An ~illiterate patron approached
the window of the Summitville

son, if she would write a letter
for him. She obliged and TYPED
his dictation. For the next few
months the same request was
made, sometimes as many as twice
a week. Mrs. Anderson graciously
furnished her own stationery and
typewriter as well as her skill
Finally the same patron came
in and after debating his letter
and listening to it being re-read,
he said:
'Miz Anderson, I've got a job
l mean a good job-Make over
$4,000 a week and l aim to pay
you for writin' so much for me-"
She assured him there was no
charge, she was glad to help. He
insisted, however that NOW Pm
making good money l don't aim
to have you work for me fer
nothin'. Here, you take this
money-at least for your time and
envelopes. And placing two
pennies on the window ledge he
walked out.
In 1941, the first Highway Post
Office Route, using buses which
provide facilities for the distribu-
ton of mail in transit, was estab-
lished between Washington, d. c.,
and Harrisonburg; Virginia. Later
in l94l routes were established in
Indiana and California, and at
present there are over 200 High
way Post Office Routes in opera
ton serving more than 1000 post
offices throughout the Nation in
areas where rail service has be-
come inadequate, in new metro
politan areas that have grown up
outside of the service range of
railroads, and in areas where
parallel railroad lines require
interlocking service, and service
to intermediate cities and towns.
In 1943 the Postal Zoning sys-
TEN was started in 1874 of the
largest post offices. This method
of addressing mail has been in
use in some foreign countries, and
it was found that it enabled faster
distribution and sorting of the
mail, especially by less exper-
fenced personnel.

Warn Parents To
Keep Plastic Bags
From Children

Thin plastic such as the bag your
drycleaner returns your clothes in
has many uses, but it should not
be used as a child's p%laything or
as a cover for baby's crib, the Ma
tional Institute of D~rycleaning
warns parents.
In a special notice from its head
quarters in Silver Spring, Mary
land, to its $500 members all over
the world, the Institute has aler-
ted drycleaners to an Arizona
physicians report that in six
months four Phoenix children had
suffocated after becoming envel-
oped in the clinging plastic film.
1t is believed static electricity may
have drawn the film across the
children's faces preventing their
breathing. One Phoenix victim
was four years old, the others two.
George P. Fulton, Institute
General Manager, has urged dry
cleaners to warn their customers
against giving plastic bags to
children as toys. The National
Safety Council, the American
Medical Association, and various
state medical societies are also
alerting the public to the hazard.

stitute statement, "the plastic bags
are perfectly safe" They are pop

many uses for them. Hundreds of
millions OF the bags have been
distributed by drycleaners and
others since plastic became so pop
liar five years ago, the statement
points out. 1t adds this does not
essen the need to warn parents

'aution as they do headache

nd flammable fluids" keeping

OFFERS
OF GRASS KILLER

Occident Elevator of Lambert,
is offering free samples of Dow
pom grass killer to farmers of this
area, according to the manager.
1--WE would like to have all
growers in this area pick up a

way we know for them to rea-
lie what grass control around the

"Dowpon offers the one really
effective method of bringing pro-

said. Cultivation and moving can
hold grasses back although the
farmer usually winds up losing

like quack or johnson under con-
troll, he pointed out. Spraying with
Dowpon can control grasses, roots
and all, without taking fields out
of production.
The sample can be applied with
hand spray equipment or a sprink-
ling can. Specialized spray equip
ment is not needed with Dowpon.
Dowpon is a versatile product
with many uses 1t can be applied
an overall spray in seriously in
