InsUptly the bird swooped down, grabbed the precious letter in its bill and flew off. Fortunately this story has a happy end.ng For a young member of the family spotted the thief and. because of the weight of the letter and scared by the youngster screams, the bird dropped the check after a short flight The next day a brand new mail box complete with door greeted the rural carrier at this particular spot' This story, and it is said to be the gospel truth, while perhaps an extreme example points up the im portance of always keeping rural mail boxes in topnotch condition. It has been aptly stated that a rural mail box is not only an article of utility but the front door of the home it senes And when it realized that nearly nine and one half million families were served by rural routes as of June 30, 1954, the importance of postal employes impressing on patrons the need for neat and efficiently operating rural boxes can not be overemphasized Freshen up Tired Rural Boxes Once again it is time for Rural Mall Box Improvement." Not that this should be limited to any particular time of year, but in order to point up the necessity of beautifying your mail box along with spring house cleaning the month of May is set aside each year as Mail Box Improvement Month This is an annual inspection de creed by the Post Office Depart ment. The unsight 1) appearance of a large number of rural boxes has caused the Post Office Department official concern. More than half a century ago rural free delivery service was es stablished At first ridiculed as a foolish experiment, patrons who re ceived mail in those first days put up shaky posts and attached dis carded kitchenware and old baskets to hold the mail. Later the Post Of fice Department stepped in with an order that all mail boxes must conform to a definite standard re garding size, shape and supports. The box must be a regular mail box, authorized by the Post Office Department It must be in good condition with a door that opens easily and a flag and must be securely at tached on an upright and sturdy post The box and support 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 The bottom of the box should be 42 inches above the ground and on an arm extending ou! from the post Ruts in the approach to the mail box should be fillid and the ap math kept clean of debris and foliage It is believed that where mail boxes are improved the mail service is likewise improved. Every rural patron will find the Roy Post Office employes anxious to give excellent service at all times. The (ooperation of all owners of rural boxes is solicited in this campaign. Some, patrons have been confused over the Roy rural mail box inspection. Rural patrons MUST USE BOX NUMBERS on all cor respondent. Mounted patrons, who also receive mail by car, MUST USE HOUSE NUMBERS. The mounted route serves patrons on 1900 West from 4000 South to 5600 South. If you live in this area, you MUST use house numbers. Each type of mad service is regulated by a separate set of rules. The rural carrier can sell stamps, register letters, sell money orders or mail your packages. The mounted carrier cannot render his patrons any of these services. The rural carrier ia NOT to leave the car to deliver packages except for NUMBERED special deliveries, Insured or registered mull. During this inspection, the rural patrons were reassigned box number This became necessary because of Roys new service. A number of portions of the old rural route were put on city A to build Mrs Gladys Barker presented the lesson "Stor.es of the Mormon Bat tallion " She gave the history of four meij who played a great part in the eo'oniration and develop ment of the state of Utah James Brown, captain of Com pany C of the Jtormon Battalion, who came to Weber County in 1848 and w'as one of its first colonizers, Christopher Layton also a member of Company C who pioneered in dry farming and the raising of al falia in Davis County.
