Some very interesting data has been gathered concerning the Oak vile post office and the men who have held the office of postmaster within tho past 86 years. The dedication of the new federal building last Saturday caused some of the old time residents of the vile to reminisce. Russell H. Pope, ST., who has a flair for sta- tistics unearthed several facts of more than passing interest. Thir- teen men have held the postmas- tership within that period. On two occasions g son succeeded his father. In all there have been three sets of fathers and sons in the history of the office.
 MT. Pipe in his research traced the history and location of the office since 1854, and the name of the postmaster.
 Nathaniel H. Perry was ap- pointed postmaster on January 10, 1854 when the office was located on lower Main street, west side, opposite the old brick factory of the Oakville company.
 Others named were:
 Jerome Newton, April 28, 1857.
 Samuel M. Bronson, Oct. 2, 1858.
 Jerome Newton, Nov. IA, 1860.
 Chaunccy Grisw0ld, Feb. %, 1864.

Valentine Day! Event Popularly Ob- served Today-In- crease in Mail
 Deliveries Noted

St. Valentines Day today found thousands of Valentines being de- livered by mail or in person. Some were tender tokens of love, others were not so tender and reflected anything but love.
 Cupid's arrows went in all di- rections and forms. There were flowers, candy and other gifts; there were valentines lacy enough to delight the hearts of an earlier generation; there were simple, di- rect modern valentines.
 On the other side of the pie ture, valentines poking fun and puncturing bubbles of dignity were much in evidence.
 Merchants said that St. Valen- tines Day business was brisk. Youngsters going to school bore valentines by the dozen, ready to give them out to teachers and classmates.
 Parties sponsored by societies and in private homes tonight will contribute the social touch to the traditional observance.
