New Ball Game Seen For U S Post Office
Athens post master Art Cornwell told Kiwanis members that the postal service now operates as an independent entity under a presidentially appointed nine member commission with nine year terms and power to remove the postmaster general. He noted local offices gain authority and that Athens handles mail for Athens Meigs and Washington counties with a $200000 stamp stock. Ten billion dollars in bonds would be sold to finance new facilities and machinery, transportation remains the main challenge, and only a half of one percent of mail goes astray. The Kiwanis meeting also honored the Little League baseball team.
