Postal rules allowed carriers to
use the cars "as long as the car
could be used steady. When the
car couldn't be used for a day, back
to tie horse until spring" I'VE
liked TO use the cars until after
Christmas" Mr.. Wardle said After
that we didn't care"
No Mileage
AT that time, the Federal Gov
eminent paid SIS per month for a
carrier. and granted no mileage al
lowance. A man had to provide
everything except his pouches and
straps. Two horses were necessary
and were used alternately, one for
one day, the other on the next day.
"Of course" Mr.. Wardle said, II
was single when | started. ! got a
room for so cents per week and
my board for SO week"
1T was seldom that the roads be-
came impossible" he said, be
cause OF the old 'path-maker' sys-
tenn. Under this system, each
township had a road commissioner
He in turn appointed a pathmaker
who was in charge OF approximate.
ly one mile OF road. He would get
the farmers IN the roal to clear
the snow away. In this manner
they were able to pay of their as
sessment for road improvements.
Before he quit using the cart, a
light, two wheel vehicle, Mr.. War
die wore OFT four sets OF wheels
Only once did a horse run away.
although he broke many colts on
the route during the winter months
That happened one day when the
cart struck Saline car line track
between Summit st. and the city
limits on Michigan Ave. where the
line swung from the center OF the
street TO the side. The axel OF the
cart broke. dropping a wheel, and
the horse ran away. II headed
back for the Post once, then 10.
Gated on the southwest corner OF
Pearl and Huron SITS. and was
caught as II ran along Huron st.
Change Colts
When breaking colts, Mr. Wardle
had an arrangement with Bates
Fulton, futile Hill Rd. He would
drive one colt there, then change
to a second for the rest Of the
route.
Al butcherlng time and at Christ
mas and Easter farmers along the
route would give him meat. pota-
toes. vegetables, eggs and other
farm produce. One Easter he was
given IS dozen and eight eggs.
He used TO drive back to the
house for Mr.. and Mrs. ]. R.
Holmes, who's house was located
at what is now $3.50 Whitaker Rd..
to take their mail to the elderly
couple. He would drive 10 the door.
call out. and throw the mail into
the house when they opened the
door.
Aside from delivering mail he
was a travelling Post Office.
picking up letters, taking pack
ages TO mail. and even insuring or
registering them for the people
along the route.
All roads improved. he used his
car more and more, buying a new
car every year. or sooner, II neces-
sary. A set Of mud grip tires got
him through nearly all kinds of
weather. He never used chains
because part OF the route was
along a cement highway, and pair
OF chains would not last on il.
Mr.. Wardle's son. Richard, a city
mail carrier before entering the
service. has returned to the Post
ONCE. and hopes TO transfer to
route one.

of the assessors in the following manner:
 "The assessor shall possess ell the powers and shall perform all the duties in and for the city imposed by law upon assessors of towns"
 MT. Healey then referred to sec. ton ll41 and 1142 of the general statues of the state, revision of 1850, covering the duties of the assessors.
 He pointed out that Sec. 114l says in part that when the lists of any town shall have been so re- ceived or made by the assessors they shall equalize the same. If necessary, and make any assess ment omitted by mistake or re- quired by law. The assessors may increase or decrease the valuation of property as named in any of such lists or in the last preceding grand list
 Sec. ll42 states that the assessors of all towns shall during each period of 10 years after Feb. 1, 1880 view all of the real estate of their respective municipalities and shall revalue the same for assessment"
 Protest Meetings Continued
 Meanwhile, individual community clubs continue to protest. A meet. ing of the Fairmount Club was held last night in which 1t was voted to give financial and moral support to the combined community clubs council. Ralph Benson conducted the meeting. A second similar ses- sion of the group will be held after the committee of delegates which attended the Council session Wed- nesday night reports to the cluo E. L. Cook is president.
 R, A. Ferris, president of the Bucks Hill Community Club, has Forwarded a communication to Mayor Monagan in behalf of the club members protesting the revalu- ation.
 The protest is as follows:
 "At a recent meeting of the Bucks Hill Community Club it's members voiced a ptotest that the recent re- valuation of the property in our section was very unfair and we wish to disapprove the figures as given on these properties"
 Officers Selected
 Jerry DeA6unda was elected preSi' dent of the Park Road Improve ment Association last night which decided to unite with the other civic groups in fighting assessment increases. The new club decided not to join the West End Commun- ity Club which had extended an ln' vitation.
 Other officers elected are:
 Vice-president, George Neumaieri treasurer, John Ricciardi, and sec' retary, Miss Elizabeth Ricciardi.
 Six men named to study the as' sessment problem were Leslie Rood, Peter Carroll, Otto Drumm John Price, Frank Hess and Rich' ard Joy.

Continued from Page D not their enemies. It is advocated by people wi.0 are endowed with the spirit of fair play. We have rights, we have duties to our coun. {. try"
 In explanation of the labor un- lest at the onset of the postwar era which exists throughout the country, Senator McNdahan asser- ted that it cannot be expected that the economic fabric of the nation can be built without some birth pains.
 Labor and industry are strain ing to the breaking point" he said Tt is my opinion that disputes over wages and hours are not the only reasons for strikes.
 Strain Has Been Great
 We have been through a period of five years in which everyone was straining, straining, straining, in order to win the war. We strained with the happy hope that the minute hostilities stopped, every. thing would smooth out, and we would have complete peace and happiness. Man lives largely by hope, and not on bread alone.
 When the shooting stopped, we began to realize you can't mobilize the forces of peace as you can with war, and we find ourselves faced again with crucial times"
 In conclusion, the Senator assert ed that people everywhere must make an effort to ameliorate diff1- culties to preservice the fabric of American government and of the world.
 America must assume leadership in the world of nations. It is leadership which was thrust upon her. But nevertheless 1t is a leader ship which we must not disown. We must settle our problems. We must be strong. Not only for the nations cause, but for the entire sisterhood of nations of the world"
 John c. Murphy, regional direc- tor of the AFL, charged that if la bor held up the reconversion pro- gram as industry has, by putting goods in warehouses, they would find themselves in jail" He called upon labor to organize strongly.
 At the convention dinner last night, the Rev. Joseph P. Donnelly, director of the Diocesan Labor h. stitute and alternate chairman of the State Board of Mediation and Arbitration told the delegates that the nation today looks forward to the same spirit of cooperation for full production, full employment, and a high standard of living as both labor and industry offered during the war. The priest advises delegates to realize the part the la- bor movement has in building a bet ter America.
 Among the resolutions passed yes- terday was pledging of the feder- ation'S full resources to striking workers of the Yale and Towne Company'S, Stamford factory. An other called on Congress to enact legislation making it illegal for in- dustry to charge of taxation pur- poses funds used to publcize labor controversies.
 An election of officers will be held today. The convention will close to- morrow.

 The American agents, he said "have one eye, on the boat for home and the other on their German mis- tresses."
 The official admitted he was dis turbed by the present situation and said frankly that the whole Amer lean Set-up for combating an un- derground movement "cries to high heaven" for correction.
 Lack Warrant for Arrest
 As an example of alleged AIneri- can inefficiency, he said a former lleutenant-colonel of the Nazi Elite Guards Corps recently arrived in Berlin and was spotted by German civil police. They notified American Intelligence officers, but were told they could not arrest the man be- cause there was no warrant out for him.
 He also took issue with the hard and fast identification policy laid down by the Americans which, in the words of one American official calls for the removal from public office of anyone who even smells of Nazsm."
 The German police official said that by busting all Nazis, even nom- inal party members, the Americans were merely driving dangerous men into the underground.
 15O Pamphlets Found
 The first underground pamphlet was found on Nov. 30 near the Tenn pelhof airdrome. Since then, about 15O have come into the hands of AL lied authorities.
 The latest proclamation, addressed to "all Germans" said no one had listened to Nazi propaganda during the war but that such propaganda now would be "a full success because everybody sees the mess that exists here now"
 Who turned Berlin into a heap of ruins and aSfes?" the pamphlet asked. Was 1t Hitler, or Roosevelt and Churchill?
 Naxism Not Asleep
 "The Anglo-Americans with their Negro pilots accomplished this job unworthy of mankind. Nobody dareS says that now, yet it is the truth.
 No woman can walk alone in the thinly populated districts because they are afraid the Russians, who were supposed to bring culture, would attack women to satisfy their animal instincts.
 But nobody opens his mouth. One thing these Communist gentlemen must remember-National Socialism is not asleep"
