Price at the joint conference of the Postal Employees of Rutherford, Cleveland counties at Bostic. May 31st. The matter of better postal s3i vice is one of co-operation. The public expects certain things of the postal employees and they in turn expect certain things from the peo ple. When the two co-operate, the service is always much better. Since there are twenty-two rural routes in Cleveland county and twenty in Rutherford county, over half the people of these two great counties are served by daily rural mail routes. A few suggestions to the patrons of these routes is in order first: Have your mail ready when the carrier comes around. He should be on a regular schedule. If you delay him to address packages, envelopes, etc., he cannot make his schedule. His time belongs to all his patrons and not to anyone. Don't ask him to wait until you read your mail and answer it. You have no right to monopolize his time. The other fel lows' mail and time is as important to him as yours is to you. Always think of the other fellow. Have correct change. Never put five or ten cents on an envelope and' cause your carrier to delay hunt ing change and leaving fou your part. Ket-p stamps, or stamped en velopes on hand. Every family should keep a supply of stamps and postal cards on hand. When you move leave your forwarding address with your carrier. Have your papers changed to the new address. Give the publisher both your old and new ad dress. If you are visiting on a route for several days and expect mail, have it addressed to you care of the family that you are visiting, so you can be found. Keep mail boxes in a convenient place, on a good sub stantial post and it oiled or greased. A carrier recently told me that he had much trouble in the winter time opening some boxes that were rust DO YOU SHAVE?

Town " Rout * State ; ed. he injured his fingers scratching the box open. Always* give your route number, if the postmaster is your brother or father, give your route number jyst the same. Take the case of county papers, a bundle is mailed to each route and one to the town. If your paper is in the tywn bundle when it should be on route two, or three or some other route and the carrier works up his bundle first, your paper will be a day late. Always put your return address on the left hand corn er of of an envelope, or on packages. Often this saves loss of time, etc. If the addressee cannot be found your mail will come back to you. Every farmer should have envelopes printed with his return address on them. The cost is small compared to the good it will do. What applies to patrons of rural routes applies, in many instances to patrons in towns and cities. Think of the other fellow when you go to the postoffice. He has "as much right to be Aere as you do. His business is as important to him as yours is to you. Don't spread out on the front window and take up all the space for fifteen or thirty minutes. Don't stand around and fuss with the postmaster or clerks about a package which you hope to receive and did not. Always keep a supply of stamps on hand. I know well to do people who buy a two cent stamp five or six times per day. This is a loss of time to the purchaser as well as the postmaster. Last year 21,000,000 letters went to the dead letter office in Washing ton, D. C., for lack of proper ad dress, 803,000 parcels did likewise. A total of 100,00 letters go into the mails yearly in blank envelopes. $55,- 000 in cash is removed annually from misdirected envelopes while $12,000 in postage stamps is found in a similiar way, annually $3,000,- 000 in checks, drafts, money orders, etc., annually never reach the in tended owners. Uncle Sam collects $92,000 annually in postage for the return of mail sent to the dead let ter office. One city alone costs the federal government SSOO a day to THE FOREST CITY COURIER,TH URSDAY, JUNE If, 1926 look after mail improperly . ad- J dressed. The above figures show what a j great price we. pay for carlessness. Several million dollars 'is spent an nually due to-carlessness. It would j be a most excellent idea if better! mail service and how to use the mails could be taught in our schools. | Many people do not know how to j properly use the mails. Some few people do not know their ad dresses. Think of the- other fellow, put your return address on the left hand corner of all your letters and pack ages, co-operate with the postal of ficials and we can be assured of bet ter postal service.. A good creed of the postal service ! would be: Messenger of sympathy and love; Servant of parted friends; consoler of the lonely; bond of the scattered family; enlarger of the common life; carrier of news and knowledge; instrument of trade and industry; promoter of mutual ac quaintance; of peace, and good will, among men and nations. SULPHUR SPRINGS Forest City; Route 1, June 8. —The ! farmers of this section seem to have the "dry weather blues" but let's "hope for a rain soon. I Our B. Y. P. U. is on the in crease now and the interest is much to be praised. The program given Sunday evening was extra good. We want to urge the people, both young and old, to get the habit of attending Sunday school. We should have three times the number en rolled in our school every Sunday. So let's get busy and bring them in. Three of S. B. Robbins' family, of Caroleen, are quite sick with typhoid fever. We hope they will begin to improve soon. The third Sunday in this month is th£ date set for the Robbins re union at Sulphur Springs. We hope they will see this announcement and I all be there with well filled dinner baskets. Let's enjoy the day to gether, as did last year. If there are others who wish to come, they, too, will be welcome. A- CARD FROM HON. THOS. J.
