nizes needs of Morgantown.
New Carrier and New Clerk added TO
the Post Office Force Homer b.
Fogle and Harry Caples are APP
p0inted-Mew Division Of the De-
livery District to be Made.


AS result of the visit OF Post
master Fitch to Washingt, Nor.
gantown has two more added TO the
postoffice force. One carrier and
one clerk have been allowed. They
go on duty at once. Homer B. Fogle
was appointed as the carrier and

ter was appointed temporarily. The
former being the sub carrier was
given a permanent appointment.
DR.. Fitch showed the wonderful
Increase in the population and
amount of business being done in
Morgantown and the department
after an investigation decided that
it would be right and proper to give
him more help.
The appointments authorized
have been made and the new men
are on duty. Mr.. Fogle will aid the
other carriers until after the holi-
day rush is over when the town will
be cut up into new districts and he
will be given regular route.
During the rush which it is now
at its height he will help the car
rier having the largest amount Of
mail on every delivery and in this
manner will be of greatest service to

to stop and divide the delivery dis
trict into new routes as the force is
too much rushed just now TO give
the matter the proper attention.
All this will be looked after ust
as soon as the Christmas rush is
over.

ly for the regular appointment as
clerk and for sub carrier.
