Rural Mail Box
Week In August

According to a recent bulletin is
sued by S. w. Purdum, Second Assist
ant Postmaster General, the week be-
ginning August l has been set as
Rural Mail Box Improvement
Week." It follows:
''Unsightly rural mail boxes de-
tract from the rural natural scenic
beauty along highways and are not a
credit to the owners of attractive
homes served through the boxes.
Rural mail boxes which are not pro-
perly erected or which are not in
good, serviceable condition retard the
delivery of mail and expose it to
damage from the elements.
ut is the desire of the department
to encourage patrons of the rural
delivery service to provide entirely
suitable mail receptacles and to erect
them in such manner that they will
be accessible to the carrier and pre-
sent neat appearance. It is espe-
cially desirable that the boxes be
maintained in such condition that they
will properly protect mail placed
therein, that the names of box owners
be inscribed on the side of the boxes

u. S. Army Asks
For Enlistments

Young men who are interested in
joining the U. S. Army, or who wish
further information on this matter
are requested to write or contact Sgt
Paul Steele, Army Recruiting Station,
in the village hall, Pine City.
The increase, authorized by the new
army expansion bill, provides for
many new enlistments. When a man
first joins he starts with pay of $21
per month, uniforms and equipment,
comfortable lodging, the best of foods,
free disqualification, medical and den
tai treatment. BY studying and ap-
plying himself he can be promoted to
various grades, the highest of which,
is that of master sergeant, which
carries salary of S157 per month.
Any young man between the age
of 18 and IS, single, in good health
and of good standing in his commun-
ity, is eligible for enlistment.
In addition to drill and schooling,
the army provides many various
sports and recreations, such as base
ball, football, hockey, bowling and
many others. Most posts and camps
have library and theatre, which are
open daily.
Here, is an opportunity to meet
many talented young men and men
who have had experience all over the
world.

spent in being just plain lazy, &C

visible to the carrier as he approaches
them, and that the boxes and their
supports be kept painted. Patrons
who have non-approved boxes of top
opening, revolving door, or other type
are not required to discard them, pro-
vided that they have been in use by
the present owners for several years
and are maintained in good, service
able condition. However, any boxes
not of the present standard type
which are of such design that they
cannot be properly served by the car
rier from his vehicle or which are
not in such condition that they will
protect mail from damage by the ele-
ments should be replaced with boxes
of approved type. Boxes, regardless
of type, should, of course, be of such
design and in such condition that
there will be no likelihood of the car
rier's injuring his hands when serv-
ing them.
ITO accomplish these desirable OBJ
jectives, the department has desig-
mated the week beginning August l,
