New Cleveland
Post Office Planned
Plans to acquire a new
office in Cleveland, Georgia
were announced by
John A. Gronouski.
“The new building,”
said, “is designed to carry
the Post Office Department’s
jective of a more efficient
service combined with
working conditions for our
ployees.
“President Johnson has
us to exercise frugality in
ting our governmental
and we are doing so. New
tion, therefore, is being
only when it is demonstrated
the need is urgent and no
alernative is available.”
The alternatives, Mr.
explained, would involve
ing of the existing building or
ing into other suitable quarters
the same community.
The building in Cleveland
be located on the west side of
Highway 129, approximately
block north of the town
Preliminary plans call ofr
square feet of interior space,
an area of 6,500 square feet
parking and movement of
vehicles.
Construction of 'the new
ing will have a beneficial
impact on Cleveland, which is
cated in an area eligible to
part in the new Area
ment Administration’s program
assistance to areas of chronic
employment, the Postmaster
eral said. Not only will the
provide jobs during the
tion period, he pointed out,
the new facilities will increase
community’s attractiveness for
dustry and commerce. This, in
turn, can be translated into new
economic opportunities for Cleve¬
land.
“This is in line with President
Johnson’s directive that the full
weight of the Federal Govern¬
ment be brought to bear on the
problems of these areas,” Gronou¬
ski said.
The Postmaster Conoral said the
building will be constructed under
the Department’s Lease Construc¬
tion program, with the govern¬
ment’s capital investment limited
to postal equipment. While leased
to the Government, the building
will remain under private owner¬
ship 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 availbale to prospec¬
tive bidders at an early date, at
which time the Department will
advertise for bids.
The site oiption will be assigned
to the successful bidder, who will
purchase the land, construct the
building and lease it to the De¬
partment.
PINEY WOODS
PETE Says:
DEAR MISTER EDITOR:
I see Georgia’s Democratic con¬
gressmen voted solidly in the House
party caucus against punishing two
members who worked for Gold
water last fall. They were out¬
voted. Some had only passively
supported Johnson, others had
worked fot him.
But the loyalists, taking a leaf
from Lyndon’s book, chose not to
make anybody mad back home,
since they must face the voters
again in two years, and our state
is still full of Barryites.
This reminds me of a church
wedding at which an usher asked
a guest he was about to seat wheth¬
er she was a friend of the bride
or groom.
u Both,” she replied. “Well, in
that case lady, I can’t seat you,”
said the usher. “You see, we ain’t
got no seats for neutrals. »»
Yours truly,
PINEY WOODS PETE _

The Beauty
Of America
The progress which the country
has taken in conservation in the
past four years apparently will be
accelerated, with greater attention
than ever to the beauty of streets
and highways.
Under President Kennedy, Con¬
gress initiated new programs for
national parks and seashores, desig¬
nated wilderness areas, moved to
enable the states to set aside more
open space and recreation areas
and began many useful studies of
water resources.
Now President Johnson has poin¬
ted toward more steps in these and
other directions. He soon will call
a White House Conference on nat¬
ural beauty.
The country will always be in¬
debted to those legislators who
in the last century began our early
conservation efforts. They saved
vast regions from the kind of ex¬
ploitation and abuse which would
have ended their beauty and dis¬
tinctiveness forever.
A century from now, Americans
may look back with equal appre¬
ciation upon efforts now beginning
to protect some of our last wilder¬
nesses, clean polluted streams and
air and prevent haphazard deface¬
ment of beauty along the highways.
The country increasingly crowds
in upon itself. We do need more
attention to roadside landscaping,
more parks and open space where
people are concentrated and an
effort to clear away junk that de¬
prives us of good scenery.
If these steps are not taken soon,
it will bee too late.
Much of this part of the Presi¬
dent’s program depends upon lo¬
cal and state action in cooper¬
ation with the federal government.
That should be a bugle call to us
in Georgia.
Atlanta, a city whose face is
being changed swiftly by express¬
ways and by civic projects of ma¬
jor proportions, has given too little
attention to beauty. Perhaps the
national effort will help move it
(iito action.
W Within a few year* iimueOmilby
ahead of us, we can build beauty
into the city, or just wait and let
someone try to fill it into the
cracks.

Forecasters Busy
It’s forecasting season again. The
air crackles with forecasts about
who will do what to whom in Asia,
Berlin, the Middle East. The alarms
are clanging over 1965’s foresee¬
able traffic deaths, crime, politi¬
cal crises and fierce new chal¬
lenges.
Okay. But let’s get it in perspec¬
tive, hm? Thanks to our resource¬
ful researchers, it is now my
pleasure to 1 present a few of the
items that forecasters (even us)
often forget.
Here are some things that will
happen in 1965:
About 7,233,000 children will
stop outgrowing their shoes every
couple of months.
About 194,100,127 Americans
will not be hurt or killed in an
auto accident.
Nearly 13,199,000 girls will out¬
grow the Beatles .
About 750,000,000 acres of forest
land will not burn up.
About 44,503,000 couples will stay
married.
About 55,503,000 citizens will
file tax returns on which the
arithmetic is absolutely correct.
About 11,000,000 teen-agers will
not drop out of high school, and
over 600,000 of those who go on to
college in 1965 will stay there
four years.
One out of every 4.3 golf balls
hooked or sliced into a tree will
bounce back onto the fairway.
Over 20 billion dollars’ worth of
auto loans will be paid off.
And all year long there will be
only one Friday the Thirteenth.
There you are. Help yourself.
No charge.
