Banner Must Be Delivered Is Motto Of Blue Family

Paxil Blue, left, Jon Blue, center, and Jim Blue, right The horse is Elly May.

Using the same philosophy as the Post Office that “the mail must go through,*’ the Paul Blue family upholds that tradition in delivering The Daily Ban-

ner.

Even though money isn’t the motivating factor for the Blues to cater to the smallest route (in number) in Putnam County, the family takes the task seriously. Whenever the elements have hindered the normal delivery vehicles, Jon, on occasion, baa had to revert to the family tractor and in picture above, •addle the family horse. For approximately nine years, The Banner route has been in the Blue family, starting with Paul, 18, a senior at the local high school. Currently, Jonathan, 16, delivers The Banner to the seven customers that reaide along the three-quarter mile of Sunset Drive Extension. And younger brother, Jim, 13, a seventh grade pupil at the Junior High School, is standing in the wings, waiting for his chance to serve the neigh-

borhood.

Even the father, Paul, had his

opportunity when he was a substitute carrier for the adjacent route to Sunset Drive Extension.

Foresters from Forest Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture, who are conducting the second Indiana Forest Inventory, are now working in Putnam Coxinty, according to George Conn, forester in charge of field crews. The foresters, from the North Central Forest Experiment Station, St. Paul, Minnesota, cooperating with the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, are examining samples of timber throughout the coxinty. The old saying, “Time waits for no man,” might well be expanded to include forests also. Land use and ownership patterns, species, tree volumes, and log quality change rapidly. New uses are found for wood fiber and new methods of processing i are developed. These innovations often mean increased use for species previously in little demand. If Indiana is to keep pace with the nation’s economy and attract a share of the expanding wood-using industry, it must know its wood producing potential. To this end the current inventory is finding out the forest areas, the timber volume and growth, future volume based on material too small to harvest at the present time, and the present and future quality of the standing timber. Tree measurements taken on the sample plots will be forwarded to the Forest Experiment Station’s St. Paul office. After the data is processed by modern computers and analyzed by trained resource personnel, the results will be summarized and published. These reports will provide landowners, economic development coxmcils, forest industries, and government agencies with basic information needed to protect, manage, and utilize Indiana’s timber resource. Closed Feb. 22 The Greencastle Post Office will be closed Wednesday, Feb. 22, in observance of Washington’s birthday. There will be no city or rural deliveries. Collections and dispatches will be on holiday schedule.
