GIRL MAIL SORTER
MODEST CHAMPION
Lulu Cargill Finds Sensible
Clothes Increase Her Speed
in Post Office.

Common sense in dress and shoes has
contributed largely to the championship
record established by Miss Lulu n. Car
gill, sorting clerk in the Varick street
branch of the post office, who talked
modestly yesterday Of the Government
recognition of her speed of an average
Of es letters a minute Tor s hours.
Miss Cargill is one of more than
dozen negro girls employed by j. j.
McCrum. superintendent, and she Is by
far the fastest worker OF the more than
thirteen thousand employed in casing
nail for distribution to Ill parts of the
world.
The champion. who is 26. isl one Of
three children of Mrs. Mary ]. Cargill,
widow of 493 Poplar street, Roselle,
n. ]. She began the work in 1919 when
this country called on its patriotic
woren to release men for war service.
She was at the Grand Central station
first. remaining for two years, then was
transferred to City Hall for eight
months, and last February went to
Mr.. McCrums branch. He was one OF
the first superintendents to take women
into the post Office service.
"You couldn't stand on your feet for
hours at a time and sort mail If you
didn't wear sensible Clothes" remarked
shoes. a short plaid skirt and white
MILDLY blouse. "You must see that your
feet are comfortable. Women are nat
uraIly quicker at the work than men.
so when there are no other handieaps
they have a chance to exceed in speed,
My hours are from 3 p. NJ to IL 80
p. NJ. and the peak of the rush hours IS
between 6 p. NJ. and p. NJ.
"Speed comes from being able to move
your hands rapidly and to read like a
flash. You don't look at the thirty
four boxes in che case, which are for the
various States and countries. You menl-
orizc their location as you do the keys
Of o piano or q typewriter. II You
looked up each time you would lose
many minutes in an hour.
1--WE have one box called the 'hards,
where all addresses that cannot be
quickly deciphered are placed Most
of the letters here are typewriter, though
we do get a lot of handwritten mail,
too"
Miss Cargll, like the other sorters,
wears a broad rubber band on her left
thumb to ease each letter from the pack
she holds while she distributes with the
right The work strains the eyes, but
the clerks. among whom are seventy
five women, work under unusually good
conditions. The Varick street branch is
modern. light and clean.
Two men who have come nearest to
Miss Cargills record sorted 2S,525 and
2S,550 letters each in eight hours,
agains. her record OF 30,215. She can
speed up 60 10 in two minutes, said
Mr.. McCrum.

DEXTER COUPLES
GOLDEN WEDDING

Dexter, Jan. Mr.. and Mrs. Char
| les E. Cloutier of Upper Main street
who are among the pioneers Of the
French speaking residents of this
| town, celebrated their golden we'd
| ding anniversary at their home last
evening. During the day their hand l.
some home was thrown open to their
friends and last evening, surrounded
by their children, they enjoyed a pro-
gram of music and refreshments.
Yesterday they renewed their mar
riage vows before the altar at St.
AIMS church, Rev. FIR. Timothy c.
Nancy officiating.
Both Mr.. and Mrs Cloutier were
born at st. Josephs, Que, the former
Aug. "A, 1850. and the latter March %
1884. Mr.. Cloutier came to Dexter in
1867 and Mrs. Cloutier came in 1879.
They We're married in 1872, the cere-
mony being performed at the Flan-
iean house on Spring street. now &C.
cupied by Joseph Rand. At that time
there was no Catholic church in town
and less than 20 families of the faith
resided here. Mr.. and Mrs. Cloutier
have lived to see a handsome church
edifice erected in the parish which
contains 224 Catholic families and
property valued at $4,000 acquired.
Twelve children have been born to
Mr.. and Mrs. Cloutier, seven of whom
are now living, Mrs. Edwin Romeo,
Charles Q. ClOutier, Ernest c. Clou-
tier Frank c. Cloutier, Mrs Eddie E.
Clukey, Mrs. Olive Dyer of Dexter
and Mrs. Grace Conner of Winchen-
den, Mass.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cloutier have seen
many changes take place in Dexter
since their arrival over so years ago
Seven years following their marriage
Mr.. and Mrs. Cloutier made a trip to
their former home in Canada, walk
ing the entire distance in three days
and spending the nights in the open
air. At that time there was but one
house between St. Josephs and the
kennebec river. that being the Par
lin Pond House. At that time their
financial condition prohibited shelter
at hotels.
After remaining in Canada for one
and one half years Mr.. and Mrs.
Cloutiet returned on foot to Dexter
where they have since resided and
prospered. They have seen the
Franco-American colony grow from a
few families to many households, the
members of which are among the
most respected residents of the town.
Yesterday Mr. and Mrs. Cloutier re-
ceived the best wishes of many
friends and We're also the recipients
of many valuable gifts.
