are that the town Of Northport,
which includes the villages of Satur-

Temple Heights and East Northport'
have the general postoffice at Sat

Northport goes to that office. In
Summer there is a postoffice on the
SO called "campground" at North

make their landings. There is also
a year round Office at East North
