BOARD LEADERS AT PAN AM — The board of regents at Edinburg’s Pan American College has been re-
organized. Henry Morris (left) of McAllen is chairman. Newly elected officers are Morris Atlas, (center)
also of McAllen, vice-chairman, and Barney M. Davis (right) of Corpus Christi, secretary. Davis was ap-
pointed recently to a six-year term by Gov. Preston Smith. Both Morris and Atlas are original regents, ap-
pointed to the board in 1965 when Pan Am entered the state system. Morris has been chairman of the
board since 1965 and Atlas has served on many important committees. (Pan Am Photo by Gerald Whitaker)

There is the old legend that
mys the United States mail al-
ways goes through, regardless
«f sleet, storm, and other va-
garies of nature.
* * *
And for years beyond re-
call the United States mail was
Inviolable, and woe be to any.
one who interfered with its
delivery.
* * *
However, recently in San
Francisco an interesting situa-
tion occurred. Thirteen mail-
men were caught throwing
•way 5300 pieces of third class
* * *
Taking prompt action, postal
authorities filed charges against
the thirteen and the whole mat-
ter was brought before a Fed-
eral Grand Jury. But by some
rationale, not yet clear, the
Grand Jury refused to indict,
which set the men loose.
* * #
But the Postal Inspection Ser-
vice, which is somewhat like
the FBI in postal violation mat-
ters, has taken action.
* * *
On the orders of this branch
®f the postal service, the men

were relieved of their Jobs.
* * *
But the thirteen vow they
will fight their dismissal right
up to the Postmaster General
in Washington, if necessary,
because they say that their sup-
ervisors knew they were dump-
ing mail, and as long as they
are- not being charged, they are
not guilty of tossing away mail.
* * *
Of course, the thirteen take
the position that they were
only throwing away junk
mail, with no recognition of
the fact that people paid good
money for third class postage
to get the mail delivered.
* * *
Whether or not the postal
service would be so diligent
in maintaining the integrity
of the mails in all cases is
perhaps a moot question, but
on the other hand, it is to
be hoped this attitude is firmly
held.
* * *
But perhaps playing a role
in the San Francisco case is
the fact that part of the mail
thrown away was a Congress-
man’s newsletter to his con-
stituents.

Who is this lady?
A. Little Orphan Annie.
B. The Jolly Green Giantess.
C. The Statue of Liberty
D. MaeWfest
If you picked anything
other than C, well, you’re in
a whole lot of trouble.
Sure, you probably picked
the Statue of Liberty. Every-
body knows who she is and
what she stands for*
Or do they?
It’s amazing how many
of us take this proud lady of
the New York Harbor for
granted.
We should know that
her proper name is “Liberty
Enlightening the World.”
That she symbolizes the tri-
umph of freedom over tyr-
anny. That she is a declara-
tion of our independence.
Of course, we need more
than statues to remind us
of our freedom. We need ac-
tion, by each and every one
of us.
And that’s where U. S.
Savings Bonds come in. They
help preserve that thing
called freedom.

They help make this coun-
try of ours economically
stronger to tackle some of
the problems that face us.
And, buying Savings
Bonds can be easy and auto-
matic. All you have to do
is join the Payroll Savings
Plan where you work, or the
Bond-a-Month Plan where
you bank. And then you
can sit back and forget ’em
while the money piles up.
So think about the free-
doms we enjoy. And think
’about U. S. Savings Bonds as
a way to keep us free.
As for Miss Liberty, well,
when you’re in
New York go up
and see her
sometime.
If they're lost, stolen, or
destroyed, we replace ’em.
