Mr. Smith, a attended the ninth annual con . j .I. -i , vention of the American School recognized authority on early j b J ' Food Service association Octob- day mail routes and offices of ! er 31 to November 3. Oregon and California, displayed several of his many albums of pfoneer covers, of both states. He stated that during the gold rush days it was practically im possible to hire mail carriers, or postmasters either, as every one was engaging in mining. A man by the name of Voorhies was first appointed by the govern ment in Washington to name the postmasters and mail carriers for Oregon and California. He was stationed in San Francisco. The first expressman in California to carry mail was Alexander Todd. He charged a dollar or more for each letter he carried. Mr. Smith also displayed a book written by Walter Frick stad of Oakland, Calif., called "A Century of California Post Offices." It lists every postoffice ever established in California, the county it is or was in and its first postmaster. If it has been discontinued it gives the date of that, besides the date it was established. The first United States post office in California was estab lished at Monterey and the sec ond at San Francisco. Most of the mail came around the Horn, with the postage rate of 40 cents for the half ounce. The rate per half ounce between towns was 12V2 cents, but very few of these cov ers exist. Mrs. Edward Leach, Mrs. Lil lian Capsey and Roland Beach were named to the nominating committee. The election will be at the meeting December 1. The December meeting will be held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Lewis of Ashland.

The exhibits presented the latest in equipment and foods dis plays. One morning was devoted to planned trips to visit schools and observe the lunch programs, in Denver and the surrounding area.
