The two origi- ral carriers who started duty back in 1s1t are still active and cover their routes every day regardless of the weather. The two veterans of the force are Gordon Davis Hartson. let- ter carrier No. 1. and Pearl Warner Smith. letter carrier No. 2. Both arc we'll known in Plainville and have hosts of friends.
 Since the inauguration of the car rier service, the post office business has greatly increased and 1t has been found necessary to increase the carrier forces. both, for city and rural deliveries.
 Advice to Patrons Postmaster James E. Usher, through the national department, states that it is evident that many people, including prominent busi- nessmen, are still unaware that di- rectory service is afforded in the post office and consequently the are ignorant of the post office require- ments in the maintenance of the di- rectory. principally the duty devoiv- ing upon the public of notifying the post office immediately ones ad- dress is changed. either within To- cality or from one postal district to another.
 Many patrons are unaware of the simple operation necessary in ap- prising the post office of new ad- dresses namely, procuring . proper blank. from the carrier or post off, flee. on which the old and new ad' dress may be quickly noted. and re- turning it to the source from which received for entry in the post office directory. A post card or letter ad- dressed to the postmaster may also be used.
 Postmaster Usher urges the local people to cooperate with the post office department in this matter and thereby save considerable delay in the delivery of mail.
 He also wishes to state that ex- tension of collect-on-dslivery serv- ice to domestic registered and un. registered sealed mail of any class bearing postage at the first claas rate will go into effect on July l.
