For Housewives New By Jennie Graham When you stop to think what a very small Merry Christmas we would have in the City of Dhchesne, or in the whole world if there was no United States Mail System, to bring our packages in to us and carry our gay cards- and heavy packages away to those we love, and wish them the seasons very best wishes: guess we certainly should find time to wish these quick, efficient workers a very MERRY CHRISTMAS, and thanks for all they have done to make this such a truly HAPPY CHRISTMAS TIME. Have you ever thought how wonderful that pleasant smile and cheery thank you that Ned Fairbanks gives you when youj know you must be the thousandth person that has asked for one three-cen- t stamp every hour. Or hour patient Wm. H. Case is to- hunt up information for your package and help write and tie it up for mailing; or how kind Don Mayhew is to help so that your trip into town is pleasant, and that you can get your mail when it is most convenient to you, Guess we have the most pleasant Post Office workers in the whole world at Christmas time. They always have time to laugh and joke, even when the wind comes freezing around their legs as the doors stand open for hours as the big sacks and stacks of mail are being dragged out to the waiting trucks. Then there are the truck drivers. who always seem so wide awake as they drive up early - or late to heap the truck with mail and go over all kinds of roads to deliver' the mail to each post office and lonely boxes so that no child will be disappointed in not finding Santas fine gifts on Christmas morning. So please, workers of the U. S. Mail in Duchesne and throughout the big, wide world, Thanks so very much and a Very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from all of us to all of you.
