Shades of Wells Fargo and the old Pony Express. In cities throughout Oklahoma last week, a pair of young businessmen, Thomas Murray, 43, and Darrel Hinshaw, 31, were operating their own private postal system in direct competition with Uncle Sam-and making money at it too. No wonder. The U.S. Post Office these days is a monument to inefficiency, and week after week the catalogue of complaints grows fatter. Curious to learn what was in the badly battered package delivered by the postman, a Cleveland physician ripped off the wrapping and released a swarm of furious bees. Intended...
First-Class Third Class. Murray and Hinshaw decided that they could only do better. Last winter, on an investment of $2,000,000, they formed the Independent Postal System of America. Right now their corporation handles only third-class "junk" mail (which accounts for 27% of all mail), mainly in Oklahoma, with outlets in Tulsa, Ardmore and Oklahoma City, plus one in Dallas.

...enthusiasm for joining fraternities. The total number of men being "rushed" last fall was the lowest in five years. The houses are reportedly filled to only 77 per cent of capacity, and some are in serious difficulty. Fraternity alumni, alarmed at the trend, see a nefarious plot afoot. Joseph Hinshaw past President of the Illinois Bar Association, recently discussed the problems facing fraternities today and called upon them to utilize their "basic strengths-their family-like unity, their selectiveness, and their high standards of conduct-to face hostile leftist forces...
