Vandals Damage
Rural Mail Boxes
Hertford Postmaster W. W.
"Bill" White stated today it
has been reported that with
in the past week several
rural mail boxes in this
county have been damaged
by persons unknown. This
is a serious offense and car
ries a stiff penalty if the
guilty one or ones are ap
prehended. Postmaster White stated it
was not his desire to cause
anyone any trouble, but the
mail box vandalism has been
reported to the Post Office
Department for investigation.
It is hoped that this news
release will serve as a warn
ing to others who may har
bor ideas of having fun by
deliberately tearing down or
damaging rural mail boxes
for kicks. As the responsi
ble parties for the damage in
the past week will be found
and in all probability will
have to pay for their pranks.
