TROUBLE FOR
POSTAL WORKERS

In the hurry and scurry OF
getting of cards and packages,
much of this matter comes into
the post offices with poorly
written or incomplete address,
es. Not merely do the Ameri-
can people load the postal en-
ployes with a perfect noun
tain Of holiday work, but they
have to wear their eyes out
studying illegible writing and
imperfect addresses.
If people must load this
mighty task on the postal
workers, they should at least
see that every address is clear
ly written and contains every
thing necessary to locate the
recipient. Otherwise the dead
letter office is likely TO be the
destination of much of this
stun. Uncle Sam does not
ned any more rminders of this
kind.

YOUR RELATION to your home
town is good deal like that of peo-
pie to their bank. If you put moth
ing in a bank, you can't expect to
take anything out. Some people ex-
pect to get lot out of their home
towns, in the way of service, jobs,
and opportunities, without having
given their community anything in
the way of effort.

YOU GET BACK about what you
give. If you devote time to the
cause of good citizenship and indus

these efforts bring a sure and tan

your acquaintances broadens out,
your chances for getting jobs and
business are greatly enlarged.

In that connection and complicat-
