The snow was being driven by a 40-mile wind Months of work hy Valley par ous of the Cave Junction post- .ffice terminates when Postmaster Clem Arnold and his stft'f moves into their new quarters next door Sunday—but without the new fix tures and boxes. Chief advantage of the larger building was to be the increased amount of mail boxes. Due to dow moving postal authorities on i higher level, patrons will contin- * ae to be served from the same boxes and windows starting Mon lay in the new building. Postmaster Arnold has yet to l»e informed of the amount of box es which have been ordered I or the larger quarters but expects the major portion of the local gen eral delivery problem to he elim inated. Finishing touches to the new building are being made this week including the lettering on the front of the building in preparation for the Sunday move. The move will cause no changes in the local postal staff which in cludes in addition to Arnold who works full time, three part-time personnel. Arnold plans to fix up the old building so it can be rented at a future date. Local agitiation for larger quar- ters began about a year ago in hopes more working space and more mail boxes would eliminate the bottlenecks in service existing under present conditions. The building was contracted by Roh Ford of Cave Junction and was built of pumice blocks. ------------- o-------------- Two Youths Hurt In Auto Wreck Gerald Chappell, on leave from the navy, and PollyJIolm. daughter of R.
