinas, ships approximately 8 1-2 tons of Talk ing Book materials daily. Talking' Books are mailed postage-free- both ways. This regional library, establish ed in 1961, was set up through the efforts of the South Carolina State Library Board and the North Car olina State Library, and each state supplies a sum adequate to permit every blind person in the state to share in the Talking Book service. At Student Legislature A delegation of students from Newberry college attended the annual South Carolina State Stu dent Legislature December 5-6-7 in Columbia. The delegation was composed of five delegates and one alternate as follows: Larry Wolff, Pelion, pres ident of the student body, chair man; James Addy, Graniteville, Franklin B.

E. Turner Caldwell St. W. E. Turner, Jr. Newberry, S. C. Present From Postmaster Postmaster Moose had his an nual Christmas present ready to day for his patrons and to nobodys surprise, it was his perennial sug gestion: “Mail Early.” “Christmas shopping and mail ing is, for most people, one of the heaviest chores at Christmas,” Mr. Moose said “and if I can persuade some people to get t done right now I think they will agree later— when they are taking >t easy while others rush around—that I have given them a very good present.” “Virtually all Christmas mailing can be disposed of now by observ ing the following five suggestions” Postmaster Moose explained: 1. Do your shopping for Xmas NOW! 2. Check and revise mailing lists for cards and presents. 3. Package and mail Christmas parcels promptly. Don’t worry a- bout being too early—just mark them “Do not open until Christ mas.” 4. Buy Christmas cards now and address them right away, sep arating them into out-of-town and local bundles. Mail them with Zip Codes on them and vou’ve got it made, except perhaps for that last minute card you forgot to send to Aunt Minnie. 5. Buy plenty of stamps now while postoffice windows are un crowded. For Christmas cards, the Post master recommends the attractive The tea table was overlaid with a linen embroidered cloth and cen tered with an arrangement of red carnations. Ruby red punch and cookies were served. new 5 cent Christmas stamps showing the National Christmas tree in Washington. D. C. Use of this stamp insures first-class mail treatment—meaning the card may contain personal messages and may be forwarded or returned free cf extra charge. For example, if Great Aunt Min nie nas moved without telling you your card will be forwarded to her (presuming that she left a for warding address). If the card can not be forwarded, it will be te- eurned to you, provided you have put your return address on the envelop, the postmaster said. To speed Christmas card hand- i ling, letter carriers and the post offices will have free supplies of “local” and “out-of-town” bands for Christmas cards. Using these to separate local and out-of-town ca.ds will expedite delivery and assist the postoffice. In most areas, postal patrons will find that a supply of these will be left in their mail box, or they may be had from carriers or local postoffices for the asking. As an additional peace-of-mind safeguard about parcels this Xmas the postmaster urges mailers to insure them. He noted that despite the De partment’s efforts over many years to promote good packaging and addressing, the postal service each year has been unable to de liver or return about half a mil lion parcels, including many lost because of poor packaging or in correct addressing. Another situation that discour ages postal employees is that in which they finally manager to de cipher an address on a parcel post package only to find the decipher ed address is completely erroneous —to the wrong street or some times even to the wrong city and state. Once a local postoffice has ex hausted all efforts to make de livery or return a parcel and has held it unclaimed for the standard 90 days, the parcel is usually lost to the sender or intended recip ient. hiAtrikuted jf/*.*.- BOSTON LOS ANGELES LONDON CHICAGO t Interesting Accurate Complete International Now* Coverage The Christian Science Monitor One Norway St., Boston 15, Moss.
