One bay area resident has
requested 100 copies of the

Since lite letters were made

5R.000 copies have been dis
tributed to Oregonians for

will be a real 'Cireen Letter

son and N. H. Gladfeltcr have
been appointed to the budget
committee of the Oregon Unit
ed Appeal which has members
from every united fund in Or
egon. A tour of child care agen
cies serving all of Oregon is
scheduled for May 9 and 10.
Pacific Power and Light, as
a public service, will provide
transportation by air from
Medford to Portland, and bus
transportation to the individ
ual agencies. Any interested
person is invited to go. The
only cost to tour members will
be one overnight hotel bill
and meals, Horton announced.
Any volunteer agency that
wishes to apply for United
Crusade membership should
do so at this time, Horton said.
Member agency budget re
quests will he returned to the
UC hudget commilUe by
May 1
The budget process will be
concluded and a . report marie
to the Unilod Crusade board
June 14, at which lime the
goal for 198,1-64 will lie set.
A meeting of representa
tives from the United Crusade
member agencies is scheduled
for May 8 at the Red Cross
chapter house to discuss mu
tual public relations problems.
In July we will have an 8
cent airmail stamp that glows.
This will help the sorting ma
chine to send sn airmail en
velope into a special channel
for airmail only. I guess none
of our 34,667 U. S. poslofficcs
will have these stamps
sale, these stamps will
known as "tagged ". Of course
all collectors hope there will
be a first day of issue.
July 24 will give us an 8
cent airmail stamp honoring
Amelia Earhart on the 65th
anniversary of her birth. First
day of issue will be at Atchi
son, Kans., her birthplace.
Is the time of day really
necessary in a postmark on
our letters? Our postal depart
ment is wondering about this.
Many postoffices have discon
tinued this old tradition and
no one has even noticed. I
have a few letters as long
ago as 1960 with the time of
day missing. Changing the
time slugs in cancelling ma
chines takes much time and
this helps to slow up the
movement of mail.
In June we will have our
Freedom from Hunger stamp.
To date we have sent $17
billion in surplus foods to
hungry people all over the
wuuu ainte luot. J lie crime U' .t-it. , .,
