day night after long and careful consideration. In letters to families, Dulles said the "increasingly belligerent attitude and actions of the Chinese Communists in recent days” lonced the decision tnat passports < ould not be issued “for the time b ing" for travel to Red China. Calling again on the Reds to free the Americans, Dulles said that in the interests erf peace “we do not think it prudent to afforu th*' Chinese Communists further opportunities to provoke our nation and strain its patience further.’’ Without elaboration, J.e added that the United States would renew its efforts to win freedom for the prisoners if the United Nations fails to persuade the Chinese Communists to let

them go.

Administraton officials said it was “anybody’s guess" whether Dulles' decision would be used by the Reds to keep the Americans in jail longer. They charged j that the Reds, in making the j <nfer in the first place, had come j up with a "fiendishly clever. . . j ( fuel propaganda gimmick” do- | signed to cause the families g’. ief whether or not they tried to go to Red China to see their loved

Earl Hurst.

Mrs. Boatright presented the program and chose as her subpect. “The History of Postal Ser vice” which ha* been very close to her and her family many years. Postal service is older than our nation. In 1775 Benjamin Franklin was made the first Postmaster General. In 1893 "Rural Free Delivery" was instituted in West Virginia which was the home state of the Postmaster General at that time. In 1903 there were 15.000 rural carriers. By 1925 ther e were 45.000. the average length of each route being forty five miles. About 1920 the horse dr awn vehicle - were exchanged for automobiles. Soon the routes were lengthened and fewer carriers needed. The Indiana Letter Carriers met in Muncie in 19o0 and again in 1902, at which time they organized the association. This organization held a meeting for the first time in Greencastle in 1913. The National Letter Carriers first convention was held in Chicago in 1903. The fiftieth one was celebrated there in 1958. 1923 was the first time that Christmas was a holiday for- rur-

al carriers.

Rural routes were established in Greencastle in 1900 or 1901. There were eight routes here at one time. Walter Evans began •this work here in 1905 and although he did not begin on Route II, he gave the most years of service there. During much cf this tihie Mrs. Evans was tire regular substitute carrier for any of the routes from the local Post Office. Mr. Evans retired from active service in May, 1932. Indiana Federation of Clubs To Hold Art Breakfast The annual mi 1-winter Ccunci! meeting and Art Breakfast of the Indiana Federation of Club?, will be held Feb. 10 and 11 at the Claypool Hotel.

WRIGHT'S ELECTRIC SERVICE DEALER 505 X. Jackson St. Phone 64 APPLIANCES AND TELEVISION SALES AND SERVICE

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 28 (UP)—A proposed constitutional amendment allowing cities to choose their own form of government moved a step closer to a statewide referendum today. The Indiana Senate approved the amendment by a 38-10 vote late Thursday and moved it on to

the House.

j The 1953 General Assembly passed the measure two years ago. It must pass both chambers again this session and be approved by voters in the 1956 election before it becomes a part of the Indiana Constitution. It would free cities from legislative direction. Now, they all must have mayor-council type

government.

The amendment would allow residents of the city to retain the mayor-council form or switch to any other plan.
