Georgia Veterans Service Director Pete Wheeler who is also state chairman of Veterans Day observance in Georgia, presided over Postal Service has new system The U.S. Postal Service developed a new system for identifying the last mail pickup from collection boxes that will aid customers in making timely mail deposits. A distinctive red, white and blue decal that displays the time of the last Monday through Friday pickup will begin ap pearing on high mail volume boxes around the country in the next 30 to 60 days. The decals cover 30-minute time increments from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. and will appear on over 85,000 boxes nationally that are located in business areas, main thoroughfares, at all self service postal units and in front of all main post offices, classified stations and bran ches. “The new decals will make it easier for the public to know what time the last pickup from Daniel Botula joins Griffin Tech staff Griffin Tech continues to add young and innovative members to its staff. Its most recent addition has been Daniel B. Botula, the newly employed assistant counselor. His duties will involve interviewing and providing information for prospective evening students. Personal, vocational, and educational counseling will be available. Botula comes to Griffin from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He earned his B.A. in filmmaking from Ohio University. He later received his M.Ed in counseling from Georgia State University in March of this year. Before joining the staff at Griffin Tech, Botula was em ployed at Emory University in the Department of Medicfil Illustration and at the Patch Inc., a nieghborhood learning center in Atlanta in the capacity of teacher-counselor.

Braughton said. “They will indicate to the nearest half hour the time mail must be deopsited prior to the last scheduled Monday to Friday pickup from the box. For example, a box with last scheduled pickup at 6:45 p.m. will display a 6:30 p.m. decal.’’ Postal Service studies in dicated mail users thought it was important to identify boxes with later pickup times, and that there is some confusion as to the meaning of the white star system of identification now used to indicate late pickups. In addition to the new decals, each box will continue to display a collection schedule showing all pickup times, in cluding weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays and holidays. Daniel Botula Tech, Botula hopes to formalize the admission procedure for the evening program by providing vocational testing and coun seling. This will provide the student with correct and up dated information regarding occupations. the proceedings at which Lt. Governor Zell Miller read the official proclamation.

Beginning in 1978 the entire nation will ob serve Veterans Day on Nov. 11, the date already observed by Georgia and 45 other states. Dear Abby >- He’ll have no part of metric system By Abigail Van Buren © 1977 by The Chicago Tribune-N.Y.News Synd. Inc. DEAR ABBY: 1 am boiling mad and need to let off some steam, so you’re elected. When I start thinking about the metric system they (whoever “they” are) want to put over on us Americans, I get so mad 1 can hardly contain myself. It will cost millions of dollars to change the textbooks and other publications, not to mention highway signs Our system was good enough for our forefathers and it s good enough for me. If our neighboring countries don t like us to be different from them, let THEM change their system! It’s too hard for us older people to change. I am 82, and proud of it. mad ipj ALABAMA DEAR MAD: Sorry oldtimer, but the United States is the ONLY major nation in the world still clinging to pounds, inches, gallons and acres. The whole world is adopting the metric system of weights and measures. And the benefits to this country of promoting an “international language of measurements” are too numerous to detail here. DEAR ABBY: How do you tell a 60-year-old sister that stretch pants are not for her? My sister is 5 feet 2 and she weighs about 150 pounds. She carries most of her weight in her behind, and she also has a protruding stomach. She always wears stretch pants, and people laugh at her behind her back. But nobody will tell her how unbecoming those pants are. Why do clothing manufacturers make stretch pants m such large sizes? DEAR SIS: Manufacturers will make anything they think will sell. Tell your sister she’s stretching things too far, and maybe she’ll snap back into something more appropriate for the shape she’s in. DEAR ABBY: Recently my husband and I attended a wedding. We sent the newlyweds a sterling silver candle snuffer for a gift. I just received a note from the bride, thanking us for the “darling little gravy dipper!" I was stunned when I read it. Should I call the bride and tell her? I’m sure she’d be very much embarrassed if she had guests for dinner and used the candle snuffer to ladle graVy ’ SHOCKED DEAR SHOCKED: If you really fear that she will use the candle snuffer as a gravy ladle, call her and tip her off. DEAR ABBY: Apropos complaints from wives and other relatives who are obliged to listen to stories told by some of us oldsters, may I come to the defense of some of my fellow storytellers with the following: I once heard a very entertaining gentleman who was up in years say, “Don’t stop me if you’ve heard this one. There is no reason why a good story should not be enjoyed more than once. Imagine how little good music there would be in the world if, for example, a conductor refused to play Beethoven, Tchaikovsky or Mozart because his audience had probably heard it before." GRAMPS DEAR GRAMPS: Beautiful! Play it again. PFC Peavy in exercise Marine Private First Class Richard J. Peavy, son of Sara Peavy of 602 N.

He is serving as a member of Battalion Landing Team Three Slant Four (BLT %), home based on Okinawa.
