ship. We have about 200 voters in
the district.
It is sincerely regretted by the pa
irons Of Rural Route No. / that their
carrier, S. =. Nickerson, is forced to
retire on account of the age limit. Mr..
Nickerson has carried this route ever
since it was established, more than
fifteen years ago. His wife has been
his only substitute in all that time. In
his more than fifteen years of service,
Mr.. Nickerson has missed only one
day on account of sickness, and to-day
is as young and vigorous as most men
at 50. OF course he has made mis-
takes, and been criticised for them.
The writer has been postmaster and
knows something of the difficulties Of
the rural carriers;and if these same
critics were put on the job they would
make mistakes t 90. The trouble is,
people expect too much of the postal
employees. Postmasters and carriers
have some rights, but tn public seems
TO ignore all this. The plain truth of
the matter is, if some of these trouble
makers could be transplanted to heav-
en- this world would be much pleas
anter place to live in. Mr.. Nickerson
has travelled 114,375 miles, to say moth
ing of "side trips, nd he has always
been as contentious and painstaking
as it is possible for human being to
be. He can retire with a clear con-
science, and we all must say, "Wel]
done, good and faithful servant. Mr.
Mckerson has no plans for the future
but we hope he will find something tt
do and continue to reside in our midst

interesting because Of the large
part taken by local delegates. Local
Legion men are disappointed over
the fact that next year g state con-

they are consoled with the fact
mat the boxing measure proposed

lined up for this winters activities.
The big job for each scoutmaster is
the lining up Of three men, as troop
advisors. An outline of duties of
each of these committeeman has
been worked out at local head
quarters and if these duties are un-
dertaken the scoutmasters should
have some real help In conducting
their troop from now on.
A splendid Scoutmasters' course
Of training has been worked out and
will start sometime In October.
Those completing, this course of
training will receive diplomas from
national headquarters. The Scouts
Of Rock Island will have some real
times this winter inAsmuch as sev-
eral big rallies where all Scouts in
the city can get together have been
splanned. A big campers reunion
is also being planned for the winter
months, and inasmuch as the num-
Der of Scouts who attended camp
this year was far larger than all
other camps taken together. it is
being eagerly looked forward to by
the Scouts. The Davenport camp
ers will be invited to attend this
get together and there will be OPP
portunity for the campers to re-
new friendships made at Scout
haven.
