These are slogans for the 18th annual Rural Mail Box Improvement Im-provement Week to 'be observed i this year in Orem and the rest of the nation during the week of May 21-26. The unsightly appearance of a large number of rural mail boxes has caused the Post Office Department De-partment no little concern, and Postmaster General 'Arthur E. Summerfield is asking for a nationwide nat-ionwide campaign to clean up these neglected spots. More than a half century ago rural free delivery was established. establish-ed. At first ridiculed as a foolish experiment, patrons who received receiv-ed mail in those first days put up shaky posts and attached dis carded kitcheoware and old bas kets to hold the mail. Later the Department stepped In with an order that all mail btfxes must conform to a definite standard regarding size, shape and sup ports. Now the box must be one authorized by the Department with a door that opens easily and a flag, and must be securely secure-ly attached to an upright and sturdy post. The box and sup port should be painted white with the owner's name neatly printed on the side the carrier approaches or on a strip above the box. Where several boxes are together a heavy plank between two posts makes an excellent support for them all.

Who has not heard the joyous sound Of, ever welcome, April rain? Nor heard, at dawn, the music of The meadow lark in glad refrain? But most of us must toil all day, Keeping the proverbial wolf away, We don't take time to hear or see The best things in life, which all come free. Take time tonight to ride out through An orchard, blossoming so fair, The owner will gladly share with you The radiant beauty he has there. The iris are just beginning to bloom, Many flowering shrubs you'll see, And one of Orem's most beautiful sights Is the old-fashioned lilac tree. Orem has an unusual setting, It's surrounded by mountains high And the shining jewel that is Utah Lake Reflects the deep blue of the sky. Watch the lake at the hour of sunset, You'll see a rare sight I know, As the lake turns to gold and crimson. And mirrors the sunset glow. Then lift your eyes to the mountain, To old Timp, all capped with white, And those peaks will absorb the color Reflecting the sun's last light. As you drive to your home in the twilight, I am sure that you will agree, It's a beautiful world we live in, And the best things in life are free. per advertising was Increased 19 percent; outdoor media, 4 per cent; and business ' publications, 3 percent.

It's as simple as this: Only two cars in all creation outsell Buick. And they are two of the well-known smaller cars.
