their Christmas Club checks from the

The club had about that number of

the idea. The bank was on the point
of dropping this club scheme some

December ID, 1922.
Mr.. Lewis p Thayer,
The Messe ger-Sentinel Company,
Morrisville, Vermont.
My Dear Mr.. Thayer:
! am in receipt of your letter OF the
/ 9th instant, addressed to the post
master-general, in regard to the
establishment of village delivery
service at Morrisville and requesting
{ information concerning the require
ments for this class of service.
In reply, | desire to state that be-
/ fore this service can be established
it is necessary that certain require
ments be met, including good con-
tinuous sidewalks, street lights, street
signs, house numbers and mail re-
ceptacles of some character, door
slots being preferable In addition
to the foregoing, at least fifty per-
cent of the building lots must be i'm
proved; that is, houses erected and
occupied.
The population residing within the
territory to which it is proposed to
extend delivery must be at least
1900 and the gross receipts of the
postotfice not less than $1,000 an
nually.
However, in view of the limited
appropriation, the department is not
authorizing the establishment of viii
lage delivery service at postoffices |
except where there are urgent rea-
sons therefor, such as congestion in
the postoffice or inability to properly
handle mail through boxes or general
delivery which cannot be corrected by
other means.
Sincerely yours,
JOHN H. BARTLETT,
First Assistant Postmaster-G General
AS will be seen by the above, the
for village delivery are not
good
We need to extend the sidewalks,
which ought to be done anyway
out that means a larger village tax.
Not all the streets have signs or
house numbers. That would not cost
much.
Probably so percent of the lots are
ouilt upon, if we do not go out too
ar.
The gross receipts are sufficient.
But =
There is no congestion at the post S
flee or inability to handle the mails,
Nothing that cannot be corrected e
provided they get here. Nothing that /
annot be corrected by other means. h
If Morrisville was in a close or
oubtful state, urgent reasons" e
night be found, but Vermont can y
ways be counted before the vote is n
asst, so political expediency does not n
clip us here.
Better service between Morrisville y
nd Stowe was earnestly sought for s,

Free Village Delivery

(From the Morrisville Messenger)
Two interesting Letters Relating tc
This Matter from Mr.. Meacham
and the First Assistant Postmaster.
| General.
The following letter is self-explan-
atory. It's publication was deferred
until we could hear from the first
assistant postmaster general.
There is no question concerning the
! benefits of such free delivery pro-
vided we care to pay for the cost and
the government is disposed to grant
it.-Editor.
To The Editor:
Didn't you state it a little strong
as to the apparent disadvantage of
free postal delivery in our village?
The fact that every house must be
numbered and that a mail-box or
letter slot must be provided at every
door would not appear to be a great
hardship. | do not recall that anyone
kicked on having the R. F. d. service
because of having to pay for mail
box and putting it up on post. The
postmaster does not feel that because
there would be one delivery day
that people would be prohibited from
going to the postoffice later in the
day and inquiring for mail.
Isn't it possible that we might have
two deliveries day? The extra one
cent for dropping letters would prob
ably not cost anyone five cents year
extra.
Does your paper object to paying
one cent apiece to have the papers
delivered within the village limits +?
1t hardly seems as if the one cent a
week extra that it would cost you
would be passed ON to the subscriber.
| didn't notice that the papers in
and Mortified increased |
their subscription rate because of this
condition. Instead of trodding |
through snow banks and zero weather |
with wind blowing as we get in the
winter to get our mail, it would be a
great convenience and certainly a
fine piece of progress for the village
if we could have such an improve
ment, and l hope that your paper
will think best to advocate little
more heartily than you have done.
Very truly yours,
F. C. MEACHAM.

IN GOOD TASTE
BIZ Harold Donaldson Eberlein

NO. live hu SOAoio
All colors may te grouped in three
classes--warm colors, cool colors ana
neutral colors. Here we are concerned
with the first class, warm colors.
There are three so-called primary
colors-red, yellow and blue. All other
colors are derived from combinations
of these colors In different proportions:
Thus, red and yellow combined in equal
quantities produce orange; red and blue
combined in equal parts give lis violet
yellow and blue in equal amounts make
green. Black, strictly speaking, is not
color, but the absence OF color.
Neither is white color, but the COM
bination of all colors. According to
theory, all colors combined ought to
make white as a matter OF actual fact,
they make a gray.
Red and yellow are known a.
warm" or advancing" colors becaus
they create the impression of warmt.
and because red or yellow surfaces stand
out SO prominently that they seem to
advance toward you. Likewise, other
colors in whose composition either red
or yellow is the prevailing or strongest
element belong in the warm color class
and propOrtiOnatcly share advancing"
qualities. Thus, If there Is more yellow
than blue In certain kind of green,
that green is warm green. If there
il more red than blue in a certain kind
of violet, that violet is warm violet.

Read Your Character
CncOvering Enthusiasm
By Digby Phillips

There is usually something about the
way an enthusiastic person speaks which
Is also revealed in writing. 1t lies in
the choice of words and expressions.
The naturally enthusiastic person gen.
orally writes as informally as he or
she speaks. And in this, of course. lies
the most obvious method of telling from
a PERSONS letter whether he is Of the
enthusiastic kind or not. 1t would be
better to say "she,' for, rs a matter of
fact. enthusiasm is characteristic more
often found in women than in men.
Still there are times when the en-
thusiastic ones restrain their express
sions and become formal in their writ =
ing. How. then, would you be able to
spot them?
A little bit of analysis does the trick.
Enthusiasm Is essentially impulsiveness.
Therefore you wou'd 'dn't expect to find
enthusiasm in n person whose hand
writing (backhand) indicated the nat
ural schemer. nor in that (verticaD in
dicating the element of decided practi-
cality. Nor again would you expect
to see 1t in person whose small writ
ing betrays the elements Of introspec-
ton and studious concentration.
1t Is the opposite OF these indications
which show the enthusiastic one. 1t is
the forward slanting hand which re-
veals tendency TO impulsive action.
and the large formation of letters which
indicate tendency toward self-expres
sion. Then. too. enthusiastic people
are for the most part optimistic and
hopeful, so you would naturally expect
to find the lines of their writing ris-
ing toward the right of the page. The
! lrooDing lines of the peSsimiStS do not
