"The Life and Advent- bbm of a Hail Bag by Uncle Sam," would be a. good title for a book much more interesting than many that find their way into print. No on» but Uncle Sam could do justice to the nar- rative, for no one but that dear, übiquitous old relative of ours could follow one of the busy pouches as it whirls across the continent, skims eve- the ocean or flies through space to bear its precious load of messages to the army of men, women and children anxiously awaiting its ne. Briefly, and to begin at the beginning, the par- ents of the young mail bag are Cotton and Leather. There is a—little iron and a little brass In its composition a strain -of strength you might say and it* birthplace is Lyons, X Y. That Is. ail the common pouches are born at Lyons.

Coit Johnson stands sponsor for their careers. The cotton duck of which the bags are made comes from a mill in North Carolina, and It is woven so tightly as to be practically waterproof. In the weave there are thirteen stripes of blue. Ifyou don't find the thirteen stripes in a mail bag, you may know that It doesn't belong to Uncle Sam. Even if you do find th* thirteen stripes, how- ever, it isn't absolute proof that Uncle Sam cwns the bag. as the postoffice officials recently discovered to their surprise. A few days ago there landed in the big repair shop at Wash- ington a pouch with the name "Bucharest" in large black type across Its side. The bag was built like ours, and. what is more remarkable, gripes of blue woven tad the familiar thirteen TAYLOR IN LYONS, DISTRIBUTING MAIL FROM BAGS IN THE NEW YORK GENERAL POSTOFFICS. „ — into the white duck.

The Joint Statement was the eventual result of management’s foray into promoting managers who lacked the skills to talk to people in a professional and respectful manner, back in the mid 1980s. Many of these under-qualified yet upwardly mobile employees were incapable of managing, so they abused their power by constantly intimidating, coercing and threatening craft employees, to make the numbers. After two horribly regrettable shootings in two distant offices, the national parties of the USPS and all the postal unions signed the Joint Statement in a combined effort to stop the abuse. At that time, it seemed as though the service had finally realized that pushing its folks from the top levels to make the numbers by using any means possible, was the primary cause of all the problems on the workroom floor. Add someone who manages by intimidation and a craft employee with personal issues, and you have a recipe for disaster.

It was built around 1365 to house Edward III’s personal treasure as part of the palace at Westminster, and is one of the few buildings from this complex to survive today. In the 17th century, the Jewel Tower became the record office for the Houses of Lords and from 1869, it was the home of the Weights and Measures office, which set standards used across the British Empire.

    Oregon Nordic Club PORTLAND CHAPTER MARCH 2016 Anthony Lakes delivers powder snow I had dreamed of skiing at Anthony Lakes for over 40 years— this was the year! We drove over on Wednesday and decided to make a stop at Meacham Divide to break up the drive a little. We only skied about an hour, but found the ski trails— an easy network of trails and roads— worth further exploring, before continuing our drive to the Good Bear Ranch at the foot of the Elkhorn Mountains 10 miles out of Baker City. The 5,200 square foot log cabin was amazing, a real work of art. Everyone finally arrived about 6 p.m., after a great dinner we had a relaxing evening. Everyone was excited about skiing Thursday, the half price day at Anthony Lake Mountain Resort, and to make it even better, anyone over 70 years of age skied for free! What a deal! We broke up into groups, some skiing part of the 20 miles of groomed ski trails, others exploring the off- piste powder above the Resort and sampling a few of the lift runs at the end of the day with single lift tickets. A great start! Friday we headed back up to Anthony Lakes only to get turned back by high winds that shut down the resort for the day. So instead we headed back to the Ranch and put on the skis and headed out for a tour across the Ranch and up the road toward Goodrich Lake. We had not planning on a long tour and did not bring lunch and water for the day, so we turned back five miles from the lake.

  • The Old War Office Building
    MINISTRY OF DEFENCE The Old War Office Building A history The Old War Office Building …a building full of history Foreword by the Rt. Hon Geoff Hoon MP, Secretary of State for Defence The Old War Office Building has been a Whitehall landmark for nearly a century. No-one can fail to be impressed by its imposing Edwardian Baroque exterior and splendidly restored rooms and stairways. With the long-overdue modernisation of the MOD Main Building, Defence Ministers and other members of the Defence Council – the Department’s senior committee – have moved temporarily to the Old War Office. To mark the occasion I have asked for this short booklet, describing the history of the Old War Office Building, to be published. The booklet also includes a brief history of the site on which the building now stands, and of other historic MOD headquarters buildings in Central London. People know about the work that our Armed Forces do around the world as a force for good. Less well known is the work that we do to preserve our heritage and to look after the historic buildings that we occupy. I hope that this publication will help to raise awareness of that. The Old War Office Building has had a fascinating past, as you will see. People working within its walls played a key role in two World Wars and in the Cold War that followed. The building is full of history. Lawrence of Arabia once worked here. I am now occupying the office which Churchill, Lloyd-George and Profumo once had.
