MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1939.
POSTOFFICE JOB
Work on the extension and re
modeling of the Medford fed
eral building will begin Wed
nesday or Thursday, it was
stated yesterday by C. H. Post,
superintendent in charge of the
Job for the L. H. Hoffman com
pany of Portland, contractor.
Mr. Post conferred here yes
terday with James L. Murphy,
construction engineer of the
federal works agency who will
supervise the work for the gov
ernment, on the plans and speci
fications. It was feared for a time that
a delay in the delivery of
needed structural steel would
hold up the work for perhaps
a month but Mr. Post said yes
terday that his company had
been assured the steel would be
delivered on time.
The work is to be done in
three units, first of which is the
extension or addition. The next
two unts arc the remodeling of
the present structure. It is cal
culated that the entire job will
take about a year.
As the addition is to be
erected in the area north or in
the back of the present build
ing, provision must be made im
mediately for the loading and
unloading of mail and this will
be clone by making a door out
of a window at the east end,
Mr. Post explained. A loading
platform will be built for hand
ling the incoming and outgoing
mail at the Holly street side of
the postoffice.
A chute will be built to the
basement and carriers will do
their work in the bnsement in
stead of on the main floor as
now. A dust-proof partition is
to be built on the inside of the
entire north wall so that con
struction of the addition will not
interfere with the normal func
tioning of the federal agencies
housed in the building, Mr. Post
related.
The first unit will interfere
in no way with the ordinary
use of the building by employes
or the public, Mr. Post said.
Virtually all the space around
the building, however, will bo
occupied by the contractor with
work houses, materials and
equipment, he said.

MAIL BOX TRICKS
COME UNDER LAW
Asserting that while he had
not lost his zest for yoi'th and
the pranks of youth, Postmaster
Frank DeSouza nevertheless yes
terday issued a warning that it
is a federal offense wilfully to
damage or destroy rural mail
boxes on Hallowe'en as well as
at any other time.
"Far be it from me to curtail
the fun of youngsters on Hallo
we'en but there is the federal
law and the law must be en
forced," Mr. DeSouza declared.
All cases of wilful damage or
destruction must be reported to
C. E. Paine, inspector in charge
of this district, at Seattle, who
then must send out an agent
to investigate and to procure
if possible the names of the
alleged culprits as the first steps
in prosecuting any case, the
postmaster said.
Rural box holders were re
quested to report any violation
as soon as possible and to give
information on the offenders if
possible.

Committee members of the
Red Cross war relief production
organization yesterday made an
appeal for additional women of
Medford to turn out for sewing
sessions held each Monday.
Wednesday and Friday from 9
to 12 a. m. and from 1 to 5 p. m.
in the Red Cross office located
in the county courthouse.
It was reported yesterday that
women living in outlying county
districts are responding more
readily for the sewing and cut
ting meetings for the purpose
of making war refugee garments
than the women residing in
Medford.
A great deal of successful
work is now being carried on
in the following districts: Eagle
Point, Trail, Ashland, Table
Rock, Jacksonville and Oak
Grove.
A group of 40 Medford women
have joined the knitting meet
ings and it is now desired that
others respond to the sewing
sessions. It was also pointed out
by committee members that
those wishing to participate in
the sewing need not be expert
at the craft as there are numer
ous small jobs to be doric.
