These applications must be mailed by June 10th and there have been very few blanks distributed in Tremonton up to the present time, according to Postmaster James Walton. chairman of the sale. It was es- timated that at least 500 more could have been sold during the afternoon if they had been avail- able. The committee is appreciative of the hearty response and support of the people of the community to. this cause. 4 NEW SYSTEM four-motor- WILL SPEED UP MAIL DELIVERY All Branch Offices To Be Designated By Numerals $ The new method of speeding up mail deliveries, through addition of a branch post office number to the address on mail for delivery in large cities, is being placed in operation rapidly. Reports from many cities indicate that it has been received enthusiastically by the press, postmasters, business concerns and the public. Within a few days after initiai-tio- n of the plan, under instructions of Postmaster General Frank C. .Walker, nearly all the postmasters in the large cities affected had assigned postal unit numbers to their branch offices, millions of residents had been advised of the number to be added to their addresses, and a considerable volume of mail already was carrying the numbers assigned. By June 1, it is expected that practically all whose addresses are affected will have been notified of their postal unit numbers. The new system speeds up the separation of mail for distribution to branch offices and permits much more rapid handling of mail by inexperienced postal clerks, thousands of whom have been employed to replace personnel who have gone into the armed forces and into war industries. Rapid increase in volume of mail and the loss of some thirty thousand postal employees to the armed forces made it necessary to adopt the plan, in the interest of accurate, efficient mail service and for the relief of postal personnel who are carrying an extremely heavy burden of work. The average work week in the service now is about 52 hours, and in many post offices, employees are working 10 to 12 hours a day, seven days a week, because of local shortages of personnel. An example of the new type of address is: John 222 tes in Tremonton over the week Smith Mattapan Ave. C. Boston 8 BREAKS TO AGAIN BE ESTABLISHED IN BOX ELDER COUNTY tomfort!

M. Christensen, chairman of the Tremonton war price and rationing board, reminded residents of this area, today. At the same time he warned that many mistakes have been made on the applications so far returned to the OPA mailing center, .and that errors will cause undue work and delay. Applicants were urged to read the instructions on the application and fill it in with care to speed up the tremendous task of distribution. Following these rules will cut errors to a minimum: Print or type your name and return address on application form sc it can be easily read. List names and birth dates of all members of the family unit on the same application. Sign the application in your own handwriting. . . Tear off the identification stub and save it. It is your receipt. Affix three cents postage. Check form carefully to be sure there are no mistakes. Mail application before June 10. The local chairman also remind- The number after the name of the city indicates the branch post office (or "postal unit") through which delivery is made. Each resident of the large cities is asked by his postmaster to add the postal unit number to his return address, and to notify all to whom he writes that his address is not complete without the number. Residents of small cities, towns and rural regions should inquire of their correspondents in the large cities concerning the number assigned to the city residents' branch post office so that the mail may be expedited. The degree to which mail will be speeded depends upon the extent to which the numbers are used by mailers.

"In some cases, storekeepers have solicited the surrender of expired stamps from their customers," the chairman said. "In other cases, consumers have been voluntarily surrendering their stamps as a friendly gesture. In either case, such surrender is illegal and in violation of the letter as well as the spirit of the whole rationing program." Referring to sugar for canning program, the local chairman reminded consumers that stamps 15 and 16 are now valid for five pounds of canning sugar. "In making these stamps valid, OPA anticipates that the ten pounds thus made available will be sufficient to meet the needs of many families, thus making it for them to apply at the local board for any of the additional 15 pounds allowed," the chairman said. "In any case, the sugar provided by the two special stamps is expected to be sufficient to take care of the canning needs for the early fruits, and no applications for additional sugar for canning will be received by the board until a date to be announced later." r Emma Rae Anderson Wins WCTU Medal - The speech contest sponsored by the W.
