Honeymoon plans and Georgia delegation at Boston convention
Mrs Wall and I depart for our twenty fifth wedding anniversary in Boston with the Georgia delegation of about seventy five workers. We expect a pleasant trip among friends and hope Georgia wins the convention next year. Montgomery County reports 100 percent in district efforts as the national rural letter carriers publish 1 007 subscriptions, with some carriers paying extra to receive weekly issues. Some regular carriers refuse the small $3.50 fee, yet oppose contract charges when they are not favorable.
