POSTMASTER
GIVES BANQUET

1t is not always the big things that
are the most significant and accom-
plished in their purpose. In this re-
spect we refer to the most beautiful
and pleasant event that took place
/ last Sunday evening when it was the
pleasure OF Postmaster A E. White
to banquet the entire office force OF
the Payette post-office, as little
token OF his appreciation for their
efficient service rendered during the
( past year in making it possible for
him to give the patrons of Uncle
Sans mail service 1909 in efficien-
cy, and as a further token of friend
ship the Editors Of the two news
papers, and also Mr.. Venable, a
former editor, and for twelve years
Postmaster at this place were made
guests OF the party.
There were just thirteen in num-
Der that sat down to the beautiful
decorated table at the White Lunch,
who partook of the sumptuous tur-
key dinner at 1890 and pulled our
watches later to find that the de-
vouring of the good things to eat and
the pleasant "reminiscences of the
past, mostly given by rather informal
speeches by the entire party had
taken up the time until 3ong after ten
O'Clock.
The table decorations were very
appropriate for the occasion, the
words, Service and Loyalty were
inscribed on white paper monument
in the center of the table, from which
white crepe streamers were extended
from the top down to each plate.
thus connecting the people with
service and loyalty.
At each plate were found tayors OF
various kinds which in a measure de-
noted something of the occupation
of each member OF the party. All
together 1t was a very unique affair.
One remarkable feature, five OF
the party now in the service were
employed during Mr. Venable's time
as postmaster. Mr.. Kay who has
served for the past fifteen
years as carrier on Star route. Albert
White, carrier on Route No. 2. I6
years in that capacity Luther Peter
son, clerk II years, V. C. carp, as
sistant postmaster II years being
transferred from railway service in
1918, and A. E. White, postmaster
who began under Mr.. Venable Octo- /
Der 1908, as clerk, but was absent
from the mail service over two years
while serving in the Worlds war.
