low Electric. According to w. f.
Partlow, the dishwasher is ready to
operate after attaching the water
hose to hot water faucet, placing
the drain hose in a sink, and plug

THE easy installation and low

where permanent installations are
not feasible" Partlow said.
The new model is round and fin
ished in white enamel. It is mount
ed on rubber casters for easy move
cent from one location to another
in the kitchen. The dishwasher is
top-opening for convenience in
loading; stainless steel racks hold
an average service for six.
An impeller circulates water
evenly against all dish surfaces
with a powerful washing action. The
complete dishwashing operation in
wolves washing in a detergent solu-
ton and two rinses in complete
changes of hot water, Partlow ex-
planned. Dishes can be left in the
unit to dry by evaporation. The
length of the rinse and wash per-
iods can be regulated by the house
wife.

URGES ENTRIES FOR THE
TOBACCO VALLEY FAIR

Horace Hudson, secretary of the
Tobacco Valley Community Fair
urges people to prepare their ex-
hibits and bring them to the Fair
He says that it has been a dry year
and hail has inflicted damage and
some people might think their pro-
duce is not worth showing. But, he
adds, it takes a lot of exhibits to
make a good fair!
The Fair Board is sparing moth
ing in the way of effort and ex-
pense to make the l949 event an
outstanding success, and it is hoped
that prospective exhibitors will do
their full share in helping to hold
up the number of entrees, thus add
ing to the interest of the annual
event Back your Fair Board to
the limit.-It needs your help.

Libby TO Have
City Delivery

Libby will receive city delivery

announced today. It is hoped tc
have the service installed and work.
ing smoothly by December l, he
added. Confirmation of the pro-
posed service was received this
week in a letter from B. c. Burke
First Assistant to the Postmaster
General.
"The establishment of city de-
livery service and parcel post ser
vice has been approved" Mr..
ceive in the near future, satchels,
straps, small letter boxes and posts,
carrier routing cases and tools"
This will be enough equipment to
place the delivery service in opera
ton.
in order for the service to oper-
ate efficiently" Mr. DeRosia stated,
''it is necessary that mail received
for delivery bear the house num-
Der and street address of the pa
tron."
Il would advise all patrons who
will be given city delivery" Mr..
DeRosia added, "to inform their
correspondents as soon as possible
of their house numbers and street
addresses, and ask that these be
used in addressing mail to them"
Receptacles for the mail in bust
ness places will not be necessary
if the house is open for business
at the time of delivery. Otherwise
a mail slot must be installed. All
residences must have mail boxes
or slots installed to receive delivery.
City delivery should relieve the
critical shortage in postal boxes for
those living outside the delivery
zones, DeRoSia said. There are over |
sixty applicants for boxes not yet
filled, some dateing back as far as !
April l948. One hundred and |
thirty-five more boxes are being
used than in 1914. Three hundred |
and fifty people are receiving gen
eral delivery at the window
This helps explain why the pub
lie must stand in line at the post
office window. But there is even
more to the picture, Mr.. DeRosia
added We're buster right now
than some of the past Defenders"
When the gross income of December
1914 is compared to that of Deem
Der l948, an increase of $21, 557.84
is shown. In December 1914, the
last December in the old post office

from 81, 1914 to $8,985 for 7
