The Postal Service, already subsidized by 920 million dollars, faces mounting losses from inflation salaries and inefficiencies. Postmaster General Benjamin Bailor urged Congress to double funding for two to three years, admitting it would not prevent a 13 cent first class stamp increase after Christmas.
The writer argues the Postal Service must be treated as a public service agency not a pay as you go business. External competition and rising deficits threaten prices and revenues, risking business dependence on mail. The piece urges official recognition of the Postal Service as a public service.
The piece recalls a past with teacher respect and polite police, contrasting it with modern times when over 2 million children miss school due to teacher strikes and police patrols on buses and halls. It critiques public respect for teachers and law in the context of safety and learning.

AP Farm Writer Don Kendall reports that broiler producers are emerging from a financial slump and may raise output in 1976 if price indicators hold. Through mid 1975 production fell 4.5 percent from a year earlier, with declines mainly in Q1. Since spring, prospects improved as feed costs eased and USDA experts expect output to inch above last year's low into early 1976.
USDA data suggest 1976 first quarter broiler demand will pick up as beef supply remains strong and pork stays tight. Wholesale dressed broiler prices are seen averaging about 46 cents per pound in Q1, with earlier highs in mid year and a gradual fall, while meat imports from Australia and New Zealand climbed in July, totaling over 707 million pounds for the year to date under voluntary restraint.
