Mr.. Stacy had q stroke of good
luck when one of his former rural
carriers came home on leave from
the service. He spent his entire
leave helping catch up on deliv:
cries.
According to Mr.. Swart, the
rapid designations haven't been
the only source Of trouble. New
subdivisions have sprung up all
around with new street names to
be learned. The rural routes
served by the postoffice extend a
total of lis miles. There are ap-
Iproximately 1900 boxes and sew
eral families use many of them.
He thinks the worst is past
now, with the authorization for
the fourth rural carrier and all
Iof the new men pretty well ac-
quainted with the routes. About
the only deliveries not current are
third class mail, he said. Nothing
lis as far behind as it was a week
ago when some mail stayed in the
post Office seven or eight days.
In fact things are getting to
the point where Mr.. Swart thinks
he soon can devote his full time
to the regular duties of a post
master.

Multiple family units, individual

to be bought comparatively by in
dividual residents, and limited
number of detached homes to be
built and owned individually.
Among the conditions of sale
worked out is that the coop must
have increased its membership to
represent at least 81 per cent OF
the present 1900 housing units
and must have collected 10 per
cent Of the total sale price to de-
posit with the Government.
AS far as individual members are
concerned, this means 10 per
cent deposit on the purchase price
OF their homes plus an unspecified
payment to go to the co-operative's

Mr.. Swart started having trouble
holding on to his quota Of three
rural mail carriers. The jobs just
didn't seem to pay enough for
the amount Of work involved and
several quit.
Then came three more rural
carrier designations since Sep
tember 20. That meant hiring
new men who had to be taught
the routes. A fourth rural car
rier was authorized October /,
which meant another unframed
man to break in.
All the time deliveries got later
and later, and piles of undelivered
mail grew to Christmas proper
tions.
Mr.. Swart barely was able to
keep his head above the sacks by
working IA and Is hours a day.
He spent the morning hours ar
ranging it for delivery. Then he
would 60 out on the routes-some-
times alone and other times to
show new men their way around.
Many of the rural route residents
were surprise to find mail arriv-
ing on Sunday because Mr.. Swart
found it necessary to make deliv-
cries personally on that day.
