When he was 24 years old, Ab raham Lincoln was made postmaster in New Salem, Ill., a job which he later described as “too insignificant to make my politics an objection. The post office was located in Lin coln’s store but he often put letters in his hat and delivered them to ad dressees, according to Alain de Cadenet, philatelic historian and consulant to the British Post Office. Lincoln often read the letters to the recipients who were unable to read.

(conoco) By CATHY KIRKHAM Battalion Reporter Gig ’em is the word. The 3 feet by 4 feet chicken wire thumb placed in front of the Rudder fountain Tuesday marks the kick-off for the first annual Aggies for the United Way campaign. The cam paign will run until Oct. 31. Dr. John J. Koldus, vice presi dent of student services and head of the 1979 campus drive for the Brazos County United Way cam paign, said this is also the first year Bryan and College Station have combined their campaigns to form a bigger, better United way. “This year we are also trying to get Texas A&M united and involved as part of the whole community,’’ Koldus said. John Schneider,. campus chair- 10.662% Interest and some nice people. man of the student drive said a monetary goal has not been set for this year. “We are trying more to just set a precedent for the years to come.” Groups actively coordinating the campus campaign are the Corps, the Off Campus Aggies, the Residence Hall Association, Alpha Phi Omega and Saddle and Sirloin. Sam Marshall, Corps chaplain, is heading up the Corps involvement with the campaign. He said Monday and Tuesday night representatives from the different outfits plan to meet and will discuss “a chain of command’ to pull together ideas that can be carried down through the outfits to aid in the campaign. “One prize we have come up with is to give the outfit that gives the most a morning to sleep in.” Marshall said the Corps public re lations department is also working on the project. Scott Terry, OCA vice president, said collection barrels will be placed at the three bus stops to give off campus Ags an opportunity to get involved. Todd Huckabee, Saddle and Sir loin president, is coordinating a campaign through Saddle and Sir loin and the entire College of Ag riculture. He said a barrel will be placed in the Kleberg Center lounge. Schneider said the barrels will be emptied into the giant thumb everyday at 5 p. m. and put back out at 8 a.m. the next day. When the informal ceremony was over, Koldus’ $1.67 was the first contribution to hit the bottom of the Aggie thumb. Next time you re in Mexico, stop by and visit the Cuervo fabrica iti Tbquila.
