bud even having the slightest touch of
frost. The buds on Fruit Ridge were
also looked at and none could be found

A drive in the country impresses one
that the valley is gradually becoming
more metropolitan. The new mail boxes
| to receive the rural free delivery system
placed along the roads are . great ac-
comodation to the farming community
Any day the farmers children can be
seen on their way to the corner with lot
ters for the mail man. and in return the
little red flag on the boxes shows that q
representative OF Uncle Sam has been
along and deposited something OF inter-
est to its owner. Many hour are saved
the farmers and already they look for
the carrier with his precious load.
