Shared Holiday is a piogiam whereby underprivileged chil dren are given a chance to spend a two-week vacation with a host family, joining in the day-to-day lOutme and family life. Shared Holiday was created m 1965, and through many hours of volunteer help, has grown until in 1968 300 children were re ferred to our committee for placement Because of the limit ed number of host families, only 20 of these children were able to be placed in homes of host famil ies. All children who are referred to Shared Holiday are considered equally, with no distinction made according to race, religion, or nationality. Host families may express a preference as to age and sex of the child they will invite. Children receive medical exams before placement, and are covered by accident insurance. One of the advantages of a two- week program is that bonds of affection and understanding, and a natural family feeling can be established with the child. Host families are encouraged to con tinue their relationship with the children and family if they so desire following their initial placement period. Dates for Shared Holiday va cations this year are: Ist period - June 30 to July 12; second per iod: July 14 to July 26; 3rd per iod; July 28 to August 9. Appli cations may be obtained from the YWCA office or the Lancaster County Council of Churches of fice. Here is a chance to help a child. Dont say, “Maybe we’ll do it next year.” Do it THIS year. 1!

Postmaster General Winton M. Blount in Washington. D C. that the record $l2 billion 1970 deficit compelled President Nixon to seek postage rate increases. Without higher lates the Department will be left with a staggeung deficit that would become an added public tax burden. In addition to increasing letter mail fiom 6 to 7 cents, as piopos ed by the Johnson Administra tion, President Nixon also asked that second and third class mail eis help reduce the large postal deficit which would otheiwise be paid by taxpayers, the postmast er said. For bulk thud-class mail and most magazines and newspapers, the rates would be increased 16 pei cent to 20 peicent above to day’s levels, he noted. These per centages include rate hikes al ready scheduled by previous action of Congress. The President’s recommended increases will reduce the 1970 postal deficit by more than $6OO million. The postmaster listed these other details on the proposed in creases: First-class mail: Letters and post cards would be increased one cent, to 7 cents 'an ounce and 6 cents a piece, respectively, on July 1, 1969. Airmail postage would remain at 10 cents. This will yield $557.2 million in new revenues. Second-class mail 1 A handling charge of 3/10ths of a cent per piece for circulation outside home counties would become ef fective July 1, 1970. This would yield $l5 3 million annually and would represent a 12 percent increase in addition to the 8 per cent rise scheduled to take effect January 1, 1970. Third-class mail: For single pieces, rates would be increased one cent per piece. This would yield $12.4 million. For regular bulk third-class, the minimum would be increased to a uniform rate of 4.2 cents Januaiy 1,1970, as contrasted with the present rate of 3.6 cents The 1970 in crease would lift revenues by $46 8 million annually.
