Commander In Chief of the U.8.
Army, Pacific, was the gradua-
tion speaker for the class of
1,368 U. 8. Army, tfavy, Marine
Corps and Air. Force officers
and 05 allied officers.
The 10-month course at the
Armys Senior Tactical School
prepares the students for duty
as Commanders and as Princi-
pal General Staff Officers with
the Army In the field from div-
ision through Army group, and
at field .Army support and thea
ter Army support commands.
The college's primary objec-
tive la to prepare selected offi-
cers for duty In the field during
wartime. Emphasis Is on the art
of command. The college also
prepares students to perform
equally well In such varied du-
ties as operational research and

trine.

ember 1960 and was last sta-
tioned In Viet Nam. He holds

on separately, are a $150,000.00
sewer bond Issue and the 1%
City Sales Tax.
The polling place will be City
Hall and the polls^wtjl >e open
from 8 a. m. to 6 p. m.
The sewer bond Issue Is to
finance the City’s share of a
proposed $275,000 new sewer
and sewer line extensions. 55%
of the ooet, or about $155,000,
will be federal grant and the
balance to be financed through
local means.
We predict that the bonds
will cost the city about $12,000
annually,” City Manager W. C.
Barnett said. “The 1% sales tax
la needed to replace these mon-
ies. Goldthwaite should collect
this much in the sales tax struc-
ture," Barnett added.
•The sales tax Is needed to
keep any added burden from
being placed on property tax
payers.”- Barnett said. “It has
been proven, over the state of
Texas, to be one of the fairest
methods of taxation,” he added.
♦
About 95% of Texas cities
have Implemented the 1% city
salsa tax since Its Inception sev-
eral years ago.
The Ooldthwalte City Council
recognizes the urgent need for
more sewer facilities for Gold
thwaite, and voted to hold the
sales tax election to offset Its
(the sewer upgrading) cost of
construction.

Brive Now Stands At S571.00
The newest Innovation of the
United States Postal Service —
Area Mall processing — was In-
stalled at the Brownwood, Texas
Post Office, Saturday July 1.
This announcement was made
by Carl C. Ulsaker, Regional
Postmaster Oeneral, Southern
Postal Region, which covers the
Southern United States from
Texas to Florida
“The program Is Intended to
speed the ultimate delivery of
the mall and to gain maximum
efficiency and economy through
full utilization of Brownwood’s
modern post office,” Ulsaker
said.
One electric cancelling mac-
hine Is available at the Brown-
wood Post Office to move the
Increased mail volumn from the
associate offices.
"The Brownwood Post Office
Is a Sectional Center Facility,
and the new system will revolve
entirely around that capacity
and that function,” he said.
Area Mall processing Is a
plan whereby virtually all mail
originating within a Sectional
Center Area. Including any or
all of the associate offices of the
Sectional Center Facility, will
i be consolidated at the 8CF for
complete preparation and pro-
cessing for outgoing dispatch.
All mall deposited in street
letter boxes or the out-of-town
letter drops at the associate of-
fices will be transferred to the
SCF for processing and will bear
the postmark designated for the
SCF area
The Brownwood SCF post-
mark will read, “U. S. Postal
Service. TX 768,” along-with the
date and AM 1PM designation.
The city postmark of Brown-
wood and each individual assoc-
iate office will not be changed.
Mall deposited in a designated
drop unit at a post office or a
letter box labeled “For Local
Cancellation Only” will be post-
marked at the local office of
origin with the name of that of-
fice. Each postmaster will have
deposit boxes and letter drop
units designated for this pur-
pose. All metered mall will bear
the postmark of the office of
origin.
Ulsaker emphasized that no
office will lose Its local poet-
mark.
Ulsaker, along with Norman
Duren, Goldthwaite Postmaster,
asked specifically that custo-
mers no longer use the word
“City" as an address in place of
the name of the city of desti-
nation. "Obviously," they said,
“in this new system, a letter
with Just ‘City’ could lose lte
Identity."
Post offices affected by this
program In the Brownwood area
are: Goldthwalte, Ballinger. E-
den, Menard, Bangs, San Saba,
Brady, Junction. Santa Anna,
Coleman, and Mason.
