"D0BBIN' MOTIVE POWER

Twenty-Five years ago this morn ing, Julius B. Woodruff. uncle of the present town clerk. hitched up his buggy and started as carrier of the first rural free delivery collection this town had. Today marks the silver anniversary of the +. F. D. service. somewhat advanced in these days from the service in 1902.
 Since that date the post office service has made considerable head way in Kensington, although Berlin center. where the service was born. has not made any tremendous strides towards advancement. residents point out Today's rural free de- livery for the section originally cov- cred by Carrier Woodruff on that memorable June morning will be taken care of by Hiram Hubert, Kensington rural carrier. who makes deliveries and collections in the afternoon after Kensington and Blue Hill, has received its mail.
 Carrier Woodruff's route included Beckley. which is covered now by Lewis A. Griffith of Kensington in the morning. Central headquarters for mail service in the town has switched from Worthington Ridge, where the first rural delivery was started. to the present modern office in Kensington.
 Much can happen in 25 years. The old post office before which Carrier Woodruff fourished his whip in 1902 burned recently and the Warrington office Is at present sharing space with town officials at the town hall. Kensington has erected a large. modern building which includes the post office for that district as we'll as the head quarter for rural delivery in the township. An auto truck takes the place of "Dobbin" except in the spring when a horse trayerses the muddy roads which would baffle even the sturdy post office truck.
 Postmasters have come and gone. Charles Williams. the veteran carrier Of Kensington who recently resign ed. has gained national recognition from the headquarters of the post office service at Washington. Today the Kensington office has as Its per- sonel, Sidney NJ. Cowles. postmaster: Miss Margaret Flynn. assistant post master; Hiram Hubert, rural car- rier and Frank Giana, town carrier. Worthington Ridge has Ambrose Barrett as postmaster and Mrs. Ban- croft as assistant. East Berlin has Mrs. l.. NJ. Root as postmistress.
 Today's objectives in the Worth- ington district are similar to what they were 25 years ago. namely q new post office. Residents claim that the center of the town has not advanced in proportion to the years in regards to mall service. Rumors of a new post office building have been numerous and indefinite. The o5th anniversary finds Worthington Ridge in much the same predica- ment as it was in 1902 as the office enters its second quarter century of rural delivery.

VENNEsE FLAVOR IN
 THE WALTZ DREAM''

There is charm and fervor, joy and pathos, comedy and just little note of sadness in "The Waltz Dream" the U F A special which has it's first showing at the Liberty tonight. The flavor of old Vienna is in the picture, and one has an intense longing to go to that gay city, where girls are blonde and gentlemen are men; where music and the luscious white wines of Grinzig blend to make happiness. Really, the film is enough to make any one daft about Vienna.
 Then, of course, the fact that Oscar Strauss operetta forms the basis if the story, and Oscar Strauss famous waltzes form it's. musical background tends to make the evening at the Liberty theatre thoroughly enjoyable.
 The players and director of "The known in this country But U F A producers of the picture, are famous, for Passion" "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari'', "The Last Laugh" "Varie- ty" and many other worthwhile pro- auctions.
