PAINT THE RURAL MAIL BOXES Postoffice Department Asks That This Be Done and That Names of Owners Be Placed On Their Boxes. Special attention of the post master where rural delivery is in j operation has been called by t Uncle Sam to the need of keeping j the rural mail box painted and in good repair A recent survey ] was made hy government* fficials s and it wae found that on almost every rural route there are from one to a score of mail boxes that ' need painting, that are not waterproof or that are poorly ■ fastened in place. Exposure to | the elements is usually responsi ble. So that their appearance may be improved the department ] suggests that the boxes b? paint ed white with the owner's name on both sides of the box, ir. black , | letters. Of course, refusal to'; paint boxes does not mean that; service will be withdrawn, but! j Uncle Sam feels that all patrons j ; of his postoffice department should ; | appreciate the service rendered | enough to co-operate a little, at i least to the extent of providing I neat and waterproof boxes in ; which to get their mail.
