Turpentine Drippings Complied By Bill Sharpe TOO MANY DRAMAS giant! mother, who lived in the country two miles from the Smithfield postoffice, felt about someone go ing to town every day or so to bring home the mail. When the children walked in to school live days a week in winter time there was no trouble about getting mail, but at other seasons I suspect that sometimes slit invented re. sons for coming to town like the sugar giving out or the flour barrel gi t ting low or the kerosene oil can being empty. With her big family there was always darning or knitting or but tonholes to do after supper, but leading the Atlanta Constitution, or all of Grace Richmond's stones Penn Retail Price 12.10 Pints ■fsjr 86 Proof A PRESENT WITH A FUTURE •Miss America nf 1953” is trimminR her tree this year Vnso Ronds—'“the present with n future."

They were days before the turn ol the centum when ho free rural delivery served the country peo ple Out Inst four weeks in our new home at Chapel Hill were 1 ik( that The post office was a mile and a half away, and no city postman brought the mail to our door. And much ol our mail was going, and still is, to our Herald post office box in Southfield But last week the Chapel Hill postmaster told us that he had just ice. ived word from Washing ton that "mounted mail service" ! would bo extended to Whitehead I Circle. All we had to do was to ; purchase a mail beix like those on the rural routes and set il by the1 roadside' according to Uncle Sam’s i emulations.1 From then on 1 began to notice all the mail boxes between Chap el Hill and Smithfield. I recall tljiit from time to time the Herald, the' Progressive Fanner and other publications have written articles about beautifying the ruial mail i boxes, and 1 was looking for ideas. I obse'rved that most of the box owners have paid little heed to this urging and for the most part ihc boxes rest upon an unpainted j post with an arm as support Some lew are painted white with a neat board hanging from the arm bear ing the owner’s name. Once in a while. I found a wooden figure of Uncle Sam pa>nted in patriotic red, white, and blue supporting the box Anfl I saw one box with a graceful vine trained around the supporting post.
