(Mrs. Verna Griggs) Jack Gilchrist, former farm editor of the Atlanta Constitution who re cently returned from a trip behind the Iron Curtain w’as guest speaker at a luncheon meeting of Reynolds Kiwanis Club Friday. Gilchrist brought colored slides made during the trip to illustrate his talk. Showing a slide of the TU-104 Russian jet on which he traveled to Moscow, he compared this 2-en- gined plane with our 4-engined jet of the same model. Easter Sunday was spent in Po land and though Communists have no faith in Christ and the Resurrec- 1 tion, the women were dressed in bright, colorful dresses for the oc casion. It seemed that Russia does not; have the broad middle class of skilled workers as found in Ameri-' ca. Even new buildings were most- 1 ly poorly built, according to Gil christ. The people have no incentive to work because they have no goal. However, because they have never had anything and have been under domination from others so long, they have nothing with which to compare their lives. Gilchrist found Russia bringing in people from other countries and “brainwashing” them in a so-called training period . Thus less fortun ate people see the bright side of Communism. Surprised at finding so many people who spoke English, the group of travelers found that all teen agers studying to be teachers must speak English. Our children must compete with Russian chil dren who are learning three for eign languages and getting exten sive cultural training. Visitors for the occasion included Robert Swearingen Jr., Billy Pen nington of ASC Service, E. D. Good- ner, wildlife specialist, and Clifford Whatley. July 2 Deadline For ‘New Wheat Farm’ Applications for ’63 Farmers who wish to be con sidered for a “new wheat farm” al lotment for 1963 on a farm which does not now have a wheat allot ment should get in touch with the ASCS County Office right away, H.

(Because the usual program dead line of July 1st occurs this year on Sunday, the 1962 deadline is ex tended to the end of business on Monday, July 2).

Building- Will be Erected on Vacant Lot, South Side Court House Square. Plans to acquire a new- post of fice in this city have been an nounced by Postmaster General J. E. Day. “The new building,” Mr. Day said, “is designed to carry out the Post Office Department’s objective of providing newly constructed pos tal units where they are most urg ently needed in the interest of more efficient postal service and improved working conditions for postal employes. “The emphasis in our lease con struction program will continue to be on adequate space for postal operations, not only for current needs but for the foreseeable fu ture. “The Department’s policy is to use existing buildings where they can be suitably altered or remodel ed to meet the needs of the ever increasing volume of mail. As cir cumstances dictate, we will also consider moving our postal opera tions into more spacious quarters if they are available. “Where neither of these con ditions is feasible we will authorize the construction of new postal units such as the post office at Butler. The construction program is be ing concentrated in those areas where the need is urgent and suit able space cannot be obtained ex cept thru new construction. The building in Butler will be located on the south side of the court house square in the location where the old I. F. Peebles build ing stood in other years. The de partment holds an assignable op tion on this site. Preliminary plans call for a facility containing 3,009 square feet of floor space, to be constructed on a site containing 10,138 square feet. The Postmaster General said the building will be constructed under the Department’s Lease Construc tion Program, which utilizes the resources and investment funds of private enterprise for needed pos tal buildings. The Department’s capital invest ment, Mr. Day said, will be limited to postal equipment. The building will remain under private ownership while leased to the Federal Govern ment and the owner will pay local real estate taxes. Plans and specifications for the new building, as well as bidding forms and other pertinent data, will be made available to prospec tive bidders at an early date, at which time the Post Office Depart ment will advertise for bids. The site will be transferred to the suc cessful bidder who will purchase the land, construct (he building and lease it to the Department on a long term basis.

Florida Students Touring Eastern United States (Mrs. Verna Griggs) A young lady in a beautiful sari entered the local post office last week and asked for an envelope and 25c in stamps. This young lady wanted to write home and this was the exact amount needed for a letter home. Miss Merchant joined a group on the street that were far from home also. You see, the saris marked them as natives of India. These six students from Florida State University are touring the eastern United States during a 15 day vacation from school. Three of the group hold doctor’s degrees in chemistry and are doing further study. The other three were work ing toward degrees. All of the students were friendly and interested in our town. Just passing through, they saw a drug store and stopped for coffee. It seems that friendliness, a smile, and a cup of coffee is a universal language regardless of natinality.
