Australian Mailnen
Have Tough Job

SYDNEY -(P)- Around 1,164
miles long is the postman's Meek
atharra- Marble Bar circuit in the
center of Western Australia. Leng-
tbs of some of the other 399 road
mail routes in Western Australia's
north are: Carnavcn-Yardie Creek,
564 miles; Leonora-Lawlers-Wilu-
ma, 462 miles. Mail contractors in
the area cover 2,276,130 miles a
year-almost all rough brush tracks
in some of the worlds most SPAR
sely populated country.
Only four years ago the postal
authorities dispensed with pack
horses in the North Kimberleys
area. In the monsoonal season
these horses often had to fight
through floods, pold through deep
mud, swim swollen rivers. Mail
men might go so miles to deliver
half dozen letters. But air seryic-
es have now taken such hazards
out of mail deliveries in many pairs
OF Australia's north.

FELTON,

FELTON, schools opened according
to schedule on September Z, for all
pupils. The new school board spent
many hours getting the building
ready for the classes but the re-
suits show their work to be worth
while and greatly appreciated.
During the summer months an
annex to the school building was
placed on the school grounds and
much remodeling was done. In the
annex, there dre two rooms that
are being used for the shop and
the music classes, which allows
more space for equipment and mat
erials than was possible for these
classes in the main building. A
piano has been purchased for the
music room and the piano in the
auditorium have been tuned this
week.
In the main building, the room
that was previously used for the
Ihop classes has been divided into
two classrooms which make it pos
sible to have ell the Jr - Sr. high
school pupils on the first floor OF
the building at all times.
This year FELTON, is able to offer
q commercial course to It's stud
ents for such q course has just been
added to the curriculum. New type
writer's, tables, chairs books and

In an attempt to help you choose
proper hats in keeping with the
newest fashion trends. this column
Is devoted to q few hints.
Well-dressed men should have
hat wardrobes.
Now this is not nearly as pocket
robbing as it may sound! BY the
term hat wardrobe" I do not
mean to imply anything as all
, inclusive as gray topers and brown
derbies. but just the basic oc-
casion-hats to suit the average
needs.
There are two sound reasons
for this; the first is that you
should have the proper hat to,
wear for the proper occasion OTIS
difficult to find a single hat that
can be worn for every occasion
in good taste). And the second
reason is a practical one, in that
by having more than one hat
you keep the wear and tear evenly
distributed, ultimately saving the
hats themselves and that ever
important stuff known as money!
The hats illustrated represent
an adequate. well-balanced hat
wardrobe for the average man.
At left is a snap-brim hat which
can be worn in good taste for
business and all occasions in town,
for both daytime and informal
evening wear. This is an i'm
portant member of the trio be-
cause most mems time is spent in.
the city.
It incorporates several fashion
details which are new this season.
The crown has a slight taper
which Is becoming to the average
facial contour, and the brim snaps
very wide at the front. It features
wider r-than-normal binding on al
moderately narrow brim. This is
In keeping with the general trend
to moderate width brims. Tol
balance the wide snap at the
front, the rear has modified
upturn giving a symmetrical line
all the way around.
With leisure time more abund-
ant, and autumn being a season
for spectator sports events, you'll
want a more casual hat to suit
these occasions.
The Tyrolean type is well suited.
It takes its inspiration from more
extreme versions originally and
still worn in the alps. This one
has become Americanized, and
combines smartly with tweed or
hannel-type suitings and popular
camel hair or cheviot-type outer
coats. It's made in a rough finish
felt, trimmed with corded band,
and Incorporates self-pocket at
the side to accommodate small
but distinctive brush trim which
adds q colorful yet masculine
touch. The crown of this hat
is decidedly tapered and is usually
worn unpinched.
For the third member Of this
"balanced triumverate," adaptable
to more dressy occasions. I sug-l
gest q hat on the order Of the
one pictured at the right. It
is one of the various types OF
'off-the-face" models being worn
by more and more well-dressed
men.
Although it is not quite as
formal as the Homberg. 1t isl
dressier than snapped-brim va
rieties.
While it's more difficult to wear
there Is one type which can be
worn by men with almost any
facial contour. This one has al
tapered crown and moderately
wide brim. Choose it in darker
shades Of brown or gray.

The department has issued a

they could save time and still do
