Another bought $10 worth for regular purposes At the close of the day December 31, 1952, receipts wrere within $7 of $8,000 without these purchases. Thus, the Parowan Post Office a few months later was declared to have a second class status for 1952. In 1953 the receipts rose more than $800 above the minimum requirement and , for 1954 to date the receipts have been proportionate. The community has enjoyed the added which it properly services deserves on the basis of the volume of business transacted. The postal inspectors took nearly $400 from Mr. Decker which was the difference in salary betw'een a third and second class post office for 1952. The powers that be have hastened the removal of Mr. Decker from his office and his replacement before the matter was determined on its merits in the U. S. Court. It was heartening that some citizens at their own expense traveled to Salt Lake City to testify before the court as to the good character of Mr. Decker. I speak of Arthur Joseph and Jay Moore. G.
