Main Office, 22 Substatior,s II
In Jan,b0ree Postal System

| All the postal facilities generally
found in large city have been set
up at the jamboree camp to handle
the large volume of mail pouring in
and out Of there every day.
The general or main post office is
in the general headquarters section.
| and % substations have been estab-
| lished, one for each section. The
main Office is run by United States
postal employees, assisted by several
Scout executives, but the branches are
IN charge Of the scoutmasters In each
section.
Except for the unpainted board
walls, the main office resembles in
every way a real post Office. The
usual scales, stamp drawers, mail
bags, racks and mail boxes are there,
plus the brightly colored posters Un-
Gle Sam uses to advertise the different
types of postal services available. EN-
ployes are rushing busily around,
weighing mail, sorting it and selling
stamps.
Four incoming deliveries and five
mail for Jamboree City first is re-
ceived at the main Office, where it is
sorted into the different regions. Ex-
cept for those Scout executives con-
nscted with headquarters, no mail is
distributed to individuals at the main
Office. From there it is delivered twice
each day to the regional Offices, and
the final delivery is made by the
scoutmaster to the boys in his troop.
Special delivery mail and registered
packages are handled in the same
way they would be in a real city. A
dispatch rider is assigned to the Of
flee, and whenever a special pack
age comes in he Immediately hops
on his bicycle and takes it to the
proper section. The only difference
between the Scout Office and a city
Office Is that outgoing mail is not

sorted into the different sections Of
the country there, but is sent to the
Washington post office, where it then
is sorted.
Improperly addressed mail or mail
with an incomplete address also goes
through the main office where they
have special system Of discovering
the location Of the Scout for whom
1t Is intended. The post Office is right
next to the information booth, where
the name and location of each scout
Is known, or If this fails, the post
mark on the letter is read to determine
the point of origin. 1t is then sent
to the section Of the camp where
Scouts from that part Of the country
are staying, and 1t generally is easy
to locate the right one then.
All this work is done by the Scouts
and scoutmasters working under the
eight postal employees in the main
Office. The Scout officer in charge
Is Edwin Kappel of New York City.

CAMP SITE ONCE SWAMP

Much of the land on which the
Jamboree camp is located was at one
time a swamp or even part of the
Potomac River.
Tiber Creek ran through what is
now general headquarters west of the
Monument, and the sections OF the
camp around Riverside Drive at Hains
Point are built on land reclaimed
from the Potomac River. The camp
on Columbia Island and at the en-
trance to Arlington Memorial Gene
terry IS built on land reclaimed from
q swamp or the river.

CAT WITH SIX LIVES IS FINALLY SLAIN

HATFIELD, Ky.-George Bing- ham, who writes a daily front page editorial column in the Mayfield Mes senger, got a letter from Kaye Wyatt.
 It speaks for itself:
 My father, Denver Wyatt, of Mayfeld, discovered that a very mean outlaw tom-cat had been eating our chickens. He shot the cat two times Friday morning, then knocked him in the head with a stick and threw him into a cistern which was about 12 feet deep. The cat weighed 12 pounds.
 Sunday evening as my father was fixing to milk the COWS, this same mean tom-eat had come back to earth having climbed out of the cistern and was full of fight.
 My father yelled for my brother to bring the gun right quick, and the cat was again shot two times. and 1t ran of about B yards and climbed a tall sapling, and then the cat was shot out of he tree, and ran of some distance further.
 Then our neighbor and his fox hound came over and our little fox terrier and the hound got into a big fight with the tom-cat, and the cat bit the little dog through the leg, also bit the big dog.
 Then the cat was again shot for the sixth time and knocked in the head, and was then thrown into the cistern with a big rock tied around his neck, and he hasn't come back any more"
