Indianapolis 500 Mile Still Excites Curiosity

When my cousins came to visit from Dallas, Tex., we wanted to show them sights of the Hoosier Capital but what they wanted was to ride around the 500 Mile Race Speedway in a sightseer bus. Those most closely identified with the state and motor dub travel bureaus say the 500 Mile Speedway Race isthe No. 1 attraction for visitors.

Speedway Race public relations director is Al Bloemker. who formerly headed the sports department of a metropolitan paper on which I worked Al wrote a race classic, a book called "500 Miles To Go.” This thrilling and authentic paper back is all sold out this time but will be back next year. Bloemker told me that the 500 Mile Race coverage this May 30 will in dude: 775 radio stations carrying the •’live” network program from 10:30 a. m to 3 p. m. May 30. The armed forces world wide radio network by radio and satellite will carrv the same program short wave. 175 MCA-TV closed circuit television outlets will earn- the entire race to theater and other audiences ( Indiana is blacked out of this closed circuit? The reporters, sports writers, broadcasters, magazine writers and others, will be supported by a small •’army” of photographers and technicians in the communications field.

There have been years of build up to make the 500 mile race the most

Postmaster Kizer Tells Os Mailbox Improvement Week Milford's postmaster Paul Kizer stated that May 15 to 20 is national Mailhnx Improvement week. He is encouraging residents on rural routes to examine, and improve where necessary, the appearance of their mailboxes. The purpose of mailbox improvement week is to call attention to the need for providing mail receptacles which are designed to protect the mail from weather, which are neat in appearance, conveniently located and safe to use. Mailboxes that meet the above four important requirements contribute to a more efficient delivery operation and result in an important service to the entire route. There are two approved styles of boxes, the traditional design comes in three standard sizes and the contemporary design in one size. These approved boxes are handled at Sharp’s Hardware and the Kosciusko County Farm Bureau. Mailboxes of the approved traditional or contemporary design are required, whenever a mailbox is newly installed or a present receptacle is replaced. Persons still using obsolete, top-opening boxes may continue to use them at the same location, provided they are kept in servicable condition and otherwise meet the requirements outlined above. A list of approved manufacturers of traditional rural boxes may be obtained from postmaster Kizer or the rural carriers. The name of the owner and the box number must be shown on the side of the box visible to the carrier as he approaches, or on the door where boxes are grouped. Residents are encouraged to group boxes whenever this is practicable, especially at or near crossroads. at service turnouts, or at other places where a considerable number of boxes are located. Mailboxes on rural routes must be located on the right-hand side of the road in the direction traveled by the carrier. Boxes and supports should be kept painted and free from rust. Box Numbers Important The use of your complete return address, which includes your box number, is earnestly solicited by postmaster Kizer and the rural carriers. It encourages your correspondents to use it and contributes to the efficiency of the postal service. As an example, postmaster Kizer states, "We might have Robert Smith, Richard Smith and Russell Smith on r 1. A letter is received for R. Smith and the carrier is at a loss as to where to deliver it. The use of the box number (R. Smith, r 1 box 403, city and zip code* would assure correct delivery' and prevent
