B. Kemp Is Back From Washington

        Congressman Bolivar E. Kemp returned last week from Washington where as 
Congressman from this district he made a record for first year activities.  
During his stay in Washington, Mr. Kemp has secured additional rural mail 
deliveries.  He has started a movement to give Ponchatoula a Federal Building.  
He has made possible the securing of Free City Mail Delivery in Ponchatoula.  He 
has secured the dredging of the Amite River to relieve the flood conditions near 
Denham Springs and many other things which have been brought to our attention.
        Mr. Kemp will visit Ponchatoula within the next week or two and renew old 
acquaintances.  An invitation has been extended him to attend the Business Men's 
Association dinner on Thursday of next week, which Mr. Kemp said he would make 
every endeavor to attend, but that he had an engagement for the day before which 
might interfere with his getting here.
