Monday, April II.
Hetters re9iesting that the or
yganizations consider the part they
gre willing 70 play in putting on
heSFair have gbeen dispatched to
all civic ofEapizations.
After ASeyeral years during
R1hich the%Fair proved one of
-Greenhelt's most popular events,
the annual show was abandoned
last year. Councilmanic discus
sion on the possibility of reviving
the Fair seems agreed on the
desirability of having the show,
but grave doubts are held that
people can spare sufficient time.
Longer hours, shopping difficult

may combine to force abandon

POsmastership At
Rockville Open

The death Of DR.. George l.
Edmonds, Rockville postmaster for
several years, leaves a vacancy
which has given rise to specula-
ton regarding a probable sue
cessor. It is being pointed out
that postmasters, now being under
civil service, are appointed for
life term, which makes it a
most desirable position.
During the illness of DR.. Ed
monds, Norman E. Ward was
transferred to Rockville from the
Silver Spring branch. Mr.. Ward
was subsequently appointed assist
ant postmaster with full respon-
sibility Of the office. Many pa
irons of the office feel that ap-
pointment Of the postmastership
will come naturally to Mr.. Ward.
A native Of Rockville, Mr.. Ward
has spent fnore than twenty
years in the postal service, fif-
teen Of which were in the Rock
vile office. He was transferred
to Silver Spring in 1895.
1t is customary for the APP
pointment to follow qualifying
examinations. In that event there
will likely be other aspirants al
though no names have been thus
far publicly mentioned.

post offices and building associa-
tons is being completed and final
county figures will be available
soon, Mr.. Green stated.
Following is a letter written
by Chairman Green to THE SEN

Through the generous space
you allotted us for front page
news items and the advertising
you carried, we were able to
reach many whom our committee
could not contact on account of
the time allotted for this drive.
"The success of the drive in
Montgomery County was due in a
large measure to your splendid
cooperation, and may / again ex-
press my thanks and wish for
you the continued success Of your
