The delivery of mail to the | homes will be taken up for discussion with the postmaster and any sug- gestions for improvement will be cheerfully received and carried out, if possible.
 The residents on the daily route are instructed to inform the carriers of some plan flor better delivery and l these will be reported to the office. Any complaints will be dealt with and remedied if possible. In turn the post office will check up on the mis- | own mail and notify them of the er- TOTS used in mailing, and give instruc- 1 tions on the proper method to be used. There are hundreds of letters and | postals forwarded to the 'dead' let ter office due to improper addresses when no return names are written on the letter.
