Springville's Senior Citizen's organization came into the limelight again Wednesday, when they played hosts to Citizens from all parts of the county at a meeting designed . to better acquaint members with safety hazards. Nearly 200 citizens gather-ed at Memorial Hall in the forenoon to hear talks by pro-minent doctors and safety ex-perts on topics of special in-terest to this age group-Mrs- . Preston Hughes, safe-ty chairman, representing the Utah Medical Auxiliary, called the meeting to order and Mrs. Algie Balif, Provo, chairman of Utah county senior citizens activities, was panel modera-tor. Taking part in the discus-sions were Dr. Mark B. Jen-sen, Dr. Robert H. Nightingale and Dr. C. M. Smith. Following a panel discussion a period of relaxation was en-- , joyed before the group reas-sembled for a general discus-sion and question and answer period. Nearly a hundred stay- - Springville Senior Citizens played host to the county "youngsters" at Memorial Hall Wednesday morning at a meeting.

Indications are that activi-ties are increasing for Sehior Citizens in this city. They meet Monday to bowl and on Wed-nesday regularly in the after- - New postal rates take effect; letters, cards up one cent past 30 years, Day said, but the cost of mailing a letter has risen only 66 percent from 3 cents to 5 cents. The new rates which also apply to second, third, and fourth class mail are designed to produce about $260 million in new revue for the Post Of-fice Department between Jan. 7 and June 30 when the cur-rent fiscal year ends. One small benefit to the public of the rate change will be that stamp booklets sold by post offices will cost their face value of $1 and $2, no longer a penny extra. The new basic stamps are a grayish-blu-e George Washington stamp the 70th in the Washington series and a red, 8 cent air mail stamp that shows a jet airliner fly-ing over the U.S. Capitol. Beginning this week, the average American family's an-nual bill for postage will go up about $1.80. The reason: postal rate hikes approved by Congress last fall went into effect at midnight Monday. The cost of mailing a letter or postcard rose by a penny, making the new rates: Five cents for first class let-ters. Four cents for regular post-cards. Eight cents for airmail let-ters (one ounce.) Six cents for airmail post-cards. The hike will raise the nor-mal family's mailing bill to about $9 a year but Postmas-ter General J. Edward Day said a stamp "still is one of the consumer's best bargains." Mail rates to overseas coun-tries remain unchanged. But rates to Mexico and Canada will increase the same as for U S. Domestic mail. The cost of living has jump-ed 118 per cent during the City council approves bonding company to work on finances Springville City took further action in Monday night's council meeting toward securing the civic center.
