boards so that the lower shelf
is 4 inches from the floor and
the middle shelf and top shelf
are IA inches apart. The bot

property owners in having numbers
installed as soon as possible. Many
house numbers are located too high,
or too low to be plainly visible from
the sidewalk. Many numbers have
been carelessly painted over and
others are obscured by vines and
trees and are not visible either by
city letter carriers or by visitors seek
ing house locations.
Bluffton business section is espec-
tally in need of numbering, Mr..
Stearns notes. Very few stores and
firms in the community have num-
bers. Many times the mail is slow in
delivery due TO lack of proper address
ing of the mail matter and lack of
numbering on places of address.
Postmaster Stearns requests each
property owner in the community to
check and see if house numbers are
properly placed. If new numbers are
needed, same are obtainable at a
nominal charge from local hardwares,
lumber yards and other firms.
Residents of apartments are espec-
tally requested to also check and see
If numbers are erected at their place
OF residence and names properly
lettered on mail box. Persons, or
firms not knowing their number may
obtain the information at the post
office, Stearns stated.

NEW BOOKS
AT THE LIBRARY

Children, now in the middle of their

in the addition of new books to local
shelves. Among the children's books
recently added are:

husk doll she obtained in her forest
rescue of two Indian children from
bears.
Cousins, by Evan Commager. The

search for southern lady who faded
from sight just before their grand
mothers wedding.
Our American Trees, by Ruth III.
Dudley. A simple Informative account
OF American trees. It's chart-maps
and clear, simple definitions and
stories bring the wonders of the
forest within easy understanding.
The House of Sixty Fathers, by
Meindert DeJong. Set in China during
the japanese occupation the book tells
how faith, courage and belief in the
impossible brought a young boy,
stranded in enemy territory, safely to
his home.

scholars as they are enjoyed by
younger folks.
Big Catalogue, by Nina Baker
Brown. 1t was a big order to begir
a mail order house in the 1870s, but
Aaron Montgomery Ward did it. His
fairness and honesty in dealing with
his unseen customers was the turning
point in what has become a fantastic
national business.

tinents were named He opened the

Postmaster Asks Cooperation
In Placing Numbers On
Homes And Businesses

Residents of Bluffton are requested
to use full street addresses in mailing
letters locally, instead of just address
ing them "Bluffton or City" as has
been the custom of some mailers in
the past.
Acting Postmaster Ralph T.
Stearns says that when Bluffton was
smaller this did not present a prob
lem. Bluffton is rapidly growing.
There are many people who have like
names, children receive letters and
cards and in addition a large influx
of new residents the past few years
makes the handling of mail without
street addresses an increasingly
difficult problem.
Many houses and business places
in the community are without house
numbers. This causes additional
difficulty in locating residents who re-
ceive mail locally. Postmaster Stearns
is asking the cooperation of all
