) Improvement Week On Rural Mailboxes Designate May 21-26 Improvement week “It’s spritg! We paint our houses, fix up pur lawns and make lets of improvements" and postmaster Kirsch asks that all of the rural patrohs of the Decatur post office make' this section of America more beautiful by fixing up and painting rural nrtiil boxes , May 21 - 26. The postmaster points out that boxes and posts are to be painted either white or aluminum and the name of the patron should be printed in black or other dark color letters about one inch high. This year will be the 18th year that the post office departmen has asked rural patrons to coop orate in having rural mall boxes erected according to regulations and made more attractive by painting and other improvements. During the month of May, each year, the postmaster accompanies the rural carriers for an Inspec tion of the route. It is a matter of much pride to the rural carrier when his patrons have kept their boxes and posts in good repdir and well painted and service to the box is safe and rapid, the postmaster said. “Well placed and painted rural boxes are also a credit to the community, for rural America is often judged by her millions of rural mailboxes , which can, with so little effort, .present a pleasing monument to a great postal service. Most of the patrons who have lived on Decatur rural routes for some time, have, over a period of years, maintained their boxes and posts very well. For some of the new patrons and of course, for the patrons who may have neglected their boxes, the following suggestions are made:” “The box must be a regular mail box, approved and authorized by the post office department. Any new box that you buy must have this authorization stamped on the box. The door of the box should open easily and the box must have a flag. The bottom of the small size box should be approximately 42 inches above the ground and the bottom of the large size box should be 38 inches above the ground. The boxes should be monnted on an arm extending out from the post Ruts in the apprach should be kept filled at all times and the area immediately around the approach must be kept clean and open. The carrier is not required to. leave , his vehicle to serve the 4 box. f J, 'f.Whow neighbors live close together, the boxes should be grouped, preferably on a shelf like board supported by two or four strong posts. The boxes must always be erected on the right Side of the road as traveled by the carrier. “A report of the condition of the rural boxes must be made at the close of the inspection period to the post office operations manager. The rural carriers and postmaster of the Decatur post office hope that the same cooperation ; wil iagain be given to this improvement week project as has been given in previous years so that our report will be favorably?’ I’ttOSP.ITAL Admitted Mrs. Alice Barr,.Geneva; Deryel Amstutz, Geneva ;4Pamela Railing., Decatur; Masters Rodney and Max' Munson, Cralgvllle; Howard Razer, Decatur; Vickie Blomenberg, Decatur.
