While the commi'lee from the Lions awaited the promised visit of the postoffice representative, at which time they expected to lay be fore him their problem witfe the re quest for improvements, the investi gation was made and the report of the representative sent to his su perior and the matter was apparently disposed of. Norman Trueblood, secretary of the Lions Club, and chairman of a committee appointed by the club to handle the matter of trying to se cure improved mail facilities for tfris postoffice, appealed to congressman Lindsey Warren last December.. Mr Warren, shortly thereafter, sent Mr. Trueblood a copy of a letter from the Second Assistant Postmaster Gen eral in which he promised to send a representative to Hertford to make investigation. Acting upon the suggestion of Mr. Warren at the time, Mr. Trueblood rami Astod Postmaster S. M. Whedbee to contact the committee irom uie Lions Club upon the visit of the pos tal representative. Mr. Trueblood received tnis wee . .. - . 1 CI.- I a copy of a letter irom me oeconu Assistant Postmaster General to Mr. Warren, in which he stated: "This case was investigated by one of our field officials who personally interviewed the postmaster and other patrons at Hertford and found that the prwciple complaint was on ac count frrnot having a late dispatch for outgoing maiL .The ncstmaster stated, however, that tairty-mtnute later departure1 of the carrier on Star Route No. 181102 Norfolk to Wilsont (A. C L. Statihn),. would be sufficifoit to care fflrhe needs of the service, and as this- would stall permit the carriev to make dose con nection with the trains " at Wilson the .suggested change in schedule has been authorized." The letter further sets forth that it would not be practicable to require the carrier on this route to transport ordinary parcel post, which was one of ihe proposals of the Lions, as this would slow up the service to such an extent as to jeopardize mak ing close connections with trains at Wilson and Norfolk. Upon receipt of this letter, Mr. Trueblood catted at the postoffice to ask for an explanation from Post master Whedbee as to why he was not notified when the representative called. The Postmaster informed Mr. Trueblood that the representa tive who visited Hertford said that he would not meet a delegation untJ! he found out what was wan'ed. It aonears. from Mr. Whedbee's if the committee wit irt no certain data and talk with a number of the patrons of the office and find out what tney want and put the matter in concrete form, the representative will come and go into tiie matter with them. There appeared to be some mis understanding, however, since Mr. Trueblood was insistent that this was exactly what had been done al ready, and that his committee was awaitdng the opportunity to meet the representative. Postmaster Whedbee stated that he did not consider the matter closed at an And AxnreMed his willingness to send for the representative at any time and take up the proposition with him. : .':,..'.. ,.. , .11viORm-4rftinplaint: what .mi.: rnnr hi . which maQ is tt-'postotflce, :'-i5P5"V,: pedally stressea byr, reuepropo, Who: varafy praised rice indered by the office: invery particular.
