(PRN) - “The U.S. Postal Service is slower than the sands of an hour glass and not nearly as dependable” with that stinging indictment, Georgia Senator Sam Nunn announced his intention to support an investigation into the chaotic operation of the postal service. A Senate resolution was introduced earlier this month which would require the Committee on Post Office and Civil Service to conduct open public hearings into the conduct of the postal service. After a complete investigation, this committee will report its findings and recommendations for legislation to the Senate by August 31,1973. Under the 1970 Postal Reorganization Act, Congress gave up all authority over postal rates, employee pay scales and postmaster appointments. The new postal service was given the power to borrow money for investment and facilities, to improve employee-management relations, and to adjust postal rates and mail classification systems. "Rie “ Space Twins ” issue on September 29, 1967 comm emorating U.S. Accomplish • ments in Space marked a first in U.S. stamp design. It was the first pair of stamps and was the first time in U.S. Postal history that more than one stamp was used to complete the design; yet when separated each stamp has a complete, impressive picture. The stamp was designed by Mr. Paul Calle after photographs taken by the astronauts during the flight of Gemini 4. There are some who add another first to this issue: They insist that the Sp ace • Walking Astronaut is Edward A. White and is, there- “The postal service was designed to reestablish the ailing postal system on an efficient, financially sound, business like basis,” Nunn points out, “but since I took office in November, complaints have continued to pour in about the slow, inaccurate, and at times, complete failure of the postal system.” “Why does it take three days for a letter to travel four miles in Decatur!” “Why does it take five days for a letter to travel from Macon to Atlanta, a distance of ninety miles.” “Why must a letter from a citizen in Rome to his neighbor across town be routed through Atlanta for processing, then back to Rome for delivery.” “These are questions Georgians ask me everyday,” Senator Nunn said. “In some sections of this country, it takes longer for the mail to be delivered by ‘1973’ efficiency than it did by stagecoach in the 1890’5.” “An answer must be found to this disturbing debacle” Nunn insisted, “for- its not BY SAM A. LANGLEY fore, the first person ever to appear on a U.S. postage st. amp while still living. Scott’s standard Postage St amp catalogue lists the “ Sp ace Twins ” as numbers 1331 for the Astronaut, 1332 for the Capsule, and 1331 a for the pair. The 1970 Catalogue value for fine, unused stamps was 10 cents each for the stamps sep erated, 20 cents for the pair. In 1972 the value had jumped to 75 cents each for the stamps seperated and $1.50 for the pair. The Scott Catalogue also shows that there were 120, 865,00 stamps issued and 667, 267 First Day Covers cancell, ed at Kennedy Space Center on the first day of issue. Gemini 4 was. launched on June 3, 1965, manned by James A. McDivitt and Edward A. White, completed 66 orbits a round the world, and from lift off to splash-down lasted 97 ho- Allergies Relieved By LP-Gas Air Conditioning ATLANTA (PRN) - The growing popularity of year-around gai air-conditioning is indicated by the results of a survey in which 90 percent of the reporting home owners who had such an installation said it had a favorable effect on their health. They stated that through dust and odor control the ai^ in their homes was fresher and purer every season of the year. And many of their families achieved relief from allergies. Other advantages of gas air-conditioning they cited included efficient removal of Subscribe Home Newspaper snow, nor sleet, nor gloom of night that has stayed the faithful courier from his appointed rounds, but bogged down bureaucrats knee deep in computer cards and ribbons of red tape.” The Georgia lawmaker said, “Some of the complaints to my office have come from dedicated postal employees who are concerned because they aren’t able to provide the service they once offered. They are disturbed because, in many cases, unhappy postal patrons believe the employees are to blame.” “One such letter from a postal employee cites ineffectiveness of new machines, jobs that have no function in moving the mail, and continuous overtime schedules as key factors in the low morale of postal employees,” Nunn explained. “I have noted that the Postmaster General himself, Elmer Klassen has admitted that postal service deteriorated during December and January,” Senator Nunn said, adding, “I don’t think he will find anyone to disagree with him.” urs 56 minutes. On the third orbit Edward A. White took his historic walk in space for about 22 minutes. No errors occured during the dramatic flight of Gemini 4 but a dramatic error did occur in the printing of the stamp; the red stripes of the flag on the capsule were omitted in the Upper Left Position of plates number 29322 and 29325. Wh ile the error may have been embarrassing to the Postal Au thorities it was welcomed with joy by stamp collectors around the world. Scott’s catalogue does not list a value. Here is a follow up on the article about the world’s rar est and most valuable stamp, the 1856 British Guiana One Cent ( the Penny Black).

Because LP-gas service may be installed virtually anywhere, homeowners in suburban, rural and outlying sections may enjoy the benefits of total indoor climate control. Families living in areas served by LP-gas can easily and inexpensively add air-conditioning to their present LP-gas central heating system. for Your [SmaiitPOt/iz?] HOW COURTEOUS ARE YOU?
