Walnut Bottom,

Mt. Zon, Noy., 2, 1886.
An article appeared in your paper
last week concerning certain conditions
at Walnut Bottom school and as bus
driver in this community am able
to reply to it.
The first thing I want to bring to
light is the way in which the meeting
place of the children becomes in
volved. This place of meeting is the
Walnut Bottom school house, which
has been occupied by a family for
several years as a dwelling house.
About the middle of last winter the
health officer visited this home and
found that the father had symptoms Of
tuberculosis. The school authorities
were notified of this at once and a
school bus station was placed upon
the school ground for the children to
wait in so it would not be necessary
for them to enter this home to wait
for the bus.
The article mentioned further states
that there were seven weeks last win
ter that the bus did not make its daily
run. AS driver of this bus I can safely
say this statement is not. correct, as
there has not been that MANY days lost
in the five years that l have been
driving this bus. For some time last
winter the school was closed because
of bad weather, but fail to see where
this can in any way reflect upon the
running of the bus.
At the beginning of school this year
loaned my bus to the Swanton bus
route two weeks and used instead a
large Nash sedan that was comforta-
BILE and roomy and at ALI times en-
deavored to take good cafeidf the ones
who were entrusted to my care and
look after the interests of the school
community.
1 substituted for the Swanton driver
when he was sick and had young man
of our community drive MY bus for me.
This young man passed the examina-
ton and had his card, and a number
of the people who signed The petition
and made complaint usually had him
to drive them to Oakland and else
where and I supposed in good faith
that if they considered him qualified
to drive them to market and other
places where they wished to go, he
would be the one they would want to
drive the bus also. =. ~
There has been a petition circulated
to have Walnut Bottom school reop-
ened. The petition states that there
are fourteen scholars nowi &vailable
with four or five more in a short time
took this petition around. to the ones
who signed it and had them make out
a list of the scholars tHemselyes and
this paper is now in the Office OF the
Board of Education, Oak4and T

Postal Authorities Prepare For Biggest
 Business In Years
No SubStatOns, Planned for Parcel Post, Postmaster Announces Sites Listed for Local Re-
 giOnal Office of Social Security Staff

mented staff of carriers and clerks will not swing into action until the 17th or 18th of the month.
 Parcel Post
 No special parcel post stations will be set up this year. The cen- tral post office, aided by the regular sub-stations, will be able to handle the added demand for service, he said.
 Increased business and employ ment conditions in Waterbury are given credit for the large amount of money orders, letters, cards and packages being deposited this year in the local post office by Postmas- ter Babin. At the same time the postmaster pointed out that the final date for mailing to a few remaining European countries is only two days away. The ..uropean countries nearer the shores of the United States can still be served. The dead-line for farther removed Eu- ropean countries has been passed.
 Stamp Buyers
 Local parcel post mailing for all parts of the United States, Canada and Mexico are beyond many years records. Today at the post office there was a steady demand for stamps. Lines were long in front of the stamp, parcel post, money or der and registry windows. The sub stations here are located as follows: 945 Bank street, 184 West Main street, 738 South Main street, 434 South Main street., 375 Grandview avenue, 563 East Main street, 2 Grove street, PAP East Main street, 656 Baldwin street, 275 South Main street, 196 Walnut street, 1721 East Main street, 194 Cooke street, 242 North Main street, 209 Willow street, 839 Baldwin street and 125 Baldwin street.
 Regional Office
 Postmaster Babin confirmed the report today that regional social security office would be set up in Waterbury. He said he suggested several places near the post office building on which bids might be asked. Among the places mentioned were the Waterbury National bank building, the building at the corner of North and West Main streets owned by the Waterbury Savings bank, the Cassidy building on Leavenworth street, the Steele building on West Main street and the Morgan building on Bank street. The federal authorities de- sire building very near the post office building. According to re- ports. the bid of the Jones-Morgan building owners on Bank street is being looked upon with favor by the federal authorities. The gov- ernment wants 1,050 square feet of space for its local offices. Postmas- ter Babin said he had no informa- ton as to who will go on the staff of the local office. The selection of the supervisor and his staff is up to the social security board in Washington, D. O., 1t was pointed out.
