The Unietd States Postoffice De-

beginning May 5 Rural Mail Box
Improvement Week." Second As
sistant Postmaster General Smith
w. Purdum announced today.
Mr.. Purdum said: "Unsightly
rural mail boxes detract from the
natural scenic beauty along high
ways and are not a credit to the
owners of attractive homes served
through the boxes. Rural mail
boxes which are not properly
erected or which are not in good,
servicable condition retard the de-
livery of mail and expose it TO
damage from the elements"
According to George L. Edmonds,
Rockville postmaster, approximate
ly S52 rural mail boxes are served
by the Rockville post Office. This
represents 1,075 families and a
population of 4,738, DR.. Edmonds
said.
