Postoffice Receipts
Show Huge Gains
Here Since 1937
Brookings Postoffice, which is
now second class, has sown re
markable growth in the last few
years, according to Mrs. Goldie
Smith, who came up with fig
ures to show the growth since
1937, her first year in office:
1937 BUSINESS
Stamp sales ....... $ 2,137.76
M. O. Business..... 32,657.12
1950 BUSINESS
Stamp Sales ........ 11,176.21
M. O. Business. 213,374.48
Comparing the the last quarter
of 1950 with the same period a
year previous, Mrs. Smith came
up with these figures:
1949
$3,315.42
$3.893.77
1950
The class of posttoffice is de
termined only by the stamp sales
which is referred to as revenue.
Post office box rentals, and mon
ey order business does not come
under this classification.
. Until 1947, the postoffice was
housed in the Crissey building,
present office of Pete Lesmeister.
Following its removal to Gray-
shel building, new boxes were
added, more than doubling the
facilities. Already these are in-
adequate, Mrs. Smith reports.
'Times Changed,'
Felipes Tell Pilot
“Thirty years ago, when I set
out for America, I was 12 days,
on the sea from Lisbon, Portu-;
gal to New York. On Jan. 13,
it took my wife and me about 20
hours to cover the same trip," .
Hurcalean Felipe told the Pilot
last week, in describing his trip
home, the first in 30 years.
“While my mother knew I was
coming, I sometime wonder if;
she actually knew me ofter all
thtat time. She stood, hugging
me, for several minutes, unable
to utter a sound. While she is
97, you’d never know it. She is
just about as active as I remem
ber her when I left.
“I visited a lot with old-time
friends and relatives all over the
country. It took me some time
to get used to the wine that all
B rookings -H arbor Pilot. B rookings . O regon
would bring out when we went
to any home for dinner. Not be
ing used to it all these years,
it was quite an experience for
Mrs. Felipe and myself.
“Air travel is the only way to
go anywhere nowadays. We were
in Portugal 36 hours after we
boarded the plane at San Fran
cisco, and after three weeks we
had all the visiting we wanted
—ready to come home. Going by
steamship, to have had the same
amount of time visiting, it is
likely we would have had to
be gone from home at least five
to six weeks.
“I hope to go back again be
fore my mother departs this life,
Felipe cooncluded. “Since air
travel means such short distances
I think it might be nice to go
again next year.”
Asked if thought Portugal had
advance in the 30 yeaOrs in the
manner he had experienced in
this country, Mr. Felipe replied
“pretty much—they pattern lots
after America."
