He and his co-workers had been right much disturbed in recent days over the plight of the pf).stoffice flag, which had gotten stuck in a three-quarter- mast position 10. feet below the top of the 75-foot pole. Repeated efforts to free the flag rope, which had slipped off it.s pulley, had all failed. Postmaster Paul Cheek had even started official arrange-, ments to have a man brought in to .scale the pole and rescue the flag. Then Riggsbee had a dream, according to what he told his fellow employees. He said he dreamed the flag rope was free. Saturday morning, first thing, he went out and gave the rope a gentle tug, and it w^as in perfect working condition. And it’s been that way since, though still off the pulley. The flag didn’t fly yesterday in keeping with postal laws w'hich provide that, Sunday may be a flag holiday. But as a re sult of the custodian’s nocturnal clairvoyance it’s rippling normal ly in the breezes at the top of the pole again today. RICHARD L.
