HEAT WAVE

Heat had sent this week and
last literally hundreds Of the young
fry and the oldsters too to the
beaches in the biggest invasion of
the vacation spots of the summer.
With activities booming beyond
all previous seasons proportions at
the recreation program in the City

six weeks program Of swimming
and life saving lessons and beach

three-quarters Of the fiscal year
1859 he received 1924 for his SER
vices. The income Of the Office
also was apparently small, for the
record shows that after paying the
Office expenses the net receipts
amounted to three cents. Since
that time the business Of the Of
flee has shown a steady growth
and since 1910, when the receipts
were $7,144, the business transact
ed has increased to $19,468 in 1910.
Domestic money order business
was established at Sank Centre on
September 9, 1867, and information
al m. o. business on October 2,
1871. Rural delivery service was
inaugurated September Is, 1900,
with one carrier at a salary Of
$500 per annum. City delivery SER
vice was begun on November 16,
1927.
In this spacious new building
the postmaster, clerks, and carriers
will find more pleasant working
conditions, and at the same time
patrons will be accorded equally
pleasant and convenient postal fac
ilities. The postoffice service be-
longs to the people and it is con-
Quoted for their benefit. This is
examplified by the inscription ap-
pearing on the p. o. Dept. build
ing which in closing I should like
to repeat:
"The Post Office Department, in
its ceaseless labors, pervades every
channel Of commerce and every
theatre Of human enterprise, and,
while visiting, as it does kindly,
every fireside, mingles with the
throbbings of almost every heart
in the land. In the amplitude of
its beneficence, it ministers to all
chimes, and creeds, and pursuits,
with the same eager readiness and
with equal fullness of fidelity. 1t
is the delicate ear trump through
which alike nations and families
and isolated individuals whisper
their joys and their sorrows, their
convictions and their sympathies,
to all who listen for their COM
ing"
Going back into the old records
it is indicated that the Sank Gen.
tire postoffice was established ap-
proximately "a years ago, or on
October 81, 1857, with Warren Ad-
lev as the first postmaster. Sue

to attend the second summer SEES
sion at the University of Mime
sofa.
With the hot weather going
into the second week, water
sports at the Park and the en-
tire recreation program got Its
most terrific boost of the sea-
son. Estimates of attendance
ran to several hundred each
day.
Leaders estimated that in the
first three days probably TOO had
come to the beach and for every
hot day the count continued stead
lily upward. Monday at any one
time groups of from so to rs
splashing, shouting youngsters
were in the water.
Other recreation leaders, Clar-
ence Dickinson, Elizabeth Brown
and others announced they will
continue their part of the game
supervision in the Park. That, too
Mr. Dickinson pointed out, is more
popular during the heat than at
any time during the summer
Game supervision will continue
throughout August and night sup
ervision has been made available
during the warm days with leaders
on the job from six until dark each
evening.

street. It is expected that possibly the first ward caucus will be de- layed about IS minutes in starting to permit men attending the mission at St. Francis church to attend the caucus when the mission service ends.
 The convention will be at g p. m. on April 5 in order to permit dele gates who might be attending the mission service that night to at- tend.
 At the caucuses seven delegates from each of the three wards will be chosen for the convention, and at the convention the 2l delegates will decide who will be the party nominees.
 There is every indication of 8 vig- orous battle in all three ward cau- cuses. Burgess Dinneny has not yet announced whether or not he will be. James Farren is expected to submit 8 list of delegates in the first ward caucus.
 The second ward will have at least two contestants for the nomination as burgess. These are Burgess Thomas Broder and Andrew OToole, with Richard Ryan, whose name has been mentioned as 8 possible bur- gess candidate, not having an- nounced yet decision as to whether or not he will run.
 Line-Up Uncertain
 AS.A ed Mqp- pected to see a three-cornered bat tie for the burgess nomination but unccnfirmed reports heard here re- gently indicate there may be only two candidates, Burgess George Fel- lows and Creslo Klimaszewski, local selectman. It had been reported James Sheridan had been requested by friends to run but reports now are that he still has not definitely agreed to run. It was felt that Kim aszewski's chances were quite good if it were three sided race but the contest is likely to be close if only he and MT. Fellows are the con- testants. However, MT. Sheridan has not yet announced definitely wheth- CT or not he will be g candidate.
 MT. Klimaszewski's campaign managers, Walter Krzykoski and Walter Brazycki, reported today that Klimaszewski is gaining strength and feel confident he will win no matter how many opponents he may have.
 MT. Klimaszewski will resign as selectman in the near future, prob- ably after selectmen complete their

Cafeteria Bus Boy Cooks Up Play For Ruth Chatterton
By NEA Service

New York, March 27-Patrons of a certain downtown cafeteria re- gently have been startled to hear a tall, thin, curly-hesded bus-boy mutter under his breath as he cleared away their plates.
 They would have been even more startled had they known that the muttering signified the Muse at work-that 25-year-old George Don- aid Batson, better known to his fel- low employees as "Georgie," was making up lines of dialogue for play.
 Batson the bus-boy is no more. For Batson has new role to play, that of the promising young play wright who. authored Treat Her Gently. comedy in which Ruth Chatterton soon will start nation wide try-out tour.
 HE HOPES THAT
 SHE WON'T MIND
 A WPA course in playwrighting was the nearest to college training that BatSon ever came. He has been writing, producing, directing and acting in his own dramas, as an amateur and professional, ever since he was 15. He worked at odd jobs for the late Federal Theater Project, wrote a marionette show, "Time on Your Hands," for the WPA exhibit at the Worlds Fair. He took the cafeteria job as 8 stop- gap.
 Treat Her Gently" is about an actress "of the late Jeanne Eagels type" who returns to New York from Hollywood. Batson is leaving for Amarillo, Tex, to polish up the play after it's first performance, and his only worry now is that Miss Chatterton may mind his having been bus-boy.
 Please don't call me "a 'Cinder- ella Boy," he pleaded before leav- ing. ....,
