Section L: o
We have been studying a unit
in Social, Living called Our Com
munity. ."eFirst we read, discussed
and wrote stories about community
helpers who they are and what
they do in our community. Next we
talked about the community build
ings in our community. All these
peoplesand buildings help to make
our town of Milford a good place
to live. %
To end our unit, we made plans
to visit four of the community
buildings in Milford We took these
trips in two days Oand would like
to tell you about them.
On Thursday, April II, 1862, we
took a trip downtown. First We
went to the Post Office. Mr.. Pearce
and Mr.. Bowman met us at the
door. They took us inside to the
win6pw where each of us bought
a four cent stamp to put on our
letters tcat we wrote to our
friends. Then we put our letters in
the right slot In Town or Out of
Town. Then Mr.. Bowman showed
us many kinds of stamps.
Next he0took us around in back
of the window to show us what
happens to our letters. First they
go through cancelling machine.
That is so the stamp cannot be
used again. Also it puts the town,
time, and date it was mailed on the
letter. Then the letters were dis
tributed in the correct cases. Some
went in local, cases and others in
cases for other towns or states.
Those that go o@ of town were
tied in a bundle and put in bags
ready for the truck to pick up out
back and be carried to Dover. Q
The local mail was put together
by tho mai0lan in the order that
he will deliver it, Then he starts
on his way to deliver the mail. We
know everyone is looking forward
to the opening of the new Post Of
flee in May.
We left the Post Office and
walked down to the Fire Hail. Mr..
Workman and M0 Smith 9ok us
around and showed us all the fire
engines that they use now They
told us many things about them. =
Next we went into another room
to see the ambulance, rescue truck,
and old fire engines. The ambu-
lance is just like a travelling hos
pital. Each of us got to sit in one
of tho fire engines
We left the Fire Hall. got in our
bus and came back to school. 1t
was an exciting trip. @

Friday, April 13, we got in the
bus again and went downtown. We
stopped at the0Police Station. Chief
Short met us at the door and took
us in the courtroom where8 they
hold trials. He introduced many
other policemen ana explained
what is done in the courtroom. He
showed us some of their equip
ment and how they use it. He talk
ed to us about the duties of q
policeman, how they help us. and
many things that we can do to help
them.
We took a tour through the
building. 6hief Short showed us
the cells where people are put
when they are bad. Mr.. Bramble
showed us the radio room and how
they use the radios in their daily
work. We enjoyed this very much,
and we knoWOthat a policeman is
our friend and we shall do every
thing we can do to make their job
easier.
Next we walked to the City
Hall. Mayor Humes met us at the
door. First we went to the Council
Room. This is the room where
Councilmen of Milford meet n
talk about city laws. We wen
through a room whe@ our parents
can pay the electric bills and taxes

ed the Farmers Room. Here peo
pie of Milford can rest end talk
