BES0LUTI0WS. , Passed-by the Oaston County Rural Letter Carriers Assocla . f ion at Cherrrvllla Monday. .... . i ' - -' To the National Association of Rural Letter Carriers: We, tbe ' Rural Letter Carriers As sociation of" Gaston county, North Carolina, do . adopt the following resolutions: .Tbat the National Association of Rural Letter Carriers 4ake some action with the Post Office Department at . Washington, D. C, in regard to the form and style of mail boxes that are being used throughout the country. First, we believe that no box should be placed , on a route which opens on top, because, first, it is impossible to see into tbe box without getting at least a part of the body out of tbe vehicle, which is very disagree able in bad weather, also because we are more apt to overlook something deposited in the box for us to collect, from the fact that we can not see into all parts of the box under the above con ditions: Second, we further ask that there be some action taken in regard to the locks on boxes. We beleive that the present con ditions can be at least checked, if no more. We believe that the pad locks should be abolished. First from the fact that It takes both hands to handle the lock which causes us to drop our Hues and everything in our hands to handle same, which is liable to cause accident. Further, we find that in freezing weather the locks, being exposed, get full of water and freeze, which makes it impossible to lock and unlock, also causing considerable - delay in handling the mail. We , also find in case of the above named lock that it is always to unlock whether there is any mail to collect or not. We find that it is necessary for tne patron to keep his lock locked at all times from the fact it is not attached to the box. That is the only means he lias to keep those who are so inclined from carrying off his locki'fiWe believe that the Department should and will take steps to remedy: the above con ditions tf we can onee get them to see the reasonableness of our complaint. We believe some steps will be taken and tbe sooner the better for all concerned. Resolved, that a copy of the above be sent to the R. F, D. News. -4 J. W. Carroll, T. C, Smith, J Com.

Mr.' Ed Little, who recently sold his furniture business here to the Rankin Fnrniture Com pany, returned Friday night from a two-weeks trip to Okla homa and the Indian Territory.
