However, while there is very little that can be done about changing the weather, we can do something about getting the mail delivered faster and better. In my opinion, the U.S. mail service ranks among the best in the world and certainly, on a cost-to-the-user basis, it is a great bargain. But in the view of Postmaster General O'Brien, it is not the “superlative” service that we should have in America. In other words, there is considerable room for improvement, and the government must constantly be on the alert for ways and means to attain more efficient and even less costly mail service, with an eye toward giving the taxpayers their money’s worth. Also, the 700,000 dedicated and hard-working postal employees deserve to have the best tools available for the work they are doing. SOMETIMES THE MAIL is unduly slow, or letters, are lost or delivered to the wrong place, and whenever a citizen has such an experience and is affected personally he is quick to complain —and justifiably so in most cases. However, there are many factors to be taken into account. For example, the Post Office Department handles 80 billion pieces of mail a year, with about a 94 per cent record of getting mail to its destination on time. Os course, that other 6 per cent means that almost 5 million pieces of mail aren’t delivered on time. Also to be considered is the fact that about 90 per cent of our postal facilities were constructed prior to 1940, making plant obsolescence a very great problem. Lack of funds for improved facilities and capital investment likewise presents a very serious problem. The Post Office Department is currently running a deficit of about S6OO million in cost of operation over the amount of appropriation. THE POSTMASTER GENERAL has recommended some far-reaching changes in the Post Office Department, the chief result of which would be the incorporation of the postal service. * A Commission has been named to study this proposal along with others and I hope that the problems of the Post Office De partment will be carefully examined from every standpoint—and that the net result will be better mail service.^ ^v*^^*-*-* j^X***^ 7 ■ (Not prepared or printed at govefninint CX^cmcJJ WANT ADS This Number is your Account Number assigned by your Bank -— Identifies your account to a computer.

All asking questions about eggs! This week I’m taking time out to an swer some of the letters that have been pil ing up on my desk. There seems to be a little confusion BARB BAKER nine cuiuusivu about some of the real basics of buying and cooking eggs. Maybe you’ve run into some of these problems yourself: Dear Barb: How many eggs should I plan on using when a recipe calls for 1 cup of eggs? Mrs. C. B. Estes, Canton, Ohio. Dear Mrs. Estes: The number of eggs re quired will depend on the size of the eggs. When the recipe calls for one cup of whole eggs, figure on using 4-6; for 1 cup of egg whites, plan on 8-10 eggs. Dear Barb: What’s the difference be tween grades and sizes in eggs? I’m confused. Pat Wat son, Westport, Conn. Dear Pat: Grade determines the qual ity of the egg. Size has to do with weight. Egg size does not affect egg quality. This means that a peewee egg and a jumbo egg can both be grade AA, or grade C for that matter. PRACTICAL FAMILY LIVING This summer’s sunshine will lure, more than 100 million Americans to beaches and poolsides. How good is the summer sun to the skin? Sunlight’s only medical benefit, authorities says, lies in its possible healing action on certain skin disorders. Adolescents almost routinely report that their acne im proves during the summer months. Most of sunlight’s advan tages come from what goes with sunning — fresh air, ex ercise, relaxation and so cializing. (No one with normal nutrition needs the extra Vitamin D that sunlight can generate on the skin.) And for many — even the forewarned — summer sunlight will mean at least one painful but avoid- Outlook Good for Cotton Growers, Says Agronomist Georgia farmers have rea son to view their cotton fu ture with optimism, reports J. E. Jernigan, an agronomist with the University of Geor gia Cooperative Extension Service. Modern technology makes it possible for growers in the state to produce high, econom ical yields of this crop, he said, and farmers who follow recommendations from plant ing through ginning are find ing cotton to be a profitable enterprise on their farms. Growers from throughout the state have made yields high enough to qualify as members of the Money Maker Cotton Club, Mr. Jerni gan declared. “This means they have produced 750 pounds of lint or more per acre on their entire allotment and they are pointing the way for other growers to a more profitable cotton business. Close examination shows that these farmers have applied recommended technology to achieve their success.” This 1966 champion in the Money Maker Cotton Club proved that Georgia farmers can compete with cotton growers in any part of the country, the agronomist said. J. R. Barry. Sr., Crisp County, made 1,560 pounds of lint on 35 acres to take the state hon or. He attributes his high yield to good weather and following recommendations. Mr. Barry planted certified seed of the Carolina Queen variety, a high-yielding re commended variety for his area. He followed fertilization recommendations for high cotton yields and used 130 pounds of nitrogen, 70 pounds of phosphate and 100 pounds of potash per acre. Plant nu trients were provided from 400 pounds of 4-12-12 per acre at planting and 200 pounds as a side-dressing. Additional ni trogen side-dressing was ap plied in the form of uran or Dear Barb: We just moved to Boston, and everybody here seems to prefer brown shelled eggs to white ones. Is there a differ ence? Mrs. M. Minni, Bos ton, Mass. Dear Mrs. Minni: Not a bit — the only thing different is the shell color. And that depends on the breed of hen that lays the egg. Eggs are Decorative, too! Dear Barb: I’ve heard that eggs are a good source of vitamins A and D — what are these vitamins good for? Mrs. D. Kohlmayer, International Falls, N. D. Dear Mrs. Kohlmayer: Vitamins A and D are par ticularly important during periods of rapid growth dur ing childhood and adoles cence. Remember how the mothers of the kids in the Our Gang movies were always forcing them to take cod liver oil? Well, eggs have nearly as much Vitamin D as cod liver oil, and they go down a lot easier! able burn. What’s the best way for a sunbather to avoid burning? Start with no more than 15 minutes of sun the first day. Increase by five minutes a day. Staying in the sun longer won’t hurry the tanning pro cess. Just so much skin thick ening will take place with the initial exposure and just so much natural skin pigment will migrate to the upper layer of the skin to produce tanning. Be patient. It has now been found that the greatest tan takes up to ten days to de velop. — By Annette Ray, Home Economist-Home Man agement, Cooperative Exten sion Service, University of Georgia. anhydrous. Uran was applied where soil needed additional potash. The cotton field had been limed according to soil test recommendation in 1965. Mr. Barry planted his cot ton in a 2 by 2 and 2 by 4 skip-row pattern. The 35 per cent diverted acreage was taken up in the 2 by 4 skip and the remainder of the field planted to a 2 by 2 skip pat tern.

W. B. WILLIS, AGENT NAHUNTA, GEORGIA Think comfort... think electric cooling/heating You know the feeling we mean. A polished crystal day. Air fresh and clean. Temperature neither too hot nor too cold. That s the climate your family can enjoy in a home cooled and heated electrically. Feel the scorching blast of summer? Cool it. A touch on the control of your electric air con ditioning tames the temperature. Feel a bite of blackberry winter? Muzzle it. Just nudge the thermostat of your electric heating system. Swiftly, silently, chill is gone. Clean-gone. That’s because flameless electric heating systems are the cleanest in the world. But most comfortable of all is the home with an electric heat pump. Here’s cooling or heating as needed. Automatically. Set your thermostat once to maintain your ideal year-round climate. You never have to think about it again. And that’s something to think about. GEORGIA POWER son growing periods to keep his cotton free of thrips, boll worm and boll weevil. Ade quate control during the grow ing season made it possible for the plants to fruit heavily and produce a high yield. Mr. Barry scouted his field him self and poisoned when insects appeared in l damaging num bers. He used Toxaphene • — DDt with methyl parathion added when needed. Weeds were controlled by hoeing and sweep cultivation. He defoliated rank cotton to control boll rot and picked the cotton by hand. Georgia farmers have indi cated they intend to plant 1,752,000 acres of corn for all purposes this year, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service.

RECREATION According to Richard E. Smith, Extension Service re source development specialist, there are 930 publicly owned recreation enterprises in Geor gia. He says the demand for more and better publicly owned recreational facilities and services has been tre mendous, and that record ex pansion programs have follow ed to keep up with needs. GEORGIA’S FOREST Forestry and forest products in Georgia are the second largest industry in our state — exceeded only by textiles. Value of forest products pro duced is in excess of one billion dollars, according to foresters with the University of Georgia Cooperative Ex tension Service. STANDARD ~\ok/— trademark chevron design®
