Dat old debbil, the postal deficit is breathing down the neck of the taxpayer again. Prospects are that it may reach $700,000,000 this year, according to some estimates. There are many factors responsible for this overdose of postal red ink, according to Postmaster Agnes E. Scowr. Foremost is the fact that prices charged for postal service have not risen to match increased costs in recent years. The price of our chief commodity, the familiar three cent stamp for a letter, has not increased since 1932, declared Agnes Scow. While it is true that the rates for parcel post and some other services in the post office have increased moderately, none compare with increases in commodities dealt with in other businesses she pointed out. The cost of rail and other transportation which the post office uses in the form of mail cars, busses and mail routes, has grown tremendously, but has not been matched by similar increases in postal rates. The cost of labor in the post offices, which has necessarily kept pace with the increased cost of living, has added heavily to the overall cost of operating the two , billion dollar postal business. Recent approval by Postmaster General Summerfield of a thirty-fiv- e percent raise in parcel post rates is a step in the direction of reducing the deficit. - Even with the cost of sending a package parcel post will still be considerably less than by express. It is probable, concluded Postmaster Agnes Scow, that if postal rates were raised in exactly the same ratio that prices of other commodities and services have risen since the war, the postal deficit could be resolved very quiek- - regarding social security may contact the social security representative at the courthouse in Pric on Tuesday, June 2, from 9:00 a. m. to 3 :00 p. m. freeze controls Typhoid Mary Wednesday by Sen.
