Subscribers Urged To Send In All Address Changes
The Shiner Gazette asks subscribers to notify changes of address before moving. New post office rules raise notification fees from five to ten cents effective January 10. If the post office sends the address change notice, the fee also rises from five to ten cents. Changing an existing subscription costs about 25 cents, now 30 cents, due to stencil cutting and mailing list updates. Needing accurate records, publications urge advance notifications.

Farm Leader Lester Cranek To Washington
Dr. Lester Cranek president of Wharton County Farmers Union was invited by Secretary of Agriculture Orville Freeman to a Washington conference on land and water policy. The meeting will address changing land and water needs, rural adjustments, new uses for land and water, and shaping policies to aid rural living and family farming. Cranek, a National Soil and Water Conservation appointee, recently returned from a seven day Washington meeting and stresses family farming over giant cooperatives. The 1962 turkey crop is likely large but below 1961's 107 million, with storage ample and turkeys a solid food buy for months.
