POSTAL IMPROVE MENT WEEK The week of May Ist to 6th has been designated ‘‘Postal Improve ment Week.” During that week, it is desired to do everything possible to improve the postal service in Barnesville and to that end, I want every patron of the service to give me any suggestion that will help. The postal service is a machine composed of human units and as hu mans we cannot always see our own mistakes. For that reason, we would like to know the mistakes that others have seen us make in order that we ' may try to correct our ways in the interest of better service. If you have a suggestion or any constructive criticism let the post master know about it. Sincerely yours, C. P. GRADDICK.
