As Tall As Lincoln
ON HIS WAY from Springfield to Washington,
many men stepped up to the plat-

their height against his. Most of them were shorter. In
Pittsburgh, a husky coal miner proved to be exactly

AS TALL AS LINCOLN! What about the height of
his mind and spirit; Lincoln was as tall in character
as he was physically. He stands out, head and should-

generals insulted him and

HE WAS TALL IN COURAGE. He had the courage
to stand up for his conviction that the nation could
not continue to exist “half slave and half free.”
HE WAS TALL IN JUSTICE. He pardoned many

® Of This n That
(From page 1)
Our personal collection of
wooden “stompers,” which
we displayed in The Bulletin
window two days last week,
occasioned many interesting
comments.
But none was more
esting than that of J.
Landis, Lancaster County
auctioneer, who saw the
stompers when he came into
The Bulletin office on busi-
ness last Friday.
“Potato mashers!” he chuc-
kled. “Do you know, a potato
masher was the very first
item I ever sold by auction-

“It happened at Manheim
Township junior high school
when I was in the seventh

for a little ‘sale’ our class
was having—and I remember
the potato masher brought
the amazing sum of (fifteen

Add to last week’s “People
do interesting things:”
Mrs. Fran Greiner, Park
Avenue, fell while skating
several days ago and broke
her left shoulder.
Mrs. Greiner is an accomp-
lished organist. Although she
has a heavy cast on the upper
part of her body, her left
hand is free, and she told us
this week that she can lift it
high enough to reach the key-
board of the organ and con-
tinue her practicing.
“Some new music came,
which I had ordered,” she
said, “and I was afraid I
couldn’t play it with a brok-
en arm. But my hand reaches
up just far enough — and of
course an organ takes very
little pressure on the keys—
so I get along fine!”

Build Machine
To Read ZIP
Postmaster Elmer Zerphey
has received word from Post-
master General John ‘A. Gro-
nouski in Washington, D. C.,
that a big “breakthrough”
has now been made on elect-
ronic machines to “read”
ZIP-coded addresses on mail.
“The Postmaster General
said he expects to begin in-
stalling these sophisticated
machines in major post offic-
es starting in about a year,”
the postmaster explained.
Zerphey said each mach-
ine will be able to sort, as
well as read, at the rate of
35,000 letters an hour.
The offices to get the ad-
dress readers have not been
announced, but the local post-
master said they will have
significant effects on the mail
in and out of each communi-
ty regardless of whether it
gets the new machines.
This is because they will
speed incoming mail to smal-
ler offices from major cities
and step up the dispatch of
mail deposited in smaller
communities but which must
be processed enroute at maj-

ling under the system of mail
processing already in use
which will continue to be in
use as the basic system at
most points. These machines
will be just another step—in
conjunction with the mech-
anical mail sorting machines
we have developed—to help
keep pace with the growing
volumes of mail. Neither will
the machines endanger jobs—
they will only help us meet
mail expansion with mini-
muni manpower expansion.”

grandchildren and 27 great-
grandchildren.
Among those attending the
party Sunday were her two
sisters, Mrs. Horace Funk of
