The post office department
designates a week during May
each year when patrons on
rural, city motorized, and box
delivery star routes are encour
aged to examine, and improve
where necessary, the appear
ance of their mailboxes. The
week of May 18-23 has been
selected this year. The purpose
of Mailbox Improvement Week
is to call attention to the need
for providing mail receptacles
which are designed to protect
the mail from the weather, and
which are neat in appearance,
conveniently located, and safe
to use.
Mailboxes that meet the
above four important require
ments contribute to a more ef
ficient delivery operation, and
the result is an improved ser
vice to the entire route.
Mailboxes of the approved
traditional or contemporary de
sign are required, whenever a
mailbox is newly installed or a
present receptacle is replaced.
Patrons still using obsolete, top
opening boxes may continue to
use them at the same location,
provided they are kept in ser
viceable conditon and otherwise
meet the requirements outlined
above.
Where box numbers are as
signed, the name of the owner
and the box number must be
shown on the side of the box
visible to the carrier as he
approaches, or on the door
where boxes are grouped. Pat
rons should be encouraged to
group boxes wherever this is
practicable, especially at or
near crossroads, at service turn-
VOTE —
outs, or at other places where
a considerable number of boxes
are located.
Where the use of street names
and house numbers has been
authorized, the house number
will be shown on the box. If
the box is located on the street
other than the one on which
the patron resides, the street
name and house number will be
inscribed on the box. In these
instances, the placing of the
owner’s name on the box is
optional.
Height of boxes depends on
the type of vehicle used by the
carrier, but requests to change
the height or position of boxes
should be kept to an absolute
minimum.
Boxes should be installed with
the bottom of the box between
3Ms and 4 feet from the road
way. Where boxes are not lo
cated directly in front of the
owner’s residence, the patron’s
name and house number must
be shown on the box. Attrac
tive protective housings may be
used where boxes are grouped,
star route must be located on
the right-hand side of the road
in the direction traveled by the
carrier wherever it would be
dangerous to serve the boxes on
the left or where this would be
a violation of state or local
traffic laws or regulations. Box
es and supports should be kept
painted and free from rust.
Wherever practicable, mail
boxes should be located so that
carriers need not halt on the
traveled portion of the roadway
This specification is particular
ly important near curves or hill
crests where sight lines are
frequently inadequate to assure
the safety of carriers when they
are serving boxes at these lo
cations.
Vernonia Postmaster Thomas
Tomlin said he would like to
emphasize the importance of
having the “proper receptacle
for your mail box and to have
it erected in the proper man
ner. It not only speeds up the
delivery of the mail, but when
your name and number is on
the box, it assures the proper
delivery of the mail,” he adds.
“Your mail box condition not
only causes a reflection on the
local post office, but also of the
patron whose box it is. It does
much for the beautification of
our roadside to have neat and
proper erected mail boxes along
our highways and in front of
our homes,” he concluded.
Candidates to
Sign for Exam
Congressman Wendell Wyatt
(R-Ore.) has announced that he
has arranged with the U.S. Ci
vil Service commission to hold
on Tuesday, July 7, 1970, a pre
liminary qualifying examination

appointment in 1971 to the U.S.
Naval Academy, Annapolis,
Maryland: the U. S. Military
Academy, West Point, New
York; the Air Force Academy,
Denver, Colorado; and the U.S.
Merchant Marine Academy,
Kings Point, New York.
Candidates for admission to
the Naval Academy must be not
less than seventeen years of age
nor more than twenty-two years
of age on July 1, 1971. Candi
dates for the Military, Air
Force, and Merchant Marine
Academies are eligible for ad
mission from the day they are
seventeen until they become
twenty-two years old, on which
latter day they are not eligible.
Candidates for all academies
must never have been married.
All candidates for the Service

gressman Wendell Wyatt, 414
House Office Building, Washing
ton, D.C. 20515, in writing not
later than June 1, 1970 of their
desire to participate in the ex
amination in order that neces
sary arrangements can be
made for the test.
The feUow who goes through
life thinking what a hard time
he has, has a hard time.
Men who travel the straight
and narrow have one advantage
—they can see a long way
ahead.
